  I have been reading about consuming web services with javascript and it seems every example uses an htc file to accomplish this. Does this work the same way with gadgets I tried searching the forum but no results for htc. If anyone has an example that does this I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance! Ok, I figured it out.. I didn't realize that any private members could not be used with web services! By removing the get return sequence and just setting the public string values it works perfectly! ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Summing up hours on form based on parameter query

  Hi there - im finalising my new activity system but i have one issue. on an activity form i have certain fields for information purposes that are non editable - they are 'hours worked with client' , 'hours worked this month' and 'hours worked for the day'. The first 2 fields are populated automatically by opening recordsets on form load or companyname exit and summing up the hours based on the relevant query where the criteria ensures that the query is already populated. However for the 'hours worked for the day' field the query is a parameter query (qrytodayhours) where activitydate = Forms![frmactivity]![activitydate] and i was then hoping to enter the following code to sum up the hours using a recordset on the on exit of the acti ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How can I start the XBox360 development progress?

  Hi, In the company, I'm working for a great xb360 game now. Also I want to develop my own smart games for xb360. There are so many xb360 kits and other xb360-related hardware resources in my company but I can't use them for my business. So the question is: How can I get/buy the XBox 360 kit machine I can't see them opening up native development and C++ on the 360 without the $$ becuase of the way the console games are handled financially. The Console manufacturer has to control that process. Also there is a lot more security risk allowing this. We may see C++/CLR happen in Game Studio express at some point but it will all be managed code to allow security control. You can request this on the connect website for XNA http://forum ...Show All
