• SQL Server SSRS to set display properties at Internet Exporer Level

  Hi All, I have report which correctly outputs the PDF Export as well as when it displays it in the Reporting Services it is correct. When it is deployed at the report server(IE) the view seems to differ a bit. As the report is a combination of Table adjacent to a matrix the IE view makes the Matrix move in the next line. Any thoughts on how can i control the display properties at the IE level only as the other views seems to be working fine. Regards, Vikram Hi , I have tried that but it seems to introduce an extra space between the table and the matrix as they need to be just adjacent to each other. Secondly do you have any idea if this is a limitation of RS to affect only th ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. your first game!

  Hi, just wanted to express my views on the 'my first game' section... guys, this is a waste of time. please don't do things like this in future. it explains nothing, it teaches nothing. it just lets me copy and past a load of code and then marvel at what the program does. you may as well just give us the file and say look what we did. It's not all negative. the tutorials on visualbasic express were wonderful. I couldn't believe at how insightful they were. is this done by the same people well thats my feelings on that anyway. if your gonna do any kind of tutorial, take some tips off the visual basic ones. and if your gonna ask us to copy and paste code, make it small chunks, and describe what the commands are doing. othe ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Inherited Custom Image Control...

  I've been trying all sorts of methods, searching Google, this forum, MSDN, etc. for successfully creating and using a custom Image class, inherited from the base Image class... public class SidebarIcon : Image { private string iconTitle_x; private string iconPath_x; public string iconTitle { get { return iconTitle_x; } set { iconTitle_x = value; } } ... } Now, going from there, or taking a totally different approach from making this simple custom control... I want to use it in XAML just like I can the Image class, but with those added properties, iconTitle, and iconPath. I've seen and tried samples all over like, <cc:SidebarIcon/>, etc. But ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Highly Optimized 2D Drawing

  With the trends in hardware today, would it be worth the effort to render groups of sprites to offscreen surfaces For instance, we have an gui window composed of 9 sprites (All stored in 1 image, and will be rendered in a batch). 5 Of these sprites will every need scaled or tiled to draw the window every frame. Assuming that during the gui windows lifetime it's size and appearance will remain relatively constant, we can render it to an offscreen surface. This would allow us to minimize the scaling and vertex buffer operations to a single blit in future redrawings of the window. Or is it best to constantly push new quads to the GPU for processing like the Spritebatch object currently does The constant pushing of quads would only requir ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Data Compare - Next Button Grayed Out

  Trying to a Data Compare. After I select my 2 data sources, I go to the next screen where I select the tables/views. I can select all tables or select individual tables, but no matter what I do the Next button is grayed out. Clicking the Finish button just closes the wizard without doing anything. What am I doing wrong I am running the initial CTP that was distributed at Tech Ed. Do you the tables you are comparing have a primary key constraint or an unique index present If not we can not compare the data, because there is no order in which we can compare the rows between the two tables or views. -GertD "DataDude" Development Manager ...Show All

  Hi, Are there any api in sqljdbc_auth.dll for impersonating java client instead of calling win32 api ImpersonateLoggedOnUser() and LogonUser() Thanks. Alexie, There is no impersonation built in into the integrated security dll. To do so would quite frankly be a large potential security vulnerability. Again feel free to fire up feedback bugs if there is a specific scenario that you are interested in that is currently not being enabled because of this limitation. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. SetMatrixCoefficients in XNA Game Studio Express 1.0

  Ok, I'm quite puzzled, I just moved my code up from Beta 2 to XNA Game Studio Express 1.0 but can't get my last line of code fixed. Where did Cue.SetMatrixCoefficients end up I'm using it to play a mono wav in a single channel. Is there a better way of doing this now Thanks Nic Well after much research, I discovered that 3D audio simply isn't supported in the 1.0 framework. This is quite sad news. Since I couldn't find a way of fixing this problem using XACT technology in my game, I ended up making duplicates of each sound (in stereo); one that only has sound in the left channel and the other in the right channel. All that's left is simply choising the appropriate Cue to play. Luckily I didn't re ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Validation and XAML

  I have a page with some textboxes on which participate in 2-way binding to an object. Some of the text-boxes are bound to integers and I have a ExceptionValidationRule to catch when the input is invalid. I want to disable a button when exceptions have occurred and am looking for a neat way to do this. Originally I envisaged having some sort of triggers on the button which would spot the exceptions and update it's style. I had problems around getting the static Validation object to play with Xaml though. So I decided to hook in an event handler to the .cs file using Validation.AddErrorHandler. This works in that it raises an event when validation fails allowing me to grey out my button, but there is no corresponding ValidationSuccessful eve ...Show All
