• Visual Studio Property Group being redefined in Target

  Hi. We are using MSBUILD for our build where the version control tool is Surround. I see a MSBUILD target file, where in a Property group is defined <X> with details to configure surround like the login, server, branch details etc. However I see the surround configuration being redefined in a separate Target where each of the properties defined in the earlier Property groups are reused and the output is another property name <X>. Can anyone please help me to understand why is this for. Why cant the earlier Property group be used for this purpose. Why is it needed to be redefined in a separate Target Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks Kumar nayak wrote: Why is it needed to be ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista why is my application getting elevated?

  Hi, Strangely, even though i don't include "requiredAdministrater" in manifest file, it gets elevated. The executable file name doesn't contain any of setup, install or any of those words that vista uses for heuristic detection. Where else should I check to prevent elevation I'm using visual studio 2005 sp1. Thanks in advance. A pplication gets the Elevation Prompt, if the application tries to access(read/write) any RegKeys/Files which require administrator privileges. Please run your application through "Application Verifier Tool", This says that Which file/Regkey access needs the administrator privileges.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Memory Leak?

  Heya, I've been working on this 2d game for about a month and a half. A space shooter with a ton of animations. But thats not the problem the problem is recently as the amount of Images has increased I've noticed that the memory usage never stops going up as the game progresses. I know there is some kind of flaw or redundancy in the way i store textures now since the release of beta2 and the content manager. However What would cause memory to keep adding up until the game begins to stutter The structure for storing textures was done before the content manager so it is just a Dictionary class that loads and gets textures loaded via the content manager. The UnloadGraphicsContent method in the game unloads the content mana ...Show All

• .NET Development Failure in background thread is not terminating my application

How do I properly debug in this scenario except for attaching in VS to running process So you do start that thread and give it a thread function to execute.
