I've tried GROUP BY but none of the aggregate functions seem to just take th ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. In Game Movies

  Does anyone know whether the XNA Framework will allow for games to be written that have Cut-Scene videos, perhaps using non-Microsoft codecs such as divx or another codec that allows high-video compression to limit the size of the game. Will the game be able to use any audio/video codecs that Windows has installed on it, and will it be able to load pre-written non-managed code DLL's Dr.9 wrote: +1 How do we formally request it XNA builds should at the very least be able to play high res windows media 9 content. - Nevermind, I found it on the 'features request'.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) creating client proxy from https service

  Hi, everyone I just downloaded sample from Mike Taulty's Blog http://mtaulty.com/communityserver/blogs/mike_taultys_blog/archive/2006/06/08/5848.aspx He posted a sample on UsernameAndPassword validation sample. Here he uses https transport. I'm trying to regenerate the client proxy but when I type in svcutil.exe https://localhost:9500/service I get errors. From his sample, it seems like he generated code using a something called ProxyCode.map which looked like this. < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" > <ServiceReference>  <ProxyGenerationParameters   ServiceReferenceUri=" https://localhost:9500/service "   Name="ProxyCode"   NotifyPropertyChange="False"    ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development communication between BHO and IE Toolbar Extension

  Hi, we have a working Browser Helper Object (BHO) implemented in C++, that is used to append some header information to HTTP requests. Also we are able to create a toolbar extension for IE. Our fundamental problem is to find a way to make these two communicating with each other. The BHO should take into account, e.g. if a checkbox is set in the toolbar etc... I've found enhanceie.com and all the information in the Add-on Development Section. Given that there is virtually no information on the internet, that fits our (maybe somewhat special ) problem, this site is the closest I could get. So I wonder if anybody can give us a hint or (even better) a working code example, to set us on track. Is there a "usual" way to impleme ...Show All
