• Visual C++ Can I debug???

  Hi, I worte an MFC program and compiled it in "Debug", but I compiled it in "Release" configuration. Then, I modified my code for additional functionality, but I can't debug the program anymore with "Debug" configuration. It gave me error like "Debug Assertion Failed" when I ran program in "Debug" mode. I do want to debug my program for its correctness. Do you have any idea how I can debug Thanks, vcboy An assertion in your program has fired. Assertions are enabled on debug builds and not on release builds. You are debugging, from what I can tell. Where is the assertion (i.e. which line of code ) ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Could C# be the future of gaming?

  Since XNA is using C#, and is is a more intuitive language than C++, is it possible that in the future that C# will dominate, espessially in AAA titles. Could XNA be ushering a new way of programming in the main stream Jim, You are correct, 20% is probably the worst I have seen. Unless you do some real thight loop memory operations. Most people never talk about poorly written code either, which is slow regardless of programming language. There is some horribly inefficent examples for every language out there. Having said that, I find it a lot harder to optimize c++ for performance, than c#. The guts is in the algorithms, if you get them right it should not really matter if you write your code managed c#.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Read Application Manifest Without Using ServerDocument

  Does anyone know how to read the application manifest from the currently opened document without using the ServerDocument class I know you can loop over all the Shapes in the document and until you encounter the shape with the ProgID "VSTO.RuntimeStorage.1". But then what do you do with that shape How can I extract the XML for the embedded application manifest Thanks in advance for any advice... I'm intrigued by this answer - I've been looking for a managed class to deal with IStorage - I had a feeling there would be something in VSTO - but the documentation is rather obscure - can I use the ServerDocument class to load any structured storage or is it specific to Office ...Show All

• .NET Development Runtime validation using C#/XML

  Hi, I need some help in doing runtime validation using C#/XML. I have a record with  columns col1, and col2. There is a rule associated with col2 that says data in col2 should be present only if data in col1 is present. How can I frame this rule in XML and use it in C# code to perform runtime validation Can somebody provide a code snippet Many Thanks!! It is not clear how your "record" and "columns" relate to XML. If you are trying to set up an XML schema with the W3C XSD schema language then look into the xs:key and xs:keyRef element. Schema validation is supported in the .NET framework, in .NET 1.x with XmlValidatingReader, with .NET 2.0 with an XmlReader and the proper XmlReaderSettings. ...Show All

• Visual C# Events

  I know how events/delegates works. its when implementing them that seems to be the problem with me. now... I have: a Form several classes the form knows nothing, it only knows about 1 class, which it instantiates. this class instantiates other classes. The form, nor do the other classes, need to know about each other. now, I have successfully created events which when raised from the main form, one of the classes acts upon it - thats all good. what I want now, is the complete opposite. I want to make an event where, in one of these classes (not the class the main form creates) I can raise so that the main form picks it up and acts upon it. Since I am mostly confused at times when events are involv ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Skin weight Transforms and Model Importer

  Hey, where do you guys store the transform matrices for skin weights in the content pipeline It seems that they are merged with the bone matrices before they are passed to the processor. Also, is there any way to extend the .X file importer class There are a lot of situations in which this can be useful. In the intermediate object model, keyframe matrices are stored in the AnimationContent objects attached to the Animation property of the mesh being animated. I don't quite understand what you mean by merging bone matrices and skin weight matrices: in our object model there is only one matrix, in the animation keyframe, which describes how the bone is moving over time. You can't easily extend importers: t ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS2005 Trial

  I am considering visual studio 2005 (standard...) and want to download the trial but the website keeps forcing me to enter an order DVD page. Links that tell me I can either order the trial DVD or download the trial inevitably lead to an order page. Could someone tell me how to download the trial Thanks! -Thomas I finally was able to make it work when i renamed the file extension to ".iso" instead of ".img".  As soon as I did this my burning software recognized it.  Then I burned it to a DVD and then installed from the DVD.
