• Software Development for Windows Vista Self-updating application

  I'm hoping someone here can give me ideas, or at least point me in the right direction. Our application (under XP) is capable of downloading and installing updates to itself. An XML manifest is stored on the server, which outlines all the updated files. However, since the format of this file might need to change over time, the application itself isn't qualified to read this file. Instead, it uses a DLL. The DLL is always up to date (i.e. able to read the file manifest) because the application first downloads the latest version of the DLL from the server. It then invokes code in the DLL, which processes the manifest, creates a list of files that need to actually be downloaded, and returns control to the application. Next, ...Show All

In the C# I have a property defined as... public double opac = 0.5; In the XAML I have a DataTemplate defined and I want to bind to the above property like this... <Rectangle Opacity="{..bind it here..}" /> I've tried making it a dependency property but I get an error when I put the following code into the C#... public double opac { get { return (double)GetValue(opacProperty); } set { SetValue(opacProperty, value); } } // Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for opac. This enables animation, styling, binding, etc... public static re ...Show All

• SQL Server how can i select numeric columns only?

  hi all, how can i select numeric (int, money, numeric, etc) columns only from syscolumns. i need to run a sum() aggregate on all numeric columns thanks, joey Good catch. At some point, it might just be easier to explicitly list the types. A not null precision is supposed to indicate numeric, but it includes datetime and char ( ). The test for xtype = xusertype eliminates the user defined types. There are only 25 total, so making an explicit list would not be difficult. The test for precision only eliminates 3 types. Using xprec and prec helps. Here's another cut: Select * from systypes where xtype = xusertype and xprec is not null and prec is not null And collation is null and name not like '%time%' and nam ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Chart scaling in WPF

  Hi together, I have got a chart line (e.g. a sinus) which is presented as a WPF polyline object. Now I have a canvas object where I want to put that line on. canvas1.Children.Add(myPolyline); Now the sinus is shown on the canvas, but only a small (little) curve on the canvas. Is there a way to scale that polyline so that it fits on the whole canvas Do I have to calculate that transformation by myself or is there any support in the WPF. Any help would be great. Cheers, Franz I'm not so sure, but I think that when you state BrushThickness you can set something like "1px", if you can, zooming wouldn't affect size... Tell me if this works. Cheers! ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Draw Fonts into a Texture?

  Hey all, First, thanks to those who created XNA...I'm one with lots of ideas, not a lot of time to get my head around the finer points of DirectX - this is for me. Can't wait to play this stuff on my 360. To the point -- I'm building a varient on Asteroids for my kid and want to put a score up onto the screen. I'm gathering from the docs I've read (and the stuff I've tried that doesn't appear to work) that there's no easy way to just "myFont.DrawText(myTexture,"Hi there!",100,100,Color.White)" and have it just work I assume that I'll have to fire up my PhotoProg, find some font I like, turn each of the numbers 0-9 into a .dds and fire them onto the screen as textures If that's the case, is anybody putting li ...Show All

• SQL Server Price Aggregation Question

  Hi all, I have a cube that has time, product, and location hierarchies. I also have the retail price for every transaction at the leaf level. I am having trouble writing the mdx to get the aggregation the way I need them. In the time dimension, at the non-leaf level, i want the last retail price of the children in the time. ie: if I am at the quarter level, i want to show the price of period 3. In both the Product and Location dimensions, I want the retail price to be averaged at the non-leaf levels such as Product category and Zip code. I don't really know what the right approach is to make this happen, any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Wino... Hi Wino, Based on my understan ...Show All
