• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Beta 1 & Beta 2 Together

  Hi - I've been distributing a small compiled demo of an XNA game and I've run into the problem that if the end-user has both beta 1 redist & beta 2 redist installed, even though I'm referencing the beta 2 DLLs, the program automatically references (or does something) with the beta 1 DLLs. Is this unsolvable, or is there any way to fix this Thanks in advance... Fair enough - thanks for the answer. Weird that it automatically references the previous version, but oh well it's not like most people will have have 2 versions installed (end-users that is). ...Show All

• Windows Forms Mouse Location Problem

  Hello, I'm on a project, something like a mini-photoshop. I've done the basic stuff like opening the picture, drawing lines, using a pencil etc. well, I made a control that I see the position of the mouse with its X and Y coordinates as a MouseMove Event. But now I see that it just makes the program work really slow (I see its bad effect when I'm using a Pencil tool for drawing. It draws slower than it used to do when I didn't have the mouse coordinates as a mouse event.) Can you suggest something for this the code is: (visual c#) private void pictureBox1_MouseMove( object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {      form1pcm.toolStripTextBox1.Text = e.X.ToString();      form1p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I disable resizing in applications?

  I want to disable the ability to resize or maximize my applications. What code do I put in the program, and under what class (form load, etc.) Thanks To set a form as not resizeable set the BorderStyle ( FormBorderStyle ) to something appropriate: to display a non-resizeable form it would be set to FixedDialog . The 'resize' border on a form will not show, hinting that it isn't a resizable form: this is important for accessability reasons. ...Show All
