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
Visual Studio Unhandled exception trying to view windows form
In a C# Windows application in VS 2005, I'm simply double-clicking a form in Solution Explorer to view it, however, it always prompts me to check the form out.

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Enterprise UDDI Services and a SQL 2k Cluster?
Hello All, I have a couple of UDDI Services questions here. In the document "Enterprise UDDI Services: An introduction Evaluating, Planning, Deploying, and Operating UDDI Services" there is mention of using multiple Web servers to connect to a single database instance. What is not mentioned is whether the reverse is supported. Can I have a single UDDI instance connect to a SQL 2000 Cluster Specifically, how does the UDDI service behave in the event of one node failing over to another If I have a box die and I need to put up another box in its place and I have backups of the DB, can I simply install UDDI on the new box, restore my DB's, and redirect the App tier to the new box What's the best practice ...Show All

SQL Server Trouble setting-up witness.
Not sure where I am going wrong ... I am able to set-up the mirroring , but the witness set-up always fails.

SharePoint Products and Technologies Changing applicaiton pool account
A mistake was made during setup and an actual user account was used for the application pool acount. If I simply go to SharePoint application pool and change the identity to Network Service the SharePoint web site show "Cannot connect to the configuration database." How can it be changed now Which account should be used for administration application pool Your help is appreciated. You should run the application pool with a user account - create a system user (for example sys-SharePointAppPool) and use it for the application pool. But since that account needs access to the databases, you should also go into SQL and give it security permissions to the database manually. ...Show All

Visual Basic How to Find last record in a database
How can I find the last record (row) in a database I am developing a VB 2005 program that must read a sql database and find the last record so I can retrieve the last "Batch Number" used. This will then be incremented and the new "Batch" record will be inserted into the database. I can't find a SQL command that will work except to read each record until the EOF. Can this be done Thanks, Ron you could use: SELECT TOP 1 [PKfieldName ] FROM [tableName ] ORDER BY [ PKFieldName] DESC Then to read it use the SqlDataReader to read the result returned: Dim theLastRecordNumber as Integer = -1 Dim theSQLCommand as new SqlCommand("SELECT TOP 1 [PKfieldName ] FROM [tab ...Show All
Visual Basic Determine if a Registry key is writable
Greetings, Is there a way to determine if a particular registry key is writable by a user The program which I'm developing needs to write to HKLM area and I wish to make sure that the currently logged-on user has the permissions to modify/write to a specified branch (HKLM\Software\MyBranch).

Internet Explorer Development IE7: Img control NOT allowed to view local files???
Hi, I have an image preview function (in javascript) that allows the user to view an image before it is uploaded to the web site. I use the standard upload control (type="file") which- when set by browsing to an image- is used to determine the image path on the user's local machine. For some reason IE7 refuses to display the image. This works in IE6. I have to admit that this did not work in FireFox so maybe there is some standards incompatibility that is involved. code is : var path=up.value; // 'up'is the upload control img.src=path; // 'img' is the image control I've tried various ways to modify the local path with file:/// and file://localhost/ but nothing seems to work. Any one know Thanks! Jack ...Show All
