Software Development for Windows Vista HBMMENU_CALLBACK in vista
The following code always failed in Windows Vista (Beta 2 Build 5384). It is deemed a completely legimite code and works fine in Windows 2000, XP.

Visual Studio SSMS and VSIP
Does anyone know if VSIP addins can be integrated into Sql Server Management Studio There is a "Packages" key under the main SSMS registry key, and if you register your package there, SSMS appears to read those keys (using regmon to see this). If yes, then how do I request a Package Load Key for SSMS The PLK request page only has Visual Studio in the dropdown for which IDE to support. Any help is appreciated... ~Steve Hi Steve, I also think so, because the SQL Server Management Studio and VSIP/VS SDK are unrelated. I am sure that internally the SQL Server Management Studio uses IDE technology borrowed from VS (not only the toolbars, which in turn are borrowed from Office) but all ...Show All

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Integrating Joystick
Hello, I am fairly new to the .NET platform and currently using VB.NET to read joystick input. I am using DirectX 8 and following a reference I found on MSDN. However, this piece of code is generating a run time. EventHandle = inp_device.CreateEvent( Me ) EventHandle of type long, inp_device is of type DxVBLibA.DirectX8. The exception generated reads as follows: Cannot cast windowsApplication1.joystick_controller to a DirectXEvent8 object. I would appreciate any direction in this matter. Thank you, Nath I'm really susprised you could find good DX8 documentation. You should be using ManagedDirectX 1.0 or XNA (which is the only other managed alternative). Right now though XNA is only supported with ...Show All

Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Video features in WPF/E
I'm not that familiar with WMV but is it possible to have: Cuepoints e.g. events dispatched from a video and Alpha channel support e.g. transparent backgrounds in video. Or if WMV doesn't support this, are there plans to support this or introduce a new format etc Additionally, with the curent Windows Media browser plug-in you can have full screen video (I think), how would WPF/E change this e.g. will WPF/E have a fullscreen option as well Thanks We are investigating cue points and alpha channel support for inclusion in a future CTP or version of WPF/E. We are currently integrating support for full screen playback and that should be ready in a CTP sometime in Q107. Joe ...Show All
SQL Server Understanding Building and deployment
#1 Anyone seen any good BLOGs on building solutions and what occurs BOL is pretty thin in this area. Does it just spin through all the projects in the solution, validate them, copy the packages to their respective \bin folder, and add them to the manifest #2 I have a solution that encompasses multiple projects which all have multiple packages. I'm ready to build a deployment utility. The first problem I'm encountering is that each package uses the same configuration file to set some properties, and when I go to BUILD, for each package, its trying to copy the file and failing with the error below. #3 In my main workflow package, I'm using execute package tasks by file locations that exist in a hierarchy.

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Managers vs Services vs Components
Hi All I'll start by saying that I'm really enthused by XNA and think that it's a *wonderful* thing. My $99 is on its way (OK, not quite yet). But is anyone else confused by XNA's use of the terms Manager, Service and Component I've done a little digging around before creating this post and can't see anything definitive on what these terms actually mean. Here's my attempt: Service: a singleton-type object, potentially useful to many objects within a game and accessible through the singleton Game object. The singleton Game object is typically passed to the constructor of any interested object and that object typically holds a reference to Game. Manager: an object used to manage the lifetime of other objects (e.g. ContentManager ...Show All
