• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What is the meaning of loadAllContent?

  I'm not sure I understand the meaning of the parameter loadAllContent to the function Game.LoadGraphicsContent. According to the documentation it is: "true if all graphics resources need to be loaded; false if only manual resources need to be loaded." But what are manual resources Thanks in advance, Per Rasmussen. As I understand it, resources uses memory on the graphics device. A wide variety of events can cause this memory to be lost. When you have a resource that is in Manual mode, you have to reinitialize the memory on the graphics card yourself. When it is in Automatic mode, the framework keeps a copy in system memory and automatically reinitializes the graphics card memory when it ...Show All

• .NET Development datagridview, stored procedure, and multiple rows

  I want to use a stored procedure to insert/edit/delete records in a dgv. I am used to handling one row at a time with a sproc. However, I do like the tableadapter.update being able to handle multiple records. I have been doing some digging around and the only thing I can find about using sprocs and dgv is looping through the rows, exec the sproc for each row. I don't want to use the update method because I have to generate a unique ID for the user, and I worry about conflicts. For instance, I could use the dvg DefaultValuesNeeded event, but multiple users will have the app open at one time, and here they tend to leave things open around here without committing thier work. Anyway, my question is: is there a way to pass multiple rows to a sp ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to print the paper, with the number of the copy?

  I need to distinguish between two copies of the same printed document. I'm using Me .PrintDocument1.PrinterSettings.Copies = 2 to print two copies, but I don't know how to print a 01/02 or a 02/02 at the botton of each page. And I can preview only one page at PrintPreviewDialog, as expected.

• Visual Studio Team System Development Project Plan marked as read-only

  We do have the problem that a project plan (*.mpp) can only be opened in read-write mode very rarely. Although no one of our team has the project plan open ms project states that the file is in use and therefore can be opened in read-only mode only. Even when one team member opens the file on his machine and closes it afterwords he can not open it again. The same behaviour is observed when the file is opende using sharepoint project home page. After some unpredictable timespan the file is not locked any more. Is this a known issue thomas Thanks for the reply! Since we did not find a predictable way to avoid the read-only behaviour: is there a conrete timespan someone has to wait for the release ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions data exists

  hi all im trying to find out how to see if a record exists in a database and returns true if it is there also in code how can i if it does exist add a value into where column name is "type" thanks in advance tim you could also use a DataView to perform your filter on the dataset, this would return you any records found within the dataset, which holds your records. Would this be something you would be interested in IF so... here is an example: Dim theDataView as new DataView(theDataSet.Tables(0)) theDataView.Filter = "field = value" if theDataView.Count > 0 then 'there are records matched end if you can also bind the results found to the datagridview: ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista SendInput()

  I wrote a program in C# (.Net 2) with VS2005 using P / I (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646310.aspx) to move the mouse and click. Under WinXp the app works fine. No problems. But when I start the program under Windows Vista x64 (Final) the mouse movement and clicking does not work. SendInput does not return any error. So it seems to be an Vista Issue. Some ideas how to get this running under Vista Are you trying to send input from a normal process to the window of an elevated process Or are both sender and target running at the same level ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) There can be at most one address per scheme in this collection.

  When hosting my .svc in IIS, I get the following error: This collection already contains an address with scheme http. There can be at most one address per scheme in this collection. I know this is caused by sites that have multiple bindings. In my case, I am a web hoster and have sites with multiple host headers per site. Is there any way to override this behavior in web.config I've tried the following with no effect: <host> <baseAddresses> <clear/> <add baseAddress=" http://mydomain.com " /> </baseAddresses> </host> Any ideas for how to make this work without forcing my customers to modify their source Thanks, Mark Maybe if I re-phra ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Startup Options

  Is there a way to stop a report from loading on open When we have reports with defaults set, the report loads on open. We would like it to wait until the "View Report" button is pressed.

• Windows Forms databound listbox

  I have 2 list boxes. Both are databound. I have an add button and remove button. when the add button is pressed the selected record should be moved from list box 1 to list box 2. When the remove button is presse the selected record should be moved from list box 2 to list 1. It works pretty well - unless one of the list boxes are empty then I have all sorts of problems adding the new row (no primary key, no columns, etc..)

• Windows Search Technologies WDS not returning results based on picture meta-tags

  I'm searching for pictures based on keywords and description tags but the only results I get back are pictures where the search words are only in the actual file name. I had installed JPEG iFilter; that didn't get the results I wanted so, having read which files WDS indexes and seeing that it indexed picture files using the meta-data, I uninstalled JPEG iFilter with the hope that WDS would get me the results I wanted but it doesn't. I've re-indexed a couple of times but that hasn't helped. Any ideas CAR JPGEG iFilter just indexes some metadata. To have access to all metadada I installed PixVue. However, as I already reported in this forum, the files indexed by PixVue don't show under "Picture ...Show All
