• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Could C# be the future of gaming?

  Since XNA is using C#, and is is a more intuitive language than C++, is it possible that in the future that C# will dominate, espessially in AAA titles.

• Windows Forms Bindingnavigator control can't add or delete the items.

  Hi, I have a binding navigator control with a form. The only problem is that i can't add or delete any data. What i don't understand is that it showed when i click the + button that it is adding the row as I can see the auto increment for the id field but once i input everything it can't be saved. I re run the application or look into the database and its not there. I have tried to use sever methods like Me .BindingContext(PamsDataSet.tbl_rsl).EndCurrentEdit() but no luck. I have also tried to put the addnew property of Navigator to none and then addnew from the code like this : Me .TblrslBindingSource.AddNew() but still no luck. Infact the new MSDN library for 2005 is no help at all. When i search something it brings ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Data Driven Unit Test question

  There has to be an easy way to do this but for some reason I cannot find it. We have 6 different responses that we are expecting back for the data we send. We want to be able to adjust the distribution between the responses so I have seperated the data into 6 different tables and created 6 methods. The problem is that if I use the Data Driven aproach in the samples it runs through all the data in the table every time the test runs. I only want one set of data each time but still want to go through each row before repeating. Is there a way to setup the DataSource/DataAccessMethod to grab only 1 new row each time the test is ran instead of grabbing all the rows Eventually we are going to be using a 32 client load for an 8 hour perio ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Service Broker vs MSMQ

  I'm in the process of doing the initial research for the architecture of a large scale, transactional messages routing platform. My initial design called for a series of MSMQ queues and Windows Services, written in C#, to process the messages in these queues. There will be incoming and outgoing queues, queues to store unroutable messages, etc. My application will be routing many hundreds of thousands (and eventually millions) of messages per day. These message are very small (< 200 bytes each) and must be routed very quickly. (<1 second processing overhead per message for high priority messages.) Using the term "routing" may be a bit misleading. The messages arrive via TCP socket connections. I will just need to take in a ...Show All
