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

  Hi, I’m trying to convert my particle system to XNA and need to know how to use billboards, in DirectX managed you could do something like: sprite.SetWorldViewLH(…); sprite.Begin(SpriteFlags.Billboard); sprite.Draw2D(…); sprite.End(); and that would draw the sprite in the specified 3D location facing the camera, I know the Matrix.CreateBillboard() Method exist and would like to know how to use it. Thanks. If you are just rendering small particles that always face the camera, then just do this: Declare your VertexType with the VertexElementUsage.PointSize element. Render the points using PrimitiveType.PointList . If you need more contr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Null Reference Exception

  For some reason i keep getting this "Null reference exception was unhandled - object reference not set to an instance of an object" Does anyone what this or what is could be causing it. I'm using arrays to store stuff which then makes an instance of a panel. I have 4 of these, they are all identical and use the same panel, but one of them refuses to work and I get this message, I've checked it over and can't seem to see anything different between that 1 and the other 3.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Splashscreen Question/Problem.

  Greetings, I have an application that I have added a splashscreen to, the problem I am unable to solve is that when I run the application at design time (F5) the splashscreen appears and then the Mainform appears and functions as required. However if I build the application and run the program from the desktop (via an icon) the Splashscreen appears and then the MainForm however the XP startup bar appears and the icon (for the application) is flashing which means I have to click the form to commence using it. If I have VBEE open but minimised and select the icon from the desktop the application functions as required. What do I have to do to have my application function as expected Cheers Bakerboy60 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Installing Visual Studio 2005 60 day trial

  Hey, I am trying to download the 60 day trial of Visual Studio 2005 Professional, but the format of the file download is .img..... I read here: Additional Information This Trial Edition has full retail functionality but will expire after 90 days. An ISO-9660 image file is an exact representation of the original installation media, including the content and the logical format. The most common use of an image file is to write it to a blank DVD-R resulting in an identical copy of the original DVD including file name and volume label information. ISO Images can also be extracted directly to a file location by many DVD-R utilities. ? This trial software is not supported by Customer Services and Support (CSS). If you have questions ...Show All

• SQL Server Events keep bubbling up, even with Propagate=False

  I've been pulling my hair out for the last couple of weeks trying to make my SSIS package more robust. I'm running SQL 05 SP1 on Windows XP SP2. Right now when there's a failure, the error propagates all the way up and my package stops running. Clearly not very robust. I have a heartbeat portion that makes a connection to the database every couple of minutes. Sometimes it loses the connection in the middle of the night, probably due to some maintenance going on. I have created an event handler to log the error, sleep a couple of minutes and set Propagate=False. This works great. When the connection is down, the error is logged, once the connection comes back, the package just keeps going. I also have an FTP component that receives a file a ...Show All

• .NET Development ftp lib

  folks..anyone aware of a ftp lib that can download files maintaining the same directory structure.. i found a lot of ftp libs that do a normal download of all the files (meaning the directory listing just lists all the files from all the subdirectories instead of treating them with their own directory structure.) example if the ftp location has the following files -------------------------------------- DirA ( 10 files in it) DirB(5 files in it) FileA FileB -------------------------------------------- the ftp download should download with the same directory and file structure instead of treating all the files in all directories as one tx in advance You may have to pony up for professional package.

• Windows Forms One or more errors encountered while loading the designer

  Hi, I was working on a simple Winforms C# project. I created a few of TableAdapters using the designer and attached them to datagridviews on my form. After realizing that i did not want one of the tables I went to the XSD designer and deleted it. After that the project still excutes ok but the form designer is unable to display the form in design view I get the following error: One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are listed below. Some errors can be fixed by rebuilding your project, while others may require code changes. Clicking on each error will take you to the line of code that caused it.   I am not looking for a response to this problem (creating prototype, kicking the ti ...Show All

• Windows Forms GridView DeleteCommand Firing Twice

  I Have a gridview with a command button for delete defined. On the Datasource for the grid I have a DeleteCommand that runs a stored procedure that takes the ID field defined in grid view control. When the delete command is selected in the gridview the deletecommand stored procedure is called twice with the same ID (I have traced this). I have removed all delete events from the gridview and datasource. I have a FormView that has a selectcommand using the GridViews primary ID. I have autoeventwireup set to true. There is no code being ran before or after deletion. I did have a refresh procedure being ran after delete. When this was active Instead of the same record being deleted twice, the selected record and the record ...Show All
