• Visual Studio Setting working folder with subfolders

  VSS v. 8. Working folders can sometimes get out of whack, if you change development directories on your machine, make a mistake, or whatever reason. The first time you set a working folder on a folder in VSS, it "takes" for all subfolders as well. However if you set a working folder for a subfolder, there seems to be no way to go back to a root folder and reset the working folder and have it "take" for all subfolders as well. At this point, you have to go into each subfolder to change it, which could be enormously tedious. Any way around this thx I was able to fix the problem by going into the ss.ini file for my user name and deleting all the entries of the form [...] Dir ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Layered Windows mouse event bug

  Hello! My customer reported a bug in my software about Layered Windows in Vista. This string from the Platform SDK is not working when Aero Theme is enabled (red text is not working): Hit testing of a layered window is based on the shape and transparency of the window. This means that the areas of the window that are color-keyed or whose alpha value is zero will let the mouse messages through . So, the fully transparent parts of my window are not transparent for mouse events now! It worked fine in Windows 2000, XP, 2003, XP x64. Now stops working in Vista :-( It also does not update the window content when a layered window is resizing. When the old Win95-style theme is used, the program working fine. How to be ! ...Show All

• SQL Server Replication Monitor SqlServerCE

  I have developed a smart device application using SqlServerCE that replicates data to the backend server. I need to provide to the user a status of this replication process. I read about the "MergeSubscriberMonitor" in SQL Server but can't find it in SqlServerCe. Is this possible Can someone please point me in the right direction You need to wait for synchronisation to finish and then you can query to MergeReplication object to report on the data transferred. If you were using SQLMobile (the CE version for SQL 2005), there is messaging available that will give you progress updates. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. No ID3DX10Line?

  I do not see any documentation for a D3D 10 version of ID3DXLine. Granted the DX9 ID3DXLine interface is a complete joke -- both in performance and quality, at least there is a way to get a few stylized lines in the 3D view. While games don't use stylized wireframe, this is a cornerstone for profession graphics packages (e.g., modelling and drafting). Current hardware supports accurately rendered, deterministic zbuffered, accelerated lines with widths up to 5 pixels wide. Common screen space dash patterns are sufficient for 90% of all display purposes. There are also several hidden line algorithms that only function correctly if the wide lines are rendered with correctly depth buffered Bressenham step patterns. Until Direct3D provides acce ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team projects placed in folders

  Currently in our development environment using VSS we have the following structure: $\ Databases Documentation Legacy Projects Folder1 Project Project Project Folder2 In this structure the Project best equates to a Team Project. We currently have VSS laid out just as the folder structure on the drive. We’d like to keep this structure going forward with TFS. This provides us a way to organize each of the team projects and the source control. Also it prevents every developer having to create a workspace and set up the root of the folders for every project/folder in the workspace set up. ...Show All

• SQL Server Time Intelligence and Rollups by Unary Operator

  Can somebody tell me if a parent child hierarchy that has a unary operator will be calculated _prior_ to vanilla-style time intelligence It seems that a query that includes both types of calculations (like a YTD period sum) will be run for a length of time that is proportional to the number of periods. (The reason I ask is because I thought I read somewhere that rollups by unary operator always happen _last_ but this doesn't appear true.) In AS2K we used NON-parent-child dimensions that had unary operators in them. Those suckers were blazingly fast because aggregations could be built all the way up the hierarchy. Unfortunately MS killed that feature and now we're stuck with aggregations that are only built at the dimension key. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to get vga device emulation

  none of the shortcuts emulate a hidpi device, i.e. vga. i created my own shortcut using the command line args, set video to 480x640x16 and it gave a vga screen, but it was not 'hidpi', it was the same as running sevga on a true vga device, i.e. not what the user normally sees. anyone got proper emulation of a wm2003se vga device I'm looking for the same thing: Windows Mobile 5.0 VGA images for the standalone emulator (either v1 or v2 CTP) ( without any Visual Studio ). Haven't found it yet, I guess it doesn't exist... By the way, that's a shame that the Localized Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Emulator Images aren't working with the standalone emulator. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Availability of console SDKs

  Hello, I know that this question might be a bit off-topic in this forum, but I think this is the best place to get the answer. I've always been wondering, why the SDKs for gaming consoles are only available to large companies which are charged large fees for the SDKs. I mean: Shouldn't it be in the interest of the console publisher to make it possible to develop games for it for as many people as possible, considering that every game increases the popularity of the console So, I'd be thankful if someone could explain this situation to me. Regards Opfer Well, I can guarantee you that at least one developer won't be going that route! ...Show All

  Hi, I have upgraded vc5 ATL server DLL to vc8 and vb5 client to vb6. I have a VC8 Atl server dll that I would like to fire an event to then be used by VB6 using the With Events keyword.
