• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Some questions about directx transform

  I am a beginner on directx transform. I have some questions about it. 1. The MSDN mentioned that there is a tool named DXETool.exe, but I can not find it under VS directory. is it out of date 2. I find some codes( http://www.sworks.com/keng/da/multimedia/dtrans/c++/dxetool/ ), but it can not be compiled. There are lot of compile error in afxcomctl32.h, for example, Error 1 error C2059: syntax error : '__stdcall' d:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\atlmfc\include\afxcomctl32.h 295 Can anyone give me some help to fix it 3. I installed the lasted DirectX, but I found there is no any content about directx transform. This confused me, if I want to go further on directx transform, which material I should read. can som ...Show All

• SQL Server Database is read-only.

  Hi I have been learning on how to use the new features of the .NET 2.0, and Well I using VS2005 and everything is pretty straight foward. I did a Membership webform where you log in and create users and roles etc. I installed the SQL Server 2005 express as my Data provider and thats where my Tables are.

Anyway my problem started when i decided to copy my project to my IIS server and well when I run the app from the Browser tells me that he Database It's set to Read-Omly and therefore it cant update it.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. About MDX and XNA.

  I heard that MDX2.0 was killed by XNA. That's the full story I thought MDX2.0 is part of XNA. I am a getting concerned because I like MDX and I don't want to see the end of it this early. Also I heard XNA does not support all the features that a MDX can do. Please, fill me in. MDX 2.0 was the base for what is now knows as the XNA framework. You are right that there are still things that were supported with MDX that did not make it in XNA Framework Version 1.0. But as XNA will be improved in the future there is a high possibility that some features will have a come back. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Digitally signed exe gets runtime error when launched on Vista...

  ...but when the digital signature is removed the exe is launched properly. According to Microsofts requirements for the "Certified for Windows Vista" certification all dlls, exes etc must be signed with a digital signature. We use a signature from VeriTest to sign our installation msi's according to the specifications for the "Designed for Windows XP" logo. When I sign our exe (a C++ application, not the msi) with that signature and try to launch it on Windows Vista, I get a runtime error. Has anyone ever experience a similar behavior If so, how did you solve it Thanks!! /Niklas Hi Niklas, I'm going through the certification process at the moment. We are using ClickOnce and C# but I may ...Show All

• Windows Forms Both DataSource and DataSourceID are defined in Gridview1

  By the way you guys in this C Forum ROCK. Other forums may take weeks or months before you get an answer. I have a problem using C# on a ASp.NET site. I have a Table Adapter with two queries. 1 to return all projects and the other to return projects on ProjectID parameter.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Installing C# Express Edition After VS2003/VS2005

  I waited till the last minute to install C# Express, but I wanted to point out that the download page is potentially confusing. Yes, it says beta versions must be uninstalled, but immediately following it says that any previous versions of SQL Server 2005, VS2005 need to be uninstalled. The good news is that it will install without issue, but I wanted to post this as a recommendation to change the text. Uninstall beta versions Before installing, you must uninstall any previous versions of SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, and the .NET Framework 2.0 (this includes Tech Preview, Beta, or CTP versions). I was wondering about that myself. I currently have a complete install of VS2005, since I have been using C++ for devel ...Show All

• SQL Server A view based on a parameter

  Hello. After upsizing an access mdb backend to SQL Server 2005, some of the access frontend queries need rewriting. One of my Access queries contains several joined tables (tables that used to live on users local c drive) and also references the value of a form control as its where criteria. When this is run against linked sql tables it is very slow. So I thought I would use a view to represent the joined tables and link to that in Access, but views don't allow you to pass parameters. How do I create a view that I can link to in my access front end whose contents will vary based on a passed parameter from Access I am OK at vba coding so I can call to this object in code if necessary. The recordsource needs to be updateable. ...Show All
