• SQL Server SQL 2000 SP4 and SQL 2005

  Is it possible to have 2 SQL servers differents in the same machine I need to continue to use a DB on 2000 for an old services on BI and start to use SQL2005 for a new application and all in my laptop in order to be able to use them every where. Thanks The only issue you might hit is if you are running Analysis Services on your SQL 2000 install. This component cannot run side-by-side with SQL 2000/2005 and must be upgraded. As for the database engine and any existing instances, they'll run fine side-by-side. Thanks, Sam Lester (MSFT) ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to Deploy Files to a Sub-Directory?

  Hi all, i am testing a WinCE application that i wrote by deploying it in the WinCE emulator. This application uses a number of bitmap (BMP) files, and they are deployed by setting their Build Action as "Content". How can i have the BMP files deployed to a sub-directory instead of the main application directory E.g. My application is deployed to "/Program Files/TestApp/" on the emulator, and all the content files are deployed to that same location. However, as i have quite a large number of bitmap files, i would like to deploy those to a "/Program Files/TestApp/bmp/" instead. i could not find a configuration to specify where to deploy a certain file to. Any advice, please (Oh BTW, i'm using MS Visual Studio . ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Texture diffusing...

  Hi all - my question is how can I get textures when drawn not to diffuse. This happens when the destination rectangle is bigger than the source rectangle - instead I just wnat to "magnify" the image...stretching the texture out horizontlaly, vertically, or both. With everything I try I either get diffusion (i.e. the image fades as it is stretched, making it semi-transparent), or I get pure black. :S Please tell me what I need to do if possible - thanks very much. Alex Do you really need code It's just a simple texture loading... TextureLoader.FromFile("filename.bmp") and using SpriteBatch.Draw2D(...) with the source rectangle set to whatever I want. :) Anyway thanks for your reply. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Reading CSV data from a byte array

  I'm writing a C++/CLI (vs2005) app and would like to read in CSV data from a byte array. Is there any .Net classes that I should be using to read the CSV data If not, what are my options initialize a DataSet object with proper column definitions, use a reg expression to read each line into a new rowset object and then add the row to the DataSet, loop through all the lines in the CSV to fill up the DataSet. I did this in C# in the past. C++/CLI should be no different. just a reminder: when reading byte array, you might want to decode it first (instead of assuming it's all ascii). ...Show All
