• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) TextBlock versus Label

  What is the difference When to use one versus the other Unlike Label, a TextBlock element can do ... Thank you in advance for your help. Pradeep Label uses less resources than textblock and offers not all the features in TextBlock. if you want to add text label to a textbox, etc then I guess Label is the way to go. if you want to display some text(paragraph, etc) then Textblock is the way to go ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Humorous but somewhat serious question about XNA

  Microsoft has claimed the Nintendo Wii as a "kids toy;" however, if XNA can produce graphics and push performance up to what the Wii is capable of handling (games like Half-Life, Sims 2 from most XNA performance claims), does that mean that XNA is a kids toy too redshock wrote: Edit: I'm going to go ahead and use XNA. Sure, it may not be the fastest thing in the world for making games such as Oblivion, but if it's any company that can boost performance heavily in later versions, it's Microsoft. It has already been seen with DirectX and DOS, so I'm comfortable enough to say why not. Version 1's are usually "out the door" products. I shouldn't speculate too quickly, but it'll do the jo ...Show All

• SQL Server Excel 2007 Compatibility with ProClarity 6.2

  When installing the ProClarity plugin for excel, it prompts that it looks for Office 2000 and greater.. I currently have Office 2007. To go over this I installed Excel 2003 along with my 2007 installation. Do you have an idea how to use the plugin over Excel 2007 I do not know if this is good enough but you do not need ProClarity's Excel export(Business Reporter),plugin, tool. You can connect directly to SSAS2005 from Excel 2007. The future of this ProClarity plug-in is questionable. Edit: I understand that a 6.3 release of ProClarity Analytics will be delivered soon. This is the last version. After that you will see ProClarity in Performance Point Analytics. Regards Thomas Ivarsson ...Show All

• .NET Development ReflectionOnlyLoad into a separate AppDomain?

  Sorry to be redundant, but I'm creating a new thread which describes the outstanding remaining problem described by the earlier post: Can ReflectionOnlyLoad be applied to load an assembly into a separate temporary AppDomain I like the idea of ReflectionOnlyLoad, but if the loaded assemblies linger in memory as long as the app is running then it's not so appealing. (normally you can just call the 'Load' method on a temporary AppDomain object and unload that AppDomain object when done reflecting, but 'ReflectionOnlyLoad' is unfortunately not a method of the AppDomain class).

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) web services

  Hello, am I correct to understand that there is no .NET framework integration yet I am wondering what support for calling web services there will be in v1 release. The usage I am thinking for WPF/E is to have XAML+C# as a complete front-end, using no javascript, and talking to backend web services. Does this sound like a reasonable usage that will be well-supported and is a goal for the WPF/E initiative To me it does not look like the December CTP supports this. Thanks, Brad Williams Going forward we plan to support the scenario you articulate using a slimmed down .NET Framework version. This CTP does not have that funcionality. Nevertheless, you can use ASP.NET and ASP.NET AJAX in conjunction wit ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Clarification regarding EULA and Legacy ps_1_x Compiling

  According to the docs found in the December SDK for the page "D3DXSHADER Flags" in order to enable compiling via D3DX of HLSL ps_1_x profiles, we must include d3dx_31.dll in our distribution. To the best of my knowledge, the EULA forbid redistributing D3DX DLL files. This is based on the discussion on the DXDev mailing list a while back. What is the solution for this -Pat Let's re-phrase it: docs actually mean what DirectX redist included with you application should contain (and install) d3dx9_31.dll. There is an article in SDK documentation describing how to prepare slimmed version of DX redist suited for your app needs. ...Show All
