• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vertex Buffers, draw methods and associated nonsense...

  Hi all, Standard preamble, new to this, having a go at c# and XNA for the first time, having a blast, absolutely sterling job by the devs, etc. I'm playing around, drawing primitives and the like. Currently, I've got a little bit of code that I use to draw a grid on the screen. Pretty simple. A Line class, and a LineManager class. Now, it works, but it's obviously horrendously inefficient. It's like an idiots first day at coding school, I know. I've got objects re-instantiated inside loops and all sorts. So after compilation I see my grid, all well and good, but because of the horrendous inefficiency I presume I'm falling afoul of the GC, getting a regular stutter every second or so. The problem, it seems to me, is the createLine() called ...Show All

• .NET Development SQLDataReader.GetOrdinal() fails rarely with IndexOutOfRange

  Hi everybody, We were developed some Web-Services that run against SQL Server 2000 with SQLDataReader that executing Stored Procedures in the DB. Most of time (95%) everything is running well, but sometimes (when exactly, we don't know) the same WebService that worked 200 times, fail. The code is simple:         public string myFunction( int ANumber )         {             string strRetVal = null ;             SqlDataReader myReader = null ;             SqlConnection MyConn = null ;             ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) xbap database application

  Hello, does xbap allowed us to make database management applications where database located on different server, i have tried with database interaction with xbap but i got error like 'Request for the permission on type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission'' failed. can anybody help me with this. regards, vijay prajapati Vijay, it is important to understand the difference between a client technology and a server technology. Comparing XBAPs with ASP.NET seems like comparing apples to wrenches. It would be more productive to discuss how the client component of ASP.NET i.e. HTML/Javascript fares in the same scenario. And there too, as I understand it, browsers do not allow you to make cross-domain requests willy ...Show All

• Visual C# documentcomplete event

  I've got a really weird problem with my application; it works on some pc's, and it doesn't on some others. What I've got: A Visual C# 2005 console application with references to MSHTML and SHDOCVW. I use mshtml to get a list of currently open browser windows, and attach events to it to edit the list when a new browser window is created or closed. I attach a documentComplete event to each open browser window and handle it the event there (let's say it prints out the url where is navigated to). So when I run this program, it should detect when I open a new browser window, when I close one, and it should print out the url of a site when it is done loading it. And there's my problem. On a few pc's, it all works perfectly. But o ...Show All

• SQL Server Custom Data Mining Functions

  I would like to write a custom mining function, which takes a string, queries the database, and returns an answer based upon those queries. So the basic function is then: [MiningFunction("Performs Foo")] public string Foo(string param) { // process parameters // query database // calculate answer from query results // return query results } And is executed from the client using: SELECT Foo("X Y Z") FROM FooModel This arrangement is so that resource-intensive calculations are performed server-side. My question is: what is the preferrable method for executing the database query from within the custom mining function Yes, this is helpful. I'm looking at the ...Show All
