• Visual Studio Express Editions where are templates?

  hi, where are templates of visual basic 2005 express edition (" file , new project ") can you , help me thanks If your talking about project templates. VB Express is limited to only a few types - windows app, console app, class library.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. KW exporter for 3dsMAX

  Greetings Mr. Watte Unfortunately I don't upgrade my 3dsMax version and still using the V6.0. Kw don't load on it, there is any chance of get a Version 6.0 enabled release Maybe a recompile Thank you! First, make sure that you have the latest DirectX redistributable installed. The version that comes with the exporter is unfortunately too old (so I'll have to re-build the installer with the latest). In the meanwhile, you can download the December 2006 DirectX from the Microsoft site. If the 8.0 version still doesn't load with your version 6.0 of max, there's not a whole lot I can do, because I don't have version 6 around to test with. I would recommend upgrading, or using the Panda exporter whic ...Show All

• SQL Server Where all the SQL Server Logs could be found

  I have two questions and would greatly appreciate any help on this from the experts. 1. Sql server 2005 Logs the information at many places, we are trying to consolidate them. So I would like to know all the sources from where I can get the SQL server logs without missing any log information. 2. I would also like to know, when we have a trace file (.trc), how can we convert them into a flat file without using Profiler UI utility. To be more specific, I have a situation where I have enabled C2 Auditing and as a result it generates a .trc file and I want to access it programmatically without using the profiler UI. I would like to know what are the other log information which C2 audit generated trace doesn't cover and where it could be ...Show All

• Visual C++ Running problem with a C++ executable (Debug build)

  Hi, I produced a debug build C++ executable program using MFC in VS 2005. The program runs perfectly with the computer in which it was created, but it can't run with other computers that don't have similar development environments but are equiped with all necessary dlls. An error message saying configuration is incorrect appears whenever the program is launched. MFC is set to be used in a shared dll in the program. To locate the reason that causes the problem, I blocked each possibly relevant environmental component in the system, such as .NET, Visual Studio, and directories containing libraries that were linked into the program. Despite these, the program runs normally in the computer where it was created. Should anybody have any ideas ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How much of a 3D engine will be included in the XNA Framework?

  In the DX samples there are the samples framework. Will that be built upon or will there be a separate 3D engine included or downloadable - What I am looking for is some kind of scene graph - Lighting and materials - Shader loader, constant setter etc. I am guessing since Torque are releasing their engine for this we will not see a full featured engine included but will there be an embryo that is more than the DX sample framework Regards Joachim Thanks for the information. That of course leads me to wonder more about the content pipeline. Are we talking the content pipeline in the more narrow sense like Effects files, shaders, maya x-file exporters etc Or are we talking in more gen ...Show All

• Windows Forms Customer Name in Registry

  I am using Visual Studio .Net 2003 Setup and Deployment Project I have a Standard Customer Screen in the User Interface Menu Can we save the Customer Information in Registry / .INI file TIA There's no real "guide" to all the public windows installer properties, those are dynamically created. We haven't written a doc for the ones the Visual Studio setup projects usually uses or creates. What you can do is run an installer with verbose logging, then view the properties used during the install. run: msiexec /i mysetup.msi /l*v mylog.txt Then, read mylog.txt and go to the end, the proerties and their values are listed. The ones Windows Installer always creates are documented at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Excel datasource problem - number format

  I have a web test that binds some Post Parameters to an Excel spreadsheet. I notice that some of the values read from the spreadsheet are set to "" (empty string) even though they have a value in the spreadsheet. Debugging the web test and looking at the spreadsheet it appears that the cells that are being read as "" are those with leading zeros. For example, here are 2 rows from my spreadsheet, the first row, second column will be read as "" (empty string) even though it has a value ( 0692189409). All other cells are read correctly. 106500804887 0692189409 81005 106500062973 5520163826 49255 It appears that the formatting of the cells is having some effect ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. debug drawing

  hrmm how are people handling not being able to draw lines Previously i've extensively used line drawing (in opengl at least) for debugging purposes, but now dx10 is all shader driven i cant do this can i what methods are you using for debug drawing currently i load up the opengl version of my engine to see debugging then load up the dx10 version to see what it looks like under dx10, but this is annoying :-/ I am not sure about what API feature you are talking here. Line drawing is still supported as primitive topology ( D3D10_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY_LINELIST and D3D10_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY_LINESTRIP) If you want to see the wireframe of your objects you have to create a second set of rasterizer sta ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Cannot delegate to VertexBuffer.SetData<T>

  I wanted to write a method that basically delegates a call to VertexBuffer.SetData. What I do is simply this: class MyDelegate { private VertexBuffer vertexBuffer; // Some init code public void MySetData<T>( T[] data ) { vertexBuffer.SetData<T>( data ); } } This does not compile and tells me: error CS0309: The type 'T' must be convertible to 'System.ValueType' in order to use it as parameter 'T' in the generic type or method 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.VertexBuffer.SetData<T>(T[])' This is fine I thought and added a where constraint to MySetData: public void MySetData<T>( T[] data ) where T : System.ValueType { However, this ends up with another error: error CS0702: Constraint cannot b ...Show All

• SQL Server Hw can the cube be modified after deployment?

  Hi, We used cube in our project. And the project is released to production environment. Now we need to modify the cube. Can anyone have any idea what are the ways we can handle this Appreciate any suggestion. Sachin! The third alternative is to connect online to the cube. In Visual Studio go to File -> Open -> Analysis Services Database, and you will end up making changes directly to the cube on the server without having to deploy the changes - just hitting Save will make the changes immediatelly. ...Show All
