• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Reading and Writing image "Rating" metadata

  I'm looking for a way to read and modify "Rating" metadata that Vista uses to rate image files. I'm able to read the rating although I noticed that the rating is written in several places in metadata... and I'm not sure which Vista is using... it looks like all of them are changed at the same time and are kept in sync... so do I have to modify all of them to keep them in sync /xmp/Rating / xmp/xap:Rating /app1/{uint=0}/{uint=18246} When I'm trying to modify the rating... nothing happens... I'm using this code Stream fileStream = new System.IO.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. AI Resources

  I'm reaching out to the XNA Community for some good (and free) information on Artificial Intelligence and/or pathfinding Anyone know any ...or if not free, some book recommendations I'm not well versed in game AI (just theoretical), but typically AI is given a fairly small CPU budget compared to rendering, the bulk of which is taken up by pathfinding algorithms (in games where that is applicable). I don't think game AI has progressed that much in the last 6 years. I'm not sure about the rest of the book however... ...Show All

• Windows Forms Master Detail in VS C# 2005 (Windows Application) !!!

  Hello everybody, Is there anyway I can set a Master/Detail relationship between my 2 tables on a windows form. I have already done it by filtering my detail table, but i am wondering if there is any way that VS C# does it for me automatically. Thanks, Mathew Hi Matthew, I haven't used that facility, but if you go to this site http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y8c0cxey.aspx there is a Walkthrough on how to do what you want. If that link doesn't work, go to the MSDN Visual Studio site and do a search for Master-Details Forms, which will find it. Chapter 4 of "Introducing Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 for Developers " also told how to do this. This book was available as an E- ...Show All

• SQL Server various isolation levels use in .net

  I am using .net and wish to use Com+ for transactional handling. I wish to know that if i wish to achieve optimistic concurrency in .net database transactions, which one of the isolcation level to use 1)readcommitted 2)readuncommited 3)repeatableread 4)serializable Also please let me know in which conditions should we use each of these isolation levels. Regards Your're really asking about transaction isolation here. Readcommitted will be your best choice in most cases. Readuncommitted will actually give you higher concurrency, but at the expense of saccrificing the data consistency and integrity guarantees that you normally expect from a database. It has its place, but you need to be ...Show All

• SQL Server Reporting Service Web Service from PowerBuilder 10.5 ...

  Has anyone implemented Reporting Service (Execution) Web Service from within Powerbuilder 10.5 I am trying to pass NULL value to the second argument of LoadReport function (to not get the History Snapshot) and the SOAP call gives an error message "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime". I could not pass Powerbuilder NULL (SetNull(StringColl) and StringCol passed as the snapshotID) value as the second argument to LoadReport as for some reason the Web Service could not be invoked. If I pass empty string (or 'NULL' string) I get the following error message. If I pass 'or '1900-01-01T00:00:00', then Reporting Service looks for a snapshot with this date and fails. Is there a way to send a string f ...Show All

• Visual C++ LNK 2019, inline functions

  I made a class in the header file class Foo { public: float area(float x, floaty); }; in the .cpp I tried #include "Foo.h" inline float Foo::area(float x, floaty) { //lot's and lot's and lot's of stuff . . return variable; } and I get... error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: float __thiscall Foo::area(float x, floaty)" If I take away the inline everything works. No, we don't want the code to be in the header. What am I doing wrong ( 2003 .NET) If you don't need an inlined function, don't add the "inline" keyword when you define it in your source file. If, however, you want the function to be considered for inlining, either: add "inline" ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Content pipeline design issues

  I LOVE the content pipeline, but while digging deep and creating a bunch of cool custom importers/processors/etc I found a few annoyances that I don't see clean solutions for. I was hoping some experts here or MSFTies could set me on the right path. My problem is with the content pipeline and it's files/types. I have two assemblies that I'm using, we'll call them Foo.Content and Foo.Content.Pipeline, with Foo.Content containing the types I use and the content readers, and Foo.Content.Pipeline containing the processors/writers/importers. Of course I have two versions of Foo.Content (one for Windows, Foo.Content.Windows, and one for the 360, Foo.Content.X360 - the 360 one has the files from the Windows folder linked in). I kind of lik ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System CA1019 DefineAccessorsForAttributeArguments and private setter

  Since C# 2.0, it is possible to restrict accessibility on property getters and setters. But FxCop’s rule ignores the restricted access to a property setter on a property corresponding to a positional attribute argument and advises to remove the setter, which is IMO unnecessary. [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property)] public sealed class MyPropertyAttribute : Attribute { public string Property { get { return property; } private set { property = value; } } private string property; public MyPropertyAttribute(string property) : base() { Property = property; } } Nice catch! I'll file this bug internally and you should see this fixed in the next version of Visual Studio/FxCop. Tha ...Show All
