Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Water Ripple Effect ?
Hi all, i develop ship game now, i want the ship moving make some water ripple, How to make water ripple Best Regards, Thats far too large a subject to answer in the forums. We can answer specific problems once you have worked them into your code. Check out the HLSL samples inthe SDK - they show how to call shaders from managed code. Then try the webcast I did for MSDN - the shaders are very very simple and just replicate basic lights but it shows how they work. http://msevents.microsoft.com/cui/WebCastEventDetails.aspx culture=en-US&EventID=1032296889 source for it linked from here http://www.thezbuffer.com/articles/210.aspx A HLSL book will be useful - I like this one http://www.amazon.com/Shaders-Progra ...Show All
Windows Live Developer Forums starters question.. why does this basic code not work properly
Hi, I am trying to load a UK address where i pass in as apart of the url. The map moves to the right location, but the zoom doesn't work. The map starts out at a very high zoom level.

Visual FoxPro Change tooltips when Hovering over a grid cell.
I am not sure if this is possible: I need to implement something like the new memo field content preview (When you hover over a memo field of a grid, it will show its content in a tooltip style). I need to show some additional info about a customer when the user is hovering over the account # in the grid. I have tried to manipulate the tooltip of the textbox, or the tooltip of the column at run time and it didn't work for me. Is this possible I'd rather not use a click or doubleclick to open a form, but rather hover over a cell in a grid. Thanks. Cetin; I'm looking for any kind of solution. If you are aware of a better solution using hover over the grid cell, I would gladly t ...Show All

Windows Forms How to communicate from Child Form to Parent Form?
I open a 'MySerialPortsForm' with a ListBox and that ListBox is filled with all available serial ports on my computer. If I select a serial port by mouseclick I would like to have the selected serial port name transported as a string to my main form 'MyMainForm'. I was thinking about some 'Callup' function residing in 'MyMainForm' which is called from 'MySerailPortsForm'. I studied 'delegates' but I'm not sure if that's a correct approach or if it is usable for this purpose. I prefer not to use a Window Message for data transport. All hints are welcome, Henk Well, after pondering the Internet I found some examples and indeed it is the 'delegates' that are to be used. (equal to so ...Show All
Windows Forms location of image inside a picture box?
hi, is there an easy way to determine the location of an image inside a PictureBox control i have a large image inside and the SizeMode is set to Zoom (to maintain aspect ratio) so there can be either a visible margin to the left and right or to the top and bottom of the PictureBox control. i think i can do this by knowing the aspect ratio of the image and the aspect ratio of the PictureBox but i am really lazy and don't want to do the math. i was thinking there would be some sort of magic image location property but i can't seem to find that. it seems that it must be known at some time since OnPaint() knows where to paint the image. thanks, scott thanks, i've done the math. it was not really that bad but ...Show All

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Default pixel shader?
I fear I already know the answer, but is there any way to use a 'default' pixel shader This used to be done by specifying PixelShader = null; in the .fx file, but this doesn't work any longer. I bet a lot of games will do just fine using BasicEffect for all their rendering. If you want to do fancy graphics stuff you will obviously need to create custom effects, but plenty of interesting games can be made just with simple lit+textured models! You could easily emulate any Playstation1 level of graphics, and PC games like Quake2, entirely using BasicEffect. ...Show All
Windows Forms UserControl as Container
Hi all, Just a quick question and I am sure there is a simple solution but I just haven't found it yet. I know how to make my UserControl a container by using ParentControlDesigner etc. This works fine and I can drag and drop Windows Forms Controls at design time. However, if I add a Panel to my UserControl Class, compile it and then try to drag and drop another control on the Panel, the Panel does not act as a container. So my question is: If I have a UserControl which consist of a single Panel, which is a pretty lame control I know, how can you get the Panel to act as a container at design time Any help in this would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards AM PS. The UserControl that I have written does not consist of a ...Show All
.NET Development Problems using port 80: Services not running?
I have been developing a client/server application for some time now and recently I did a complete reinstall of Windows XP Professional. I have everything working, and everything has been working the past few weeks, so all was good until I had a friend test connect to my server remotely. My server runs on port 80. The problem is that now port 80 is closed on my computer. I have it forwarded to my computer via my router's port forwarding, and I have no firewalls running at all. Windows Security Center is disabled as well. So my question is, are there any services that port 80 depends on for me to be able to accept incoming connections Is there a way I can force it open on my computer I will provide any details necessary.

Visual Studio Team System VS crashes when <Location not stored in Pdb> is produced
I added the fxcop command on the post-build event of my VS project but whenever FxCop can't resolve the source location of a message and displays <Location not stored in Pdb>, I get the 'Microsoft Visual Studio has encountered a problem and needs to close' window. Why is this Is there someway to prevent this from happening Sara, There are certain code elements that are not stored in the pdb, including but not limited to types (classes, struct, enum declarations), delegates, assembly attributes, etc. FxCop has no idea where these elements exist in a source file (or even the source file that contains them). The Visual Studio integration makes up for this by using the Visual Studio Code Model to ...Show All
