Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Where is it?
I just downloaded xna after messing with c# for a while, and when I installed xna and clicked on the link in the start menu, it just went back to c#. My question is "Where is it " Was there something I missed Or am I doing something wrong Thanks for the support Game Studio Express is kind of like a plug-in for C# Express. You use C# Express to create XNA games along with the Game Studio Express parts. When you create a new project you'll see the options for Windows and 360 games. That's one of the GSE parts. ...Show All
.NET Development DataView bug in ADO.NET?
Hi, I have an application in which i think there is a bug with the DataView. It is when i am using Find() method. I add a new row to the DataView and when i use the Find() method with the Rows Id it returns -1. If i add a second row it will find the first row but not the second. This always happens, when using Find() for the last row added to the DataView i get -1 as the result. I have verified that the Id exists in the DataView. I also found some posts on forums that Find() only works if you have ApplyDefaultSort = true or if you are sorting by the primary key field, so i tried this but it is still not working. Has anyone had this error or does anyone know how to fix it Thanks ...Show All
SQL Server Error in SQL Server 2005 CLR Assembly
In the past we've days we've had an assembly that had worked previously which now fails with the error: Failed to open malformed assembly 'System.Data' with HRESULT 0x80070008. There have been no changes to the .NET framework at the server level, all other assemblies on the server continue to function and the assemly does work when deployed to another server. The assembly has been recreeated from scratch yet the error persisted. In another attempt to narrow down the cause we moved the system.data.dll to another server in an attempt to see if the particular DLL was the issue, however the other server had no issues. I'm assuming that the error we're getting has some cause other than with System.Data.dll.Does anyone have any ideas ...Show All
SQL Server Runtime errors in Send Mail Task - properties with expressions failing
I'm programmatically loading a package that was created with VS 2005. The last task in the package is a Send Mail Task. It has two properties, FileAttachments and ToLine, which are set to expressions whose values come directly from package variables. The package runs in debug and non-debug (under VS) correctly. However, when I run it programmatically, I'm getting the following errors: The result of the expression "@[User::ReportFileName]" on property "FileAttachments" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property. The result of the expression "@[User::ReportEmailAddress]" on property "ToLine" cannot be written to the property.

SQL Server Amazing
Hi everyone, I've got a dts 2000 which owns a Sql Task: werweuroweuroiweruewr DECLARE @CONTADOR BIGINT SET @CONTADOR = 0 WHILE @CONTADOR <= 100000 BEGIN INSERT INTO TABLA1 (ID,NOMBRE) VALUES(@CONTADOR,'PRUEBAS') SET @CONTADOR = @CONTADOR + 1 END 'werweuroweuroiweruewr' obviously doesn't exists in my database, but it's ignored 110 times.

Audio and Video Development Does iHD Simulator support the Network API?
I wanted to test some elements of the network API - specifically reading an xml document over http. Does the current iHDSimulator support this Also, how far away is the next release of the sim I think the current simulator's support is patchy at best. I'm afraid I don't have any news to report re: release dates of newer versions, but I have been working on networking code for a week or so now so by the time it ships I should have a pretty comprehensive set of content for my blog. ...Show All

Software Development for Windows Vista Setting Default Sound Device programmatically in Vista
Hi, In my application I need to set programmatically the default sound device (playback device), on XP there is a way changing the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Multimedia\Sound Mapper\Playback value, but on Vista this isn't working. Using the new Core Audio API there is no way to change the default sound device, only to get it with GetDefaultAudioEndpoint() method from IMMDeviceEnumerator interface. I tried to fiigure out which keys/values are changed in the registry when I manually change the default device. Actually there are 3 binary values changed "Role:0", "Role:1" and "Role:2" under the following key: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices\A ...Show All
SQL Server How to brute force delete subscriptions ?
Hello, I restored a huge ReportServer backup on a dev machine and I do not want the subscriptions and their jobs. I already changed the SMTP server address so emails will go to nowhere. Now What is the best sequence to get a rid of all subscriptions Delete records (or truncate) from the ReportServer.Subscriptions table then delete all the subscriptions jobs or the other way around BTY, a centralized management of subscriptions as well as stuffing all these jobs into a folder would be a welcome addition. Thanks, Philippe Igor Taranov -- MSFT wrote: Safest way would be using a simple script for deleting all subscriptions via DeleteSubscription() SOAP API and rs.exe. Thank you ...Show All

Software Development for Windows Vista Compiling Vista Icons in Resource Script (RC) files with Visual Studio?
Hello, I haven't been able to track down any information on this... I'm trying to compile a vista-style icon into a project that is using resource script (.rc) files, and when I do this I get the error: "RC2176: old DIB in filename. Pass it through SDKPAINT. An old format Device Independent Bitmap was found in the specified file. It should be converted to the current format. The SDKPAINT application provided in the Windows 3.0 SDK, or an equivalent application, can be used to do this." However, this error is apparently erroneous, due to the RC compiler tool not having been updated to handle Vista-style png-format icons; at least according to what little I have been able to track down: http://www. ...Show All
