• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is there any way to tell if a sampler has a texture attached in shaders?

  Is there any way to tell if a sampler has a texture attached in shaders The default behavior is getting black when no texture attached but I want it to be some other color. No, there is not such functionality available in shader. If you want to use other color, just attach 1x1 sized texture in your code when no texture is needed. I think such things were actually used for emulating "default" black behaviour in some older HW. ...Show All

• Visual Basic cant open .VB file in visual studio editor,opens in hex view bug?

  Hello, I have a strange problem that I have looked for the answer to but no solution has seemed to work yet.  I am using Visual Studio 2005 with Visual source safe, and I have a visual basic solution I am working with.  For one of the .vb files in my soution (parser.vb), visual studio for some reason stopped opening the file.  Yesterday everything was working fine like normal, but now, when I double click the file from the solution explorer, it will open the file in what looks like a hex editor in a new tab (this is all still within the visual studio IDE, it doesnt pop open a separate application or anything).  All the other files in the solution still open normally with the vb code editor with intellisense and ...Show All

• Windows Forms Label - Static width & autoresized height?

  Hi Assume you have a Label component and a text: string str = "Probae etsi in segetem sunt deteriorem datae fruges, tamen ipsae suaptae enitent" ; If you set: Label1.AutoResize = true ; you will only have one row (and the label may exceed the the right bound of the form). I wonder if anyone has a smart solution of how to get a static width and a dynamic (autoresized) height One solution of mine is to take measurements of the string ( this .CreateGraphics().MeasureString(str, font) ), and then insert "\n" to the string in the correct places. Does anyone have a more proper solution Kind Regards Does this do what you want Label1.Text = "Probae etsi in segetem sunt ...Show All

• SQL Server Chart in Report Builder

  hi there I am just designing a simple chart in Report Builder - but when trying to drag any field into the value field of the chart (it doesn't change colour and won't accept any field). If I drag a field into the category or series the curser changes and on approaching the chart properties they seem to change colour. Can someone help to what can be wrong thanks Dianne Items added to the value fields area in a chart must be aggregates. Dropping non-aggregates to the value area is not allowed and would give you the behavior you are seeing. You can identify aggregates in your report explorer by looking for the aggregate icon which has three stacked yellow boxes and a curly brace. In the report ...Show All
