• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. The device does not support creating a texture of the given format with the given ResourceUsage

  Hello everyone. We've just started writing a PC game in XNA, and are progresing very quickly. However we're a bit concerned by the fact that the game started not to run on the artist's machine. Through installing VC#, we discovered basically it's failing to create a Texture2D with the following parameters: // Create the cache texture this.Texture = new Texture2D( graphicsDevice, 256, 256, 1, ResourceUsage.Dynamic, SurfaceFormat.Alpha8, ResourceManagementMode.Manual ); "The device does not support creating a texture of the given format with the given ResourceUsage" Or practically any parameters, truth be told.

• Visual Basic Access DB distribution

  Hi all. I have developed a simple VB.NET app that displays some data from an Access database. No updating, just reading the data. I want to distribute the db with the installation, I know how to include it in the user's application folder, but how do I make the app know where to look once it's installed (maybe |DataDirectory| ) I've been searching through other postings for a few days, but they all seem to be using VS 2005... Thanks for any help! P.S. I'm using Visual Studio 2003 Why not just use the file name if it's in the same directory: Dim ConnectionString As String ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=MyDB.mdb" ...Show All

• SQL Server How to right justify table field

  How do i right justify data in a nchar or nvarchar field e.g. now: 2bbb 3bbb desired : bbb2 bbb3 where bbb is either blank or null, not certain. I would appreciate any help Pauley hi Pauley, actually I'd not, as this only seems to me a "presentation/redering" problem that should be managed at the presentation level, thus your app... I'm asking: are you really sure you want to "pad" data on the right this could require handling query statements differently if your user just entries "2" instead of " 2" ... regards ...Show All

• SQL Server Does Windows 2003 Support Multiple Password Policies?

  We have a need to enforce a more stringent password policy for IDs that have elevated privileges or have access to sensitive data. Can more than one policy be created in Windows Server 2003 (one that expires every 90 days and another policy that expires every 180 days and requires more complexity) If this is possible, can SQL Server 2005 use these policies and how are SQL authenticated IDs tied to a specific policy This question was posted originally in a MSSQL 2005 forum ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=718231&SiteID=1 ) and it was suggested that I check a Windows forum for planned changes in this area. Thank you for your assistance. I think the user/replier mea ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't connect to local instance

  Hi, SQL Server 2005 Developer edition Windows XP Pro This is a new install on this laptop. Trying to connect to the Database Engine using management studio using either TCP/IP or named pipes but getting errors regarding the server refusing connection. I've Googled these errors and as far as I can see I made all the adjustments that I need to. TCP/IP An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

• Visual Studio Team System Success!

  I've been configuring (well trying to) security. somehow I've managed to disable the Source Control menu option under the Team project settings menu accress all projects. What have I done In my case it was indeed the fact that the user had files checked out on the machine on which I was trying to modify source control settings. As soon as I made sure that no files were checked out on the machine, the source control context menu re-appeared. Thanks for the tip. I would never have figured that one out. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Getting values from a checkbox and textbox together

  I have a form (Bulk_Add) with several checkboxes with a textbox next to each one. The user checks an appropriate checkbox and enters a value in the textbox next to it. On another form, I have the following function that gets the text of the checkbox if it is checked and places it in a cell in a datagridview (yellow highlighted line). Right now I am using a default value of "1" to go in another cell in the datagridview (red highlighted line). What I need to do is replace the red highlighted line with something that will grab the text of the textbox that is adjacent to the checked checkbox in which I am getting the text. I have set the tab stops to move from a checkbox to the corresponding textbox, then to the next checkbox and te ...Show All

• Visual Studio Debugging STL map container

  Hi, is it possible to see the contents of an entry of a variable of type map<K, T> without having to expand the variable and search for the key In the debugger we can't use the operator [] since the debugger says that it's an operator not found. (This happens to all STL containers, I think). Thank you. Someone has supplied this on the codeproject. It has worked for me so far.

• Visual Studio Team System Can you profile the System assemblies as part of an app

  I am profiling an application that references only the system assemblies and while I see the calls into the .Net Framework I do not get to see any calls deeper in the call stack for the .Net Framework. This makes sense to me because I am not instrumenting the .Net Framework assemblies. When I try to add the .Net Framework assemblies to be instrumented I get an error message that says: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\System.ServiceModel.dll has been signed. Instrumenting will break verification. Either turn off verification for this assembly or re-sign it in the post-instrumentation step. Press OK to attempt to profile anyway. I understand the post-instrumentation event is used to re-sign, b ...Show All
