• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA - Microsoft lack of vision

  Its real sad that Microsoft, once again, shows this lack of vision for a games development tool: 1: Get visual: Don't force users to write such a lot of code to do just very little. It reminds the Charles Petzold's "Hello Window" hell of code days. 2: Provide visual tools: Let users choose the components, change their properties and write just the required code for the events. 3: Quick development means quick prototype and minimum learning curve. XNA has a lot of things to learn. Definetively it is NOT for students and hobbists. We will have to wait until someone encapsulates XNA framework into a group of visual components, that can be easily drag & dropped, inspected and tested very easily without having to learn lots of n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Steps for developing application supporting macro

  Hi, We looked at samples that come with VSTA and all these samples are much for Addin development. We are not planning to support Addin for now but we are interested in macro functionality. Is there a tutorial of how to support macro (editing, recording..) in our application Do we need to make all the contract/proxy definition for supporting macro Thanks The addin-model's proxy layer provides version independence, process isolation, and security that is not possible with macros/scripts.

• Visual Studio Team System Can only connect VS to Team Foundation Server from server machine

  Fresh install, 2 tier server config, one App and one Data. Service pack 1 beta. We have a strange problem regarding VS TFS: When we connect from the local machine using VS/Team Explorer everything works correctly. All functionality is functioning as expected.

• Windows Forms Cannot restore from taskbar

  I've recently taken over development of a previous programmer's project. I'm in the process of debugging and have most of the issues ironed out except for this pesky little bugger. The program is an SDI app. There is one panel located on the main form. If I minimize the program with no forms loaded onto the panel then the program will "restore to normal" from the taskbar. If a form is loaded onto the panel, the app will minimize to the task bar but will not restore by clicking on the tray icon. I have to right-click and select "restore" from the pop up menu. App is written in VB.NET 2003. Thanks!! I don't understand why this guy wrote is this way either. The program works but t ...Show All

• Visual Basic Convert Int64 Value to a Date?

  Is there any routine (or function I haven't found) available to convert a integer (64 bit) to a date I'm processing a disk which has the dates stored in 8 bytes representing the number of 100 nanoseconds "ticks" since 1 jan 0001 at 00:00:00. The conversion functions, e.g., Convert.ToDateTime(), CVDate, etc. do not appear to support this type of conversion in VB 2005 Express. You should post this in the VB forum as they would probably be better suited to help you out. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx ForumID=159&SiteID=1 Moderator : Moved from Installing and Registering Visual Studio Express Editions forum to Visual Basic Language forum, thank you. ...Show All
