Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Resource management
Hi, I was wondering if loadGraphicsContent can ever be called with loadAllContent=true except the very first time. The reason it's an important issue is that if it can, references can go dead, ex. if I load effect in Game1 and give it to object X, then Game1.loadGraphicsContent(true) is called and I have to reload effect, X's reference to effect is no longer any good. This can be solved with some simple indirection, but it would be nicer not to do that if it isn't necessary. I'm also curious if it's ever necessary to explicitly Dispose() a resource, such as a VertexBuffer, if it is created with ResourceManagementMode.Automatic, or if everything will be taken care of when it is garbage collected. Part of my concern is that I had a huge prob ...Show All
SQL Server Mutilple space gets converted to single space in Report Viewer Control
I am generating a Report from Sql Data Source in Sql Server 2005 and viewing the Report in Report viewer control of Visual Studio 2005. The data in the Data Source contains string with multiple spaces (for example “ Test String “) but when they get rendered in Report viewer control, multiple spaces gets converted to single space ” Test String “. I tried following solutions 1) Replacing spaces with “ ” 2) Inserting <pre> tag before the string and </pre> tag after the string (Also tried <Pre> instead of <pre>) But in all the cases result is same. The Report Viewer control is showing “ ” instead of space and “<Pre>” tag instead of preserving ...Show All
.NET Development Document/Literal Web Service with Simple Types?
I'm looking into the ASP.NET 2.0 ObjectDataSource. It looks like I can directly bind to the Web service proxy generated using wsdl.exe. But, my Web service is document/literal based and as such I'm using complex types, i.e.: //XSD < xs:element name = " EmployerInfoID " > < xs:complexType > < xs:sequence > < xs:element name = " EmployerID " type = " xs:int " /> </ xs:sequence > </ xs:complexType > </ xs:element > // WSDL < types > < xsd:schema > < xsd:import schemaLocation = " EmployerInfoRequest.xsd " namespace = " http://worksafebc.com/employerInfoIDDocument " id = " eiRequest ...Show All
Windows Networking Development Questions about QOSNotifyFlow
In the MSDN API , It says that the QOSNotifyFlow function registers the calling application to receive a notification about changes in network characteristics, such as congestion. But I have a question about how to receives the notification. Is is an event or anything else How do I receive such notification in the program Thanks fo any help... When you call QOSNotifyFlow, you pass one of the following operations: (i) QOSNotifyCongested, (ii) QOSNotifyUncongested, (iii) QOSNotifyAvailable. If you were to call this function without specifying an overlapped parameter, it would return when the selected operation occurs. For example, if you were to specify QOSNotifyCongested as the operation, the ...Show All

Visual C++ Custom Dll with MFC linked
Hello people! Now i have this tricky task: I would like to create a regular dll, but with MFC statically linked and initialized, to use the MFC classes. BUT the MFC library provides it's own DllMain. How can i override the MFC's DllMain, while still linked to MFC The reason i want to do that is that CWinApp doesn't give me an opportunity to handle the THREAD_ATTACH and THREAD_DETACH events. I DID IT But this was tough if you are interested, here is the code: BOOL WINAPI MyDllMain(HANDLE hDllHandle, DWORD dwReason, LPVOID lpreserved ) { BOOL retcode = TRUE; __try { if ( dwReason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH || dwReason == DLL_THREAD_ATTACH ) { if ( _pRawDllMain ) retcode = (*_pRawDllMain ...Show All

trying to write a custom rule for pascal case checking for VS integrated code analysis. The tokenizer provided in SDK is not working as expected. Any reference to any library that will help in splitting a compound word(as used in pascal/camel format) would be highly appreciated. Girish, We are aware that TokenizeCompoundWord does not tokenize some tokens correctly, and have since replaced it with a new WordParser class in vNext of Visual Studio/FxCop.

Software Development for Windows Vista DirectShowLib
I am using DirectShowLib C#, I want to know which class in DirectShowLib is Equivalent to IAMCameraControl or ICameraControl Hi Eman, I took a quick look at the Interfaces.txt file that came with DirectShowLib and in the (Untested/deprecated...etc) interfaces I found the IAMCameraControl. In order to use it in DirectShowLib, you need to compile the DirectShowLib library with the conditional compilation symbols: "ALLOW_UNTESTED_STRUCTS;ALLOW_UNTESTED_INTERFACES" After that the IAMCameraControl interface is accessable in the Library. As for the ICameraControl, I have no idea where it is :). I hope this was of help. Regards, Fadi ...Show All
