Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. waiting for a sound to finish
Hi, I'm all new to this & there is probably a simple solution.. I'm wanting to play a sound and trigger an event or callback when that sound has finished playing. Do I need to check the status of the sound in each Update or is there a more elegant way Many thanks, Pat XACT supports notifications for this. Check out the IXACTEngine::RegisterNotification method and the associated XACT_NOTIFICATION_DESCRIPTION structure. (Note that this functionality is not available in XNA). ...Show All

Windows Forms Adapter.Fill fails with No Selection Rights.
Im using an informix driver and having an issue when I try to change the connection string. Setting up a data source with the tables and adapters, I have only been able to use a DSN that I have created using the ODBC Manager. When you do the setup, it wants to save the ConnectionString. But it saves it to the Application.Connection String which is impossible to change.(Maybe I wrong) Everything works great until I try to get rid of my UID and PWD. The Adapter.Fill fails with No Selection Permissions. What am I missing DataSet ds = new DataSet(); OdbcDataAdapter daAccountInfo = new OdbcDataAdapter(); OdbcConnection connection = new OdbcConnection(myConnString + myLoginPWD); try { this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor; ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX Or OpenGL?
Why DirectX Is Better Than Open GL Hassan Ayoub wrote: Why DirectX Is Better Than Open GL This typically devolves intro a "troll" conversation, so let me nip it here:Asking this kind of question on a Microsoft-hosted forum probably won't get you the answers you want (or need). Andy "Zman" Dunn's response was the most-accurate, actually. However, if you want to read about similar conversations (and believe me, this question is asked OFTEN -- just do a search), I recommend visiting www.gamedev.net and discussing it in their general forums. ...Show All

Visual Studio Tools for Office Is it possible to have an application-level plug-in continue to run after closing the active document?
The subject says it all: Is it possible to have an application-level plug-in continue to run after closing the active document Essentially, what is happening is that I want to take a document and save it as an html file, then close it to do some manipulation of the .htm file, and then re-open the original word document. Unfortunately, everything stops once I close the document. I can understand this behavior on a document-level plug-in, but is there any way to continue executing code with an application-level plug-in This would make my life so much easier.... Thanks in advance for your input. Hi, What do you mean by continue to run after closing the document Application level addin basically sits in you ...Show All

.NET Development Why does the String CompareTo method return inconsistent results?
Does this make sense Why "*".CompareTo("A") -1 "*A".CompareTo("A") -1 //ok. compares as less than, both times. "_".CompareTo("A") -1 "_A".CompareTo("A") -1 //ok. same results... "-".CompareTo("A") -1 "-A".CompareTo("A") 1 //what ! inconsistent results... why This is causing problems in our application, because the sorting on the DataGridView is unpredictable, and the users of the application are complaining. I can't think of any reasoning that would explain these CompareTo results. Any ideas BTW I found more results j ...Show All
SQL Server Null ParameterValue
Ok, seems like this should be a quick and easy one, but I can't find any info anywhere. How do I pass a ParameterValue to the Render method that represents a Null parameter Is this enough ParameterValue[] parameters = new ParameterValue[1]; ParameterValue nullParam = new ParameterValue(); nullParam.Name = "SomeParam"; nullParam.Value = "NULL"; parameters[0] = nullParam; .. then set up everything else we need to call ReportingServices.Render...

Visual C# Inheriting App.config from Referenced Class Libraries
I have a Windows Application Project called Foo that has a reference to a Class Library Project called Bar. I created separate App.config files in each project as I want to keep settings specific to Foo separate from that of Bar. After compiling, App.config in the Debug/Release folder only contains settings for Foo. I have considered using a .settings file instead, but the .settings file isn't updatable at run-time (there is no XML file to alter like that of App.config). Is it possible to inherit the App.config settings from Bar to Foo Or have more than one App.config files hi, first of all what version of .net do you use if you use .net 2.0 you can check this thread about how to use settings http ...Show All
SQL Server How Do I Sort the objects in the Integrated Source Safe
I manage a team of developers and we are using SQL Server Management Studio v9.00.2047.00 I have created a Solution and we've been adding stored procedures and are using Source Safe integration as well. We have discovered that the objects (stored procedure in this case) are not sorted by name when you pull up the solution explorer. This is unacceptable when you have over a hundred stored procedures and you need to find one quickly to edit and check back in. Is there some configuration I don't know about (undocumented or what have you) to enable the objects to be sorted by default I truly appreciate any help. We may have to abandon our approach because of the frustration factor. Bret Williams This has been logged as a bu ...Show All
