• Visual Studio Express Editions Where does the .NET framework put programs?

  I wrote a small application in VB Express and installed it on my laptop which runs Windows ME. After installing the .NET framework the application loaded and ran ok. I'm reconciled to the fact that the .NET framework will have to be installed on all my client's computers (even though it took 20 minutes). But the code isn't located in the "Programs" folder. Is this normal Is there any way to have the installer put them there I want to distribute my application from one CD to run under Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. A few questions about XNA Game Studio Express

  I've read the press release, I've read the FAQs and I've visited the GarageGames.com website^^ I was very excited about that announcement from Microsoft since I'm a huge fan of C# and the .Net technology. Here are my questions: 1. Is the Visual C# 2005 Express needed or will the XNA Game Studio Express contain a own IDE build upon VC# 2. Are there any other "Indie" engines being ported to support the XNA Game Studio except Torque X 3. What file formats does the XNA pipeline support I read about .fbx, what other file formats (3D, textures, music, sounds, etc.). I'm hoping for .dds (texture wise) and .ogg, .wav (audio wise). 4. What tools does the XNA Game Studio Express contain (3D model converters, audio tools, etc ...Show All

• SQL Server Blank Error Messagebox Displayed at startup

  When I start SQL Server Management Studio an error message box with no text is displayed with the Exclamation ICON.  Everything seems to be working after clicking OK though.  Anyone else experienced this.  Also...  Why is it that I can't repair the installation from Add and Uninstall   Do I have to uninstall it to repair it The SQL 2005 is the Developer Addition with a new install...

• SQL Server Problems connecting to SSAS instance over HTTP in Excel 2003

  Our Biz users are all running Excel 2003, and we've recently set up a bunch of cubes that we'd like to open up to them. I followed the steps here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/httpasws.mspx to set up HTTP access to SSAS2005. It works great from my machine, I figured because I had SQL 05 installed locally and all the requisite drivers, etc. On our biz users' desktops, however, it wasn't as peachy. I first figured out I had to install MSXML6 and the SSAS 9.0 driver on their machine to connect to the cube. I downloaded those from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=d09c1d60-a13c-4479-9b91-9e8b9d835cdc&displaylang=en Once I was able to set up the connection to the cube, and abo ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) AJAX-like Data update in Loose XAML

  I am wondering if I can do this in loose XAML. I have a simple XAML file that implements a number of text displays, which are data bound to an XmlDataProvider.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Visual Studio 2003 hangs on Vista Build 5472

  If I try to use the "Find in Files" feature of VS 2003, it just hangs VS and you can only kill the process. This happens when you select search in Entire Solution or Current Project. Note: I have launched VS to run using Administrator. This did not happen on Vista Builds 5342 or 5308. Is there any workaround Thank you very much! I had to install XP just to use VS 2003. Now that this sorts out the find-in-files problem, it's working just fine for me now. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 1.) Lock/Unlock vs. SetData/GetData and 2.) predefined vertex formats

  Two points spring currently to my mind. Is there any reason besides simplicity not to use the common Lock/Unlock mechanics I would prefer the addition of this to the API. GetData/SetData canthe simply be mapped onto this. I have a large terrain, that I tesselate into the locked buffer directly... With this new scheme I have to build a temporary array and then copy over via SetData, same with textures. On the other hand, if we have to live with this, why do we have the managed pool anymore, kind of pointless! The other thing are the predefined vertex formats... Any reason to not expose the members directly and use setters and getters instead I don't see the point here too, this just forces us to create one intermediate result and copy oper ...Show All
