• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. soundBank.GetCue("xxx").IsPlaying - does it work?

  Does anyone know if the .IsPlaying value works properly I would assume that the code I wrote below would cause the computer to play the sound only if another one is not already playing, but it still goes too fast for my taste for ( int i = 0; i < ammo;) { if (!soundBank.GetCue( "click" ).IsPlaying) { score += 25; soundBank.GetCue( "click" ).Play(); Draw(); i++; } } Jason Olson wrote: George is correct. When you call GetCue() on the SoundBank, a new Cue object is returned each time. So, in your example above, the call to GetCue() for IsPlaying is returning a different Cue object then the call to GetCue() for Play(). However, each call to Get ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Adding OnClick event to Polylines

  I have successfully added the OnClick event to my Pushpins based upon the example provided. I now want to do the same for Polylines. Before I waste time thinking about this, has anyone already done it If so, can you give me an example Thanks much...Steve Yeah a floating div is just a container that you can position over the map anywhere you like. Inside that container I have label which works for me but obviously not you. VE just got a few upgrades and a noticed that local.live.com lets you click on polylines and the new polygons. So we need someone from the local live team to help us out. Hey Caleb! - any chance on sharing on how we do this And how we do the very cool edit mode with the nodes We wo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Event Handlers and Raiseevent issues

  Hi, I seem to be missing something here!! I am looking at the process of Event driven coding and I am a bit confused. If I understand it correctly all I need to do is: 1) Within the form that will raise the event declare the event with the event key word and raise the event Public Class Form2 Public Event xevent() Sub raiseevents() RaiseEvent xevent() End Sub End Class Within form1 create an instance of form2 with the withevents keyword Public Class Form1 Dim WithEvents eclass As New Form2 Private Sub eclass_xevent() Handles eclass.xevent MsgBox( "test" ) End Sub End Class The issue I have is the above only works if I call the form2 raiseevents ...Show All

• Visual C# Using Enum as Index

  If I have an enum such as public enum Test { One = 1, Two, Three } I want to be able to add a value based on the enumerated type such as: MyValue[Test.One] = 17; I would also like to keep ot strongly typesd so MyValue[1] = 17; is invalid. Is this possible within C# OK if I had public enum Test { One = 1, Two = 2, Hundred = 100 } The array would be 3 elements so I could not use MyValues[(int)Test.Hundred] = 17; It also is not strongly typed, I could still implement MyValues[2] = 17; which I want to disallow or at least check ...Show All

• Visual C++ First-chance exception... access violation... debugger winds up in malloc

  Hello all, I keep getting an exception whenever calling 'new'. I'm implementing the singleton function and I have a static * p initialized to NULL. When the 'getInstance' method is called, if the static * p is still initialized to NULL, I call p = new P(); At that point I get a First-chance exception ... access violation message and my debugger tells me the problem is in this function: void * __cdecl _malloc_base (size_t size) { void *res = _nh_malloc_base(size, _newmode); RTCCALLBACK(_RTC_Allocate_hook, (res, size, 0)); return res; } at the line "void *res = _nh_malloc_size...." My program stops running at this point as well. I have error messages that will print just before the new call, but not at the beginning of the constructor ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Doubt with my class library projects in SDM files

  Hi, I was designing my app, but I don't know how modeling in my sdm file a class library project should I I mean, I have a DB, a WebService and a Win App, but between the DB and WebService I have a class library project for example dataAccess. Another doubt is how should (or could), I modelmy project if I have my entire project in differents solutions, for example, In 1 solution I have my Webservice and my webclient in the other I have my winclient and in the other I have a windows service client. Thanks an advance, Roy I would recommend that you keep your existing solutions and project structure for general development work and then create a new solution that encompasses all of the projects that you can use for modeli ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Video on WPF

  I can't see videos on WPF aplications. When I build and run, the videos simply don't appear. I have installed the Windows SDK RC1 , the .NET Framework 3.0 RC1 , and the Visual Studio "Orcas" Extensions for .NET Framework 3.0 RC1 , and don't know what I am missing that would enable me to integrate videos on my aplications. Any solution or help will be welcome. I had a problem like that, when I was running WMP11, went back to 10 and all my media worked. edit: you beat me by secounds I was told that they are going to fix this. As it is, distributing a app with video is more miss than hit. 9 and 11 don't work. only wmp 10 works. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System sotre.query gives more columns then specified in SELECT

  Hi, I'm new to TFS and trying to get all work items for a project in a gridview in asp.net. My code: query = "SELECT [System.Id], [System.Title], [System.AssignedTo], [System.CreatedDate], [System.CreatedBy], [System.State], [Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Severity] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = @project ORDER BY [System.Id]"; return store.Query(query, parameters); when I put the resulting workitemcollection as datasource in a datagridview I get 27 columns instead of the 7 I've specified in the select. Funny thing is that I do get different results (less rows) when I adjust the where statement but even if I select just 1 field (System.Title for example) I get 27 columns. Thanks, kip Yes, as I tri ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Per-application customization of Favorite Links

  Hi, In Windows2003 and older, the common dialog for OpenFile display 5 place-icons in the tray. The list was customizable with some hacks (per-user by adding registry keys and per-application through the use of RegOverridePredefKey() API, as described in http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/03/CuttingEdge ) In Vista the OpenFile dialog was redesigned and it looks like instead of the places icons it displays now the icons/shortcuts from Links folder (e.g. C:\Users\Username\Links). The list is by default customizable per-user by adding more shortcuts into that folder. Is it possible somehow to customize the Favorite Links in Vista per-application E.g. Is is possible to build a custom application that will display icons in ...Show All
