• Visual Studio Team System Recent changes that broke our build

  Environment: All workstations up until today have been able to run our automated build without any problems. Our solution has about 20 projects in it. For example sake, let's pretend we have TWO projects ProjectA (VB.NET), ProjectB (VB.NET) The change: We recently converted ProjectB completely C#. The project is still named ProjectB, but obviously it contains only .cs files instead of .vb files. The problem: Running the automated build returns tons of errors on the C# projects (ProjectB in this example): error CS0246: The type or namespace name '<TypeName>' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference ) error CS0308: The non-generic type '<TypeName>' cannot be used with type arguments T ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Texture Filtering Problem

  I have just recently converted my MDX project over to XNA, now I have slowly ironed out most of my problems but one that remains is the texture quality. My game looks the same as the old MDX one does when mip filtering is not enabled. Is there anything special in XNA that would stop the mip filtering from working or any kind of problem that would cause a similar look on the textures. It's like something is overriding the setting, but I cant figure out what it is. Derek Nedelman wrote: A 1 is being passed, but it doesn't mean that only one mip level is created. When specifying ResourceUsage.AutoGenerateMipMap, all the mip levels are created. I know because this is what I use. In fact, passing 0 with ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Bitmap with AlphaChannel

  Hello, I'm following the first tutorial from Your first XNA Game found under Help/Contents. I created a png texture of a ball, but I would like the contour to be transparent. The tutorial explains how to do this by using the DirectX Texture Tool , but then what should I save the texture as dds, and load that into my project That is what I did, but still the texture is drawn as a rectangle, ie. transparent region still show.

• Visual Basic Page Event Not following exact order?

  I have a web page in .net2.0 where i change a session variable in a gridview. So during page load, i look using the 'determinepostbackmode' '__EventArguement' key to see if the event will be called and then do something appropriately. This works most of the time. On rare occasion (1 of 20 postbacks) it looks as if the gridview event finishes before the page load logic. Is this possible I thought that page events were syncronous. Thanks I'd suggest that you redirect this question to the ASP.Net forums. forums.asp.net As they are probably better able to answer your question. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Creating a Derived Type in the Designer

  I am attempting to re-create my previous VideoGames database using the designer. I want to see if I can do everything I need without tweaking the underlying XML once. So far its working with NavigationProperties. However, either its been too long since I've used this stuff, or the designer is limited. I am trying to create a derived type called WiiGames that derives from VideoGames, that uses a condition where the VideoGame.Type.ID is 1 (Wii). Anyone have a walkthrough on how to do this in the designer and/or how to start using the designer and finish using XML Has anybody created a conditional derived type Thats really all I need here is how to fix this syntax so I don't get the above runtime exception about the mapping...

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Support for Group By, Having etc

  How sophisticated are the query capabilities for LINQ. Can a SELECT includes Group Bys, Aggregate Functions, Having Clauses. I have a sophisticated query which runs within the MS Access query designer, but running the same query using .NET OleDb provider results in an error. The query uses joins to selects which have group by and aggregate functions in them. The error message says there is an error in the Syntax after the From clause. So I'm thinking to return result sets back to VB.NET and use LINQ to further process the data into the final result set. The other alternative is use a lot more code to massage the data into the final result set which is going to be nasty. Actually LINQ doesn't a ...Show All

• .NET Development Using a Thread in a Web Application to Access a Database

  Hi. Is it possible to use a thread to interact with a database I want to do some logging of user transactions but I don't want to hold up the user while he/she is interacting with the website. I have found some examples tf using threads in a Windows application, but very little for web-applications. I really could use an example where a thread starts a parameratized function, and how to set this up. So far, as a test,  I have tried: Thread t = new Thread( new ThreadStart(Send_Email_Edit_Value)); t.Start(transaction, List_Name, IB_Acct, Current_Acct, Current_Value, strNewValue, Current_Unit, New_Unit);   The function I am trying to start is: private void Send_Email_Edit_Value( string transaction, ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom Object in DataGrid

  Hi all, I am in the process of developing a Datagrid that is bound to a collection of custom objects, and will display the data as columns of custom controls. I have successfully created a custom gridcolumnstyle which hosts the custom controls. However I have run into problems with binding to my custom datasource, and mapping the gridcolumnstyle to the necessary properties. My data structure consists of an ArrayList (acts as my table), which then contains a collection of further ArrayLists (my rows), which each contain a collection of my custom objects. The reason my data structure is composed this way that the size at compile time is unknown i.e not only could there be any number of rows, there could also be any number o ...Show All

• .NET Development XSLT problems with "cdata-section-elements" and "omit-xml-declaration"

  Hi All, Sorry, this is cross posted from the SQL server reporting services forum here: I'm using some xslt documents to transform the xml output of my reports in sql server 2005 reporting services, but have come across two curiosities where the xslt filter seems to behave unusually. Firstly, I need the final saved file to have an xml declaration, which I believe it should do by default. Even if I put omit-xml-declaration="no" in the xsl:output tag I don't get an xml declaration. At present we have a custom job that writes these declarations back into the xml after SRS has saved it. Secondly and more importantly, I need to have some of my output tags wrapped in CDATA sections. I've tried using the ...Show All
