Hi all... I have a SQL connection that is being made in the following format: Data Source=%?server% This is just a plain string that is passed to a SqlConnection object. Can anyone tell me what the %? is for? My guess is an environment variable, but as I said.. It's a guess... Thanks...

Is there a way to retrieve the [user]\Local Settings\Application data directory through cmd.exe (environment vars, etc.)? ----------------------------------------------- "The night sky over the planet Krikkit is the least interesting sight in the entire universe." -Hitch Hiker's Guide To The...

Hi all, I'm sure there's an easy way of doing this... Is there an Win32 API call to get the path to the application data directory? (i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\dbrecht\Local Settings\Application Data\...) Thanks in advance. ----------------------------------------------- "The night sky...

Hi all, I'm writing a .dll for a 3rd party application. Is there a way to get the absolute path to the .dll (not the application)? Thanks ----------------------------------------------- "The night sky over the planet Krikkit is the least interesting sight in the entire universe." -Hitch...

Hey all, I'm just about complete an inital design for my new personal site... I'm strictly looking for design feedback (colors, layout, etc.) as design is my weakest point. The site will be flash (ok, go ahead and flame me for it ;)) and the pic will be a video... Please don't pay attention to...

Hey all, I'm assuming this can be done with the system("cmd") call or something like that.. Only problem is, how to I then turn around and get the handle to that window, or output text to it? I'm assuming it's something pretty straightforward that I'm missing...

Hey all, Just looking for an explanation of how and why this works: const char* foo = "123"; int n = foo[ 0 ] - '0'; // resulting in the int value 1 Now, I understand that C++ will do auto type-casting 'n stuff like in the following example: const int n = 3; const float m = 1.1; const int...

Hi all, I'm in the midst of researching for a project that I'd like to tackle... I'm wanting to use OpenGL or DirectX to display random images (perhaps using fractal geometry or something of the sort) using Fourier transforms (real-time audio frequency analysis). Now, I'm not wanting to write...

I feel a little sheepish about asking this question, but let's say I have a doc that says something I need is at memory address 0400:0130h... How do you go about converting that into hex so that you can declare a pointer something like: unsigned char* pMemLoc = (unsigned char*)0x06000000...

Ok... This question may seem a little basic, but it's something that's been eating away at me for a little while... When implementing a linked list, most tutorials on that interweb thing show a list's node structure something like the following: struct Node { int data; Node * next...

Alright... I'm a little confused (..not to mention tired, which may be a driving factor behind my not being able to easily figure this out right now..), but how would you go about doing this (using only c-runtime stuff... no stl or anything please!): I'm reading the following from a file: FA...

Looking for comments about unfinished site... Couple notes: the logo isn't completed yet and it's hosted on my home machine - REALLY slow upstream so pls bare with it. http://www.baselinespub.com/ http://tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1168934&page=1 was my post regarding the layout... Thanks...

So I'm doing a website... (who isn't? ;)) and I'm trying to decide whether or not to use runtime shared components (using AS 2.0) I really like the modularity aspect of the shared components, but here's a couple problems that I've come across while using them - hopefully somebody else here has...

Hey all, I'm not a graphic artist, so I appreciate any help and/or suggestions. I just have a .png of the base site template and I'm looking for any feedback on the logo and the template graphic. http://demianbrecht.com/sites/main.png Thanks in advance, AtomicChip...

Aiight... A question involving good 'ole data structs (...and nested classes, as the title there would hint ;)) Let's say I have a class DoubleLinkedList. Within that class, I have a nested class (Iterator). I want to keep this as close to the STL implementation as possible (this is a lot more...

Hi all, I'm not entirely new to C++ programming, but I'm not entirely familiar with compiler processes 'n stuff either... I've been told that there are downfalls to using the STL in game programming - what are these downfalls? Memory overhead? Footprint size? Or do these only really apply when...

Ok, I'm having real difficulties with which splash page to go with (it's just a "coming soon" splash right now, but I'll be using it as my site's actual splash page): http://demianbrecht.com http://demianbrecht.com/index2.aspx The first one is a design I did last week. Since then, I've decided...

Hey all, Please feel free to tear it apart (it's my personal site) ;) It's not totally completed yet, just looking for look 'n feel feedback. http://www.demianbrecht.com ----------------------------------------------- www.liquidfuzion.com "The night sky over the planet Krikkit is the least...

Just a quick FYI for all internet developers out there- Cookie manipulation (up to this point) to my knowledge has been a tougher task than the average user is up to. What I mean by cookie manipulation is editing existing cookie values. For example, let's say that once a user has logged in...

Hello all, I have recently encountered what looks like a memory leak within SQL server, but may be a number of other things as well - I'm hoping that some of you may have encountered this problem as well so I may be able to narrow down my list of possible culprits. I noticed this morning...
