• Community Chat Hottest Technology for webdesign

  Hi guys, I am looking to make my first website. I know about dreamweaver and frontpage, but what other web-building software is there that's really popular and can get the job done well Anything free Thanks, Cyan I use Dreamweaver just because its structured really well. I have used Frontpage and MSVWD and MSVWD is not structured very well, and it isnt the best tool out there for web developing unless your coding in ASP. Dreamweaver supports everything and sometimes has good templates instead of having to type like <a href="http://microsoft.com/">Microsoft</a>, you can just go to the toolbar and make one from that, very good for beginners.

• Visual Studio Team System why does it create wrong tmp files?

  Hi Why does tfsbuild creates tmp files of some C projects When using tfsbuild it creates a new project file abc.tmp_release_win32.vcproj for my porject called abc.vcproj And it uses that file for compile, but it creates some wrong paths for my lib files. so it fails when I try to build. I can build the abc.vcproj using cmdline and msbuild. But how do I prevent tfsbuild from creating a tmp file or at least make the paths correct inside the tmp file Regards Kim Hi Aaron Thanks it helped me to see where it goes wrong. It seems that my C project, when using tfsbuild, looks in the lib projects OutDir and not using the lib or libpath environment variables. I’m using the /useen ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Publishing

  I've noticed that when try the install for a game on any computer but my own, it doesn't work. I had all 3 of the files that it produces on the floppy, but it still didn't work. All of the other computers had the 2.0 service update, but it still didn't work. Do they have to have XNA to Make sure the end users are updating their comptuers with the latest DirectX libraries (december 2006). Chances are, they aren't, so run the file below to double check and install.

• Visual Basic Information on working with services

  Hello, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for writing a wrapper app that interacts with a service we're developing. All I'm looking for is a general management program akin to the way Microsoft SQL Service Manager works with the MSSQLSERVER instance, although a more in-depth look at interaction with services would greatly tickle my interest as well. For now, however, just simple syntax on how to start, stop, check the status, etc. of a service would be wonderful. I was wondering if it is possible to use the Site member of ServiceController/ServiceBase class to set the parameters for exchanging between the ServiceController and Service itself. MSMQ seems like a overkill. My ide ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System What should a project represent for Web Development

  Folks: I could use a little help here. The company I work for is currently planning on migrating to using TFS. However, something just doesn't fit in my head. Of course, I don't have anything installed yet so I am just going by seminars and books we have read. We have two major ASP.NET websites that we manage. These sites are constantly changing. We are constantly fixing bugs and making enhancements. Some of these fixes take 30 seconds to make. Some take a month to do. My question is - what would normally constitute a project in this scenario. Do we create global projects for each website where we continually add bugs and work items to, and then individual "sub-projects". Or do we create a separate project everytime we ...Show All

• Visual C# generic parameter overloading

  Hey guys! First I'm not entirely sure if this goes into this forum, never the less. I'm wondering why not allow code as the following: public I MyFunc<I>(I param) where I : Interface1 { } public I MyFunc<I>(I param) where I: Interface2 { } As far as I can see this would work exactly as function overloading with the arguments: public void MyFunc(Interface1 param) { } public void MyFunc(Interface2 param) { } This seems to be a matter of the compiler, as it doesn't seem to be impossible to incorporate into a future version of the compiler. Similar to how java does it. Hi, bilsa   bilsa wrote: public I MyFunc<I>(I param)   where I : Interface1 { } public I MyFunc<I>(I param)   ...Show All
