• .NET Development Erase From ArrayList

  Hi There, I am trying to initialize an arraylist, The method I have came up with is for ( int i = 0; i < wordArray.Count; i++) { wordArray.Removeat ; } The problem is I get an error message saying Error 1 Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, and new object expressions can be used as a statement Any help appreciated, Chris looks like you are trying to clear the items in the array, not initializing the arraylist. why dont you just use the Clear() method to remove the items in the arraylist theArrayList.Clear(); the arraylist is initialized when you create an instance of it...

• Visual Studio error in debug

  In vb 2005 I got an error in debug. When I stopped debug I could no longer get to my form design. Then I ran debug again and it asked if I want to run the last good build and I say OK. and it ran great. But when ended debug, I still could not get to my form design. How do get back to the last good build. Do delete something in the debug folder What this means is that the bin\foo.exe that is sitting around from last time could still be run - it has not been overwritten by the compiler as yet. It's not a "backup" per-se. John ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Microsoft.WebApplication.targets project wasn't installed out the box

  I just had my first build finally running (hurray, hurray). But among the other reasons it failed because it couldn't find imported project. The error was: "The imported project "C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v8.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" was not found" I checked that folder and it has TeamBuild, ReportingServices and CodeAnalysis folders with relevant targets but no WebAplications folder and targets.

• Visual Basic Dynamic drawings in VB.Net

  Hi, Is there any VB.Net equivalent to the vbXorPen and vbNotXorPen options of the DrawMode property in VB6 These options were very usefull to create dynamic drawings. Thanks by advance, Pierre Hi Reed, There must be something I missunderstand. Trying your sample code in my application, I actually obtain an ellips that moves with the mouse pointer, but the initial drawings are all deleted as soon as the mouse pointer enters into the PictureBox. So the ellips moves on a white surface ... For information, my PictureBox contains axis and scales plus several curves ploted point by point. I have implemented a re-drawing of all these items in the form_paint event of the form that contains ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Effects Manager

  In reading the documentation it seems that you cannot have a (working)camera without passing through an effects. Would it then be better to create an effects manager class to handle exposing an effect update method accepting a camera argument, or better to just load up an effects cache and have the camera class grab what it needs each time. The effects uses the WorldViewProjection matrix as you may have to implement a camera in your game project. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using Microsoft.Xna.Framework; using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Components; using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics; namespace XNACamera { public class ...Show All
