• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rendering glitch

  I know im just overlooking something, but I spend so much time screwing around with the parsers, my brain has gone to mush! Please help. Ive written an ASE parser to work with the Mech Commander2 data. Thing is, although the vertices are exactly as from the ASE file, the rendering results sure arent! This is a snippet of the ASE from a cube sample. MESH_VERTEX_LIST { *MESH_VERTEX 0 0.623569 -0.907951 -4.038956 *MESH_VERTEX 1 1.486032 -0.760590 -2.240500 *MESH_VERTEX 2 -0.286734 -1.063480 -1.365539 *MESH_VERTEX 3 -1.149197 -1.210842 -3.163995 *MESH_VERTEX 4 0.286735 1.063480 -4.038959 *MESH_VERTEX 5 1.149197 1.210842 -2.240502 *MESH_VERTEX 6 -0.623570 0.907951 -1.365542 *MESH_VERTEX 7 -1.486032 0.760590 -3.163997 } *M ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to initialize a structure in VB and how to create an instance.

  Hi. I have 2 programs which are: a DLL in C and a VB application that uses DLL functions. Flow: The VB application calls the functions in the C DLL and also VB aplication passes some arguments to the functions of the C DLL. My Query: I have a structure whose pointer has to be passed as an argument to the DLL function.How can we initialize a structure in VB. Is there any way to pass the instance of the structure(for example in C we pass the pointer to the function to access all the members of the structure) Eagerly waiting for the reply. Thanks in Advance I'm assuming you just want to pass the same instance of the structure you're working on... I reccomend 2 things, either passing it as an Argument using ByRef ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office EPM remote Access

  Traditionally remote users used to access the company exchange server (mail server) over the internet using Outlook Web Access (OWA). Here the web browser is used and the functionality over the OWA was limited but functional. But if a rich functional access was required, the remote user opened a vpn access and virtually put his machine on the office network. He then proceeded to connect his MSoutlook to the exchange server as if he was local in the office network and got rich functionality. This was a source of concern from a security point of view as vpn access can be exploited. Microsoft today had as communication connector know as “rpc over http for Exchange” This connector helps remote users to connect MSoutlook to exchange ...Show All

• Windows Forms Trying to tell which item set off an event

  (Sorry if this is easy or impossible. I'm still reasonably new to C# and can't find this anywhere.) I have created a program containing something similiar to: PictureBox[] Images = new PictureBox[Total]; Images[0] = new PictureBox(); Images[0].Click += new EventHandler(Clicked_Click); The thing is that all Images created this way use the same EventHandler, as I can't give them all seperate ones because the value of the variable Total might change at some point. I want all Images to use the same EventHandler, but I only want the Image clicked upon to be affected when the click happens. So my question is: Is there a way to tell WHICH image was clicked on, or is there a better way to do this The value of sender is &q ...Show All

• SQL Server Creating a calculated measure that filters

  Hi, Can I create a calculated member that will filter out based on a certain dimension eg, I have a customer dimension and a sales cube. The sales cube has the sales count measure. Can I have a calculated measure that will give me the sales count for all customers that are flagged as 'New' That way, I have a total count and a New customer count. Thanks, Brian This should be very easy to do in MDX if you have attribute NewCustomer in the Customer dimension. The expression then would be something like (Measures.[Sales Count], Customer.NewCustomer.[true]) ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with UpdatePanel with Trigger, using MasterPage

  Hi all, I have a MasterPage with Calendar Control, and a content page with ListBox control. My plan is to have a post back on the ListBox, when the Calendar control "SelectionChanged" event fires.

• Visual Basic Program that scans text.

  I'm writing a program that searches web pages or documents for certain strings of text and returns them back to the user. I know there is a simple answer to this, but how do I do it Thanks. And to people who've answered my other questions, thanks for putting up with me. Basicly you can use the String.IndexOf() method to find one string within another. Exactly how you use this will depend on the results you need. For instance, following is a routine that returns an array of indexs within a string that are the starting points for a list of search terms: Private Function FindInString(ByVal stringToSearch As String, ByVal searchTerms() As String) As Integer() Dim idx As New List(Of Integer) ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Memory leak in COM Server when passing array data?

  Hi, I'm trying to investigate why calls to our VFP COM Server seems to leak memory and hopes somebody can explain what is wrong. When following the memory consumption on the COM Server process instance in the Windows Task Manager the 'Mem Usage' explodes. I've created a scenario involving VFP and VB that seems to reproduce the problem. I'm using VFP 9 SP1 and VB 2005 (as included in Visual Studio 2005 SP1). The VFP program is very simple: DEFINE CLASS ComServer AS CUSTOM OLEPUBLIC FUNCTION PassArray( theArray[] AS Variant @ ) AS Boolean RETURN .T. ENDFUNC ENDDEFINE It has been build as a Win32 COM Server executable (comserver.exe). Because I've building from inside VFP9SP1 the COM Server is registered automa ...Show All
