• Visual Studio Integrating msdn may 2006 with Visual Studio 2003

  Hello. I've just downloaded and installed msdn may 2006 edition and I read the note that says this edition doesn't integrate with VS 2003 .net by default. So Is there a way to force integration Any help really appreciated. Hello Basel Al Khateeb, There is no force integration but you can use May 2006 library within VS 2003 IDE by following these steps: open VS 2003 go to Tools > Options > Environment > Help In Preferred Collection drop down you will see MSDN library for Visual Studio 2005. Select that and hit OK Close VS 2003 when prompted and open VS 2003 again. Now the Help will appear from May 2006 Library in VS 2003 but this library does not contain the documentation for VS 2003. Thanks ...Show All

• SQL Server Validation issues

I have set delay validation on for this task, yet it still seems that it is trying to validate it. Any suggestions Thanks. Thanks for the reply Yes i have setup a config file to use. I have just tried to reproduce this error in all possible ways that is why i used the dtexec as well. As said before, the only time if fails is when in a job that uses the pac ...Show All

• Visual C# c# and .mdb files

  I am working on a project that I will be using Microsoft Access to store data. When I package this software, is there a Microsoft Runtime I can inclide that will allow other users to use my software without having Microsoft Access Installed Hopefully that is clear enough. My software uses Microsoft access but if a user does not have Access or a runtime they will not be able to use my software.

• Visual Studio How to use ReportViewer with multiple reports?

  Hello, I'm wondering if it is possible to use ReportViewer with multiple reports, that is, I have one ReportViewer control and I want to to switch the report that is displayed based on user input. I have tried setting the LocalReport.ReportPath prop but all I get is a blank report. The report datasource is the same for all the reports. Any sample code available showing how to do this Thank you! Do something like this: private void ExecuteReport(DataTable theDT, string theReportName, string theRptDataSetName, ReportParameter[] theParams) { ReportViewer1.Reset(); //if your report has a subreport if(theReportName == "RptName.rdlc") { //register the subrpt. event handler for these reports Re ...Show All

• .NET Development Performance in DotNet remoting

  Hi, Application: We have developed a DotNet Remoting application which acts as a server to Calculate analytics. This server takes inputs from different client applications and respond with the analytics. This server is run on a "Single-call" mode so that each request is created independently for scalability. In some scenarios the requests from the client are sent parallely using different threads to speed up the process. Also, this remoting server uses some third party libraries for calculations which takes a longer time to compute the analytics and these libraries do not support multi-threading. Problem Statement: - Keeping number of users and different requests, Request / Response volume is very high. There are case ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Multithreading an XNA game

  Can anyone give me a start I've read and seen all about multithreading (presentations from Gamerfest, Gamasutra, looked at code from C#). But nothing really soaks in till you try it yourself and rewatch/reread everything. What I want to know is how to do it with XNA What do I thread and how do I thread it To test it out I wanted to build 2 programs, one single threaded and one multithreaded. Then I would run timing and FPS tests to see how significantly better I could make the multithreaded version could be. I was thinking something simple like 100 (or tons more) bouncing balls of varying colors. I am currently dedicating myself to learning mulithreading to a level of understanding where I could use it to thread a 3d RPG. Any help is ap ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Input

  How can u add joystick, and trigger input. I can do all of the other buttons, except for them. They seem to have to have something diferent. For joystick, you can do Vector2 leftStick = GamePad .GetState(PlayerIndex.One ).ThumbSticks.Left; where leftStick.X is the horizontal movement of the stick, and leftStick.Y is the vertical movement. For the triggers, float rTrigger = GamePad .GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Triggers.Right; rTigger will be a value from 0.0 to 1.0. 0.0 means the button is not being pressed, 1.0 means the trigger is being pressed all the way down. Any value in between corresponds to a level of press. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to grant time?

  Sleep(); Wait(); Slerp() -- lol I was trying to make the Game class work for me but I ran in to some problems. My basic flow is to: Instantiate my main class, allowing the constructor to set up non-error-prone data members Call Init(), which initializes the class’ environment, including the Device and Content Manger (without content being loaded). Execute Run(), which creates a Splash screen and depending on input either starts the game or exits. Incidentally, when returning from a game the Run loop will redisplay the splash screen again – unless of course an Exit is requested. At each step, the classes can load and draw when they see fit since the GraphicsDevice is already establish ...Show All

• SQL Server Is the "Custom Report Item Sample" still included in SQL Reporting Services 2005?

  Here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms160911.aspx I read that this sample is included, however when I install the samples the other three are in the "Extension Samples" directory but the "Custom Report Item Sample" is missing. Can anybody please tell me where I can find it Thank you! Many thanks for your reply, Robert! I believe we first spoke about a custom report item sample back in May 2005 (see original thread here ) although the readme.txt of the example was created on 12/01/2006. Anyhow, despite the wait I'm very pleased to be able to see a working example of a custom report item that can be added to the report toolbox and dragged onto the report design surface!
