Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. to use interfaces or not to use interfaces (where ever possible) ?
I was wondering if its inefficient to use interfaces, considering you would want to squeeze every bit of performance from a game, interface calls are much slower than direct calls. regards Fluxtah yeh your right, they are only a little slower, I guess space war is not that complicated to warrant heavy use of interaces. ...Show All
SQL Server Encryption and bulk insert
Hello, I need to build a table with encrypted data with the source data coming from a .csv. The account number from the .csv will need to be encrypted in the final table and I will also need to have a hashed or MAC index on the account number. I'm guessing that I can do this with a stored procedure using a temp table to load the unedited data and then load the actual table from there. The table will be built from a download every evening. The key and certificate for the encryption are already set. I have been able to load data directly to the table providing values. But, I have been struggling getting a bulk insert to work. I'd appreciate any ideas or examples. Thanks! Thanks for your quick ...Show All

Visual C# Searching Text or Unicode strings
I would like to be able to take 1 file with entries, like: COMPARE FILE: _________________ siteone.com sitetwo.com sitethree.com _________________ And search a file for matches... But it seems like if I loop through each entry (siteone.com, sitetwo.com, etc.) it will take forever. How can I search contents of files to compare to see if there is a string of text in the file It needs to be quick because it will be searching tons of files... I could check with each loop, but then if there are 2000 entries in the compare file, and it takes 2 seconds for each compare, then that would be like 30 minutes per file... I am just throwing numbers out there, so I am sure it is a little quicker than that, but if I am doing 100 files a minute, ...Show All

Visual Studio Express Editions Using C# project+classes in a web application
I have VWD express and C# express. I have a solution written in VC# that contains several classes I wish to expose to a VWD web site project. Normally in VC# I would simply add a new project to the solution and add a reference, but since the web app isnt in the same solution as the c# project I can't do this. Is there a way to reference the c# project within my web site and have it automatically recompiled when I compile my web app, or do I need to manually compile my c# project into a dll which I then reference from the web app Thanks in advance! Hi, If your consider these classes as a 'library', it's better to keep them in a separate dll and add a reference to it. Otherwise you can al ...Show All

SQL Server Managing concurrency in Stored Proc with Timestamp
Hello all, I am trying to find the right way to get the correct error reported in a Stored Proc where the table contains a timestamp column. I gather the TSEqual is not the way to go (I'm using SQL Express, which uses Server 2005 syntax and TSEqual is deprecated). Within an update procedure, given an ID, a TimeStamp, and a new value, I would like to specifically know if the update fails because the record was not found or because the timestamp indicated that the record was previously updated. I can't figure out how to specifically raise the 532 error if the timestamps don't match, since I can't use RAISERROR. Any thoughts would be much appreciated Regards, Flavelle I think this is a good ...Show All
