• Visual Studio Tools for Office Read Application Manifest Without Using ServerDocument

  Does anyone know how to read the application manifest from the currently opened document without using the ServerDocument class I know you can loop over all the Shapes in the document and until you encounter the shape with the ProgID "VSTO.RuntimeStorage.1". But then what do you do with that shape How can I extract the XML for the embedded application manifest Thanks in advance for any advice... I'm intrigued by this answer - I've been looking for a managed class to deal with IStorage - I had a feeling there would be something in VSTO - but the documentation is rather obscure - can I use the ServerDocument class to load any structured storage or is it specific to Office ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Out of video memory when I have plenty (128Mb)

  I've had several computers fail to create the DirectX device in full screen mode because of an "out of video memory" error. In two cases, the cards have 128Mb, and I'm sure it's not using even close to that much video memory (front buffer + 2 back buffers = 3*1440*900*4 = 14.8Mb (not even close to 128Mb). On one computer, I was able to solve the problem by lowering the DirectX quality settings from the control panel. On the other computer, that didn't solve the problem. I'm sure my program isn't requesting high quality settings (MultiSample = none, MultiSampleQuality = 0). Does anyone have any idea of why this would happen, or what I can do to fix the problem Thank you, Jeremy Blanc - The debug ...Show All

• Visual C++ Multithreading in C++

  Hi, I am learning multithreaded programming. I have a question with a hope someone can answer. I want to find distances between points using thread (Win MFC) Here are just an example of some points that I want to find the distance between them. For instance, p1 to p2, p3, p4, p5 p2 to p1, p3, p4, p5 p3 to p1, p2, p4, p5 p4 to p1, p2, p3, p5 p5 to p1, p2, p3, p4 with p1(x1, y1) = p1(42.67,73.75) p2(x2, y2) = p2 (61.22, 149.9) p3(x3, y3) = p3(30.27, 97.73) p4(x4, y4) = p4(35.18,101.83) p5(x5, y5) = p5(41.15, 104.87) using formular distance = square root (square (x2 - x1) + square (y2 - y1)) If I have many many more points than those five listed above, how can I do it using multithreaded and what is the best w ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Drawing a simple rectangle

  Hello - I'm trying to use XNA to draw a simple rectangle at the moment, using DrawIndexedPrimitives. I've tried tweaking and adding many different things but I can't even get anything to show, just the plain black screen (and yes, everything else like textures are rendering fine).

• .NET Development Reflecting parameters defined with the param keyword

  I'm having difficulties finding information on how to differentiate (via Reflection) between the following method signatures: void Foo(object[] arg); void Bar[params object[] arg); Is there a way of telling through Reflection if arg is defined with the params keyword or not Cheers! Sure there is. The params keyword is just a shortcut for the System.ParamArrayAttribute, so that's what you should look for (via ParameterInfo.GetCustomAttributes).   ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Second map channel in ModelProcessor

  I'm currently exporting some custom data in my own model processor. I get the vertex position from the first channel in geometry.Vertices.Channels and the uv coordinates from the second channel. I'm using the fbx file format saved out from MAX8. I want to export a second set of uv coordinates but can't seem to get them to come through. ie the number of geometry.Vertices.Channels is always two. I've tried using the specular and opacity channels in MAX for the second map channel but with no luck. The second texture referenced also doesn't seem to be exported. Is there any special channel I need to use or anything I'm missing I just upgraded to version 11 of the FBX plugin from version ...Show All

• .NET Development Data Access Layer - Design

  Hi I have been reading a few of the recent tutrials on 3 tier design (Data/Business/Presentation). In My database i have a customers table, employee tabel, supplier table and an address table which has either a customer, employee or supplier foreign key. In these tutorials it says that each database able should only be access by 1 data access layer class. If this is true then how is it possible with this database stucture, for example my Orders DAL needs to know about an address because each order has a billing, and send to address. But also my Customer DAL needs to know about address as each customer can have many address's Thanks lee Hi, It seems to me you are trying to have one DAL for each table If this is the case, t ...Show All
