• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 3D presentation

  Hi guys, I really want to waw my client and write a window display for a real estate shop using C# and managed DirectX 3D. It will be a presentation running accross 4 screens. I have a basic amount of experience working with meshes and textures, etc (I made a 3D space shooter around a year ago). But, I'm lacking ideas really of how to present pictures and info about apartments and houses... Could anybody possibly inspire me Thanks! Since they have the images stored then maybe morphing from one image to another and each screen can deal with a certain section of the database. Like the Michael Jackson video. Texture transformations might be quite interesting. You can have ...Show All

• Windows Forms Windows Forms Tab Control problem !!

  Hi all, I'm trying to select a tab from the windows form's standard tab control on right clicking of mouse button on the tab button (when the context menu is shown) The mouse event args gives me the location of the mouse pointer. But the tab control doesn't expose any method or property to get the tab on which my mouse pointer is hovering. If anyone has the solution I will be thankful if you can let me know. Hoping to hear from you guys... Thanks and Regards, Mick, An extraordinarily helpful link.  Thanks for posting this! While the solution you posted isn't exactly what I was looking for (I'm not looking for hover functionality), the information I needed was there in essence.  For those who just want to achie ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. ModelView example program

  I have been tinkering around with the XNA beta since it's release, however not as much as many of you. I'd like to release to everyone here what I've been working on and would like to get any and all feedback on it. The program is a simple model viewing program that loads .OBJ files and displays them. The model I have packaged with it is a tree done by Will Cox and uses alpha channels for the leaves. Some things are still hardcoded, so if any of you want to make improvements and upload them as well that'd be cool by me. It can be downloaded here: http://www.obscurityfactor.com/ModelView.zip One note: I have yet to fix an issue with multiple alpha textures on top of each other where one may not let you see through another. I believe one po ...Show All

• Visual C# C# Vista Issue

  I am not sure if this is the correct location but I am getting an exception when I am running this piece of code in Windows Vista while logged in as a user: System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName( proc, System.Environment.MachineName) Is there a different way to run this I am using .NET 1.1 framework for development. Hi, what is the error you are getting I am guessing a security exception. Most likely in XP you were logged in as the administrator, in Vista you run as a normal user even if you are part of the administrators group, you will need to set the appropriate security permissions in your code to be allowed to see what processes are running.

• Smart Device Development Help with Invoke on CF

  I have been trying to nail this problem for a week now, but can't seem to get it right. I am building a Jabber application for the PocketPC and am using a third-party component for n-software. The n-software component does the usual things: expose a connect method, but also an OnSync event that fires when the device has logged into the Jabber server successfully. The OnSync THEN downloads the Jabber Roster (ala MyBuddies). Once I have these buddies, I want to parse them and put them, by group, into a TreeView. The issue is the old threading problem. I can't get the TreeView to load the Roster. ANy help would be appreciated... THANKS. My code is as follows: Delegate Sub MyEventHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As nsoftware.IPWor ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to handle Ctrl-Drag on design surface?

  Hi, We've got a custom designer working, we can drag items from our toolbox onto the design surface without any problem. However, we want to handle dragging while holding down control - this should create a copy of the control. When ctrl-dragging, the icon changes to a + to indicate that this is what it's going to do, but on releasing the mouse, nothing happens! The MSDN magazine example from March 2006 has the same 'feature'. What do we have to do to enable the creation of the new control Many thanks, Gary Hey Doug, How do you add the service We are looking for a service of type ComponentSerializationService, so if you are registering a type of CodeDomComponentSerializationService , we won't find it.

• Visual Basic how to create a thread with parameters?

  scenario ======= When I get a Created event from a FileSystemWatcher, I want to start a process to see when the file has finished being created (which FileSystemWatcher doesn't give). I have a class called FileWaiter which starts a thread and will raise an event when it can open a file for write, i.e. it has finished being written. Obviously, I could get multiple created events for multiple file at almost the same time so I need to cope with that. However, to declare my FileWaiter with events, it has to be declared at module level, and when I get the fileCreated event, I create a FileWaiter MyFileWaiter = New FileWaiter(e.FullPath) which I will dispose of as soon as I get the FileEndCreated event, but if 2 files are created at once, i ...Show All

  Hello, I was wondering if there was a setting or a way to limit or restrict the amount of Memory an SSIS package can use I know that by default the windows OS limits a process (a package in this case) to 2GB and up to 3GB with AWE enable but what if I wanted to say Limit it to 1GB of memory is there anyway to do that Is there an SSIS Engine setting or Package property somewhere Thanks!
