• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 SP1 doesn't support pre SP1 projects?

  After upgrading to Visual Studio 2005 SP1 I get the following error when I try to open up any existing solution: "The project file '<project>.csproj' cannot be opened. The project type is not supported by this installation. This is the second machine that I have screwed up by performing the SP1 install with identical behavior (It was an independant download of SP1 code.) VS05 with SP1 seems to be able to create new projects fine and it does seem to like its new projects, but doesn't seem to like any pre SP1 projects. This problem seems to apply to any project though I have mostly been checking C# WindowsMobile projects. I would imagine that this was one of the first things ch ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. UI elements - common approaches?

  Morning/Evening all (delete as appropriate :), Got a general question for you. I'm looking to start experimenting with UI elements - the standard stuff really - HUDs, health bars, score, mini-maps. What I really would like to know is, what are the general techniques that are commonly used to achieve these elements Polygons with textures applied and drawn to screen space I keep reading about 'textured quads' - does that simply refer to textured polygons drawn on the projection plane (i.e. 'on' the screen) This does seem like it should be the basis of most common UI elements - menus, HUDs, buttons, etc. What other techniques are common Thanks guys/gals.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Action Pack Question

  I am interested in the Action Pack. I understand that it comes with the Vista upgrade, not the full edition. I do not have 10 licensed copies of XP Pro to upgrade from. So does that mean I will need to purchase a licensed copy of XP Pro for each machine that I want to put the Action Pack upgrade version of Vista on Don't even think about NOT renewing! Like Tony Soprano said, "Once you're in this family, there's no gettin' out". Be prepared for all kinds of nasty, threatening letters from the Microsoft legal team. Think they’re not tough Heck, they regularly beat the US, as well as other governments with ease. According to the agreement, if you do not renew, you’re obligated to un-install any of the licenses used b ...Show All
