• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Invalid Search Path

  Hmm...there are always problems with the express versions of the Visual Studio Components, I think...under VC++ Express + Platform SDK the compiled EXEs won't run on other computers and now here with Visual C# Express and XNA Express Beta the compiler can't find the correct LIB Path. The funny thing is, that the Installation routine has named the installation path "Microsoft Visual Studio 8" but the compiler tries to search the LIBs in the Path "Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Mfc\lib"...I searched the whole IDE to find the place where I can reset the LIB Path, but it seems Microsoft has decided this feature to complicated for Express Users :D I Installed Visual C# Express on the D Drive because the C Drive ist ONLY for OS ...Show All

• Visual C# Changing application icon based on build configuration

  I have a C# application with different projects in the solution. I need to change the application icon based on build configuration. I have different build configurations for branding the application. I can change the icons and splash screens without any problems. The only problem is the Application icon which is used to show in the taskbar and in Windows Explorer. Is there any way to change this I would also like to change the output exe name. Is that possible Thanks. Got it figured out. I manually edited the NewsClient.csproj and coped the <ApplicationIcon> section from the common <PropertyGroup> to my specific <PropertyGroup> and it picks the right icon based on my build ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Generate D3D-Texture from System-Memory-Data ?

  Greetings everybody, My primary aim is to use the Images from several video-Streams as Textures on a system with several D3D-Devices, and I also need to use these Video-Textures partly on more than 1 Device. As sharing resources between Devices is to my knowledge near to Impossible, I deveolped the Plan to use a modded VideoBaseRenderer, put with that one the captured Video-Images in System-Memory, and generate my Textures with my D3D-Devices using the Data stored in System-RAM. So I plan to avoid the problem of unshareable Resources...But I could not find good advice on how to put my RAM-Data in a D3D-Texture. So thats the point I need assistance... I found 1 hint, that I should somehow put a BMP-Header in Front of my Data and use a D3DxC ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How do I protect my code when distributing it?

  Having read the FAQ. I noticed that in order to share your game creations (and lets face it, you can't get recognised without sharing your games), you need to send the other person the entire uncompiled game. This includes sourcecode, graphics, music, sound etc. etc. They then compile the code and download it to their xbox360 account and then only if they too are on the games creation program. My key worry here is that you send them everything you have just worked incredibly hard to create. Presumably they can then send this stuff on to whoever they please and god forbid, even sell it on! It strikes me that there isn't much incentive to distribute things this way. How is Microsoft going to prevent the above scenario Is there going to be a ...Show All
