• Visual Basic Printing directly

  I have in the past created a way to print by creating a file and using writeline methods create the content and then in the end send the file location to a print method that would print the file... but now, I want to print directly to the printer but after I create/format the output. However I am pretty sure the program will run over a network with not enough privileges to create a file, is there a workaround to creating the output and then sending it to the printer thanks, johnp Richard, Actually I am creating a temporary name badge used where I work for visitors.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Does anyone know the polycon count for XNA PC/Xbox 360 games?

  Hi All, Does anyone know the poly limit for pc/360 games Does the XNA framework impose any limits Are there any "cheating" techniques to modeling for games (maybe this should be in the blender forums but just in case ). Are there any tutorials for any of the above Kindest regards, On the PC it depends completely on the graphics card you are using and what you are doing with it - you can find the number of poly's per second on the manufacturers website, just remember that value will be the maximum value possible (you won't ever see that), and of course you'll be rendering 60 frames per second. On the 360 everything is confidential, so unless you are a registered deve ...Show All

• Visual C# Set and Remove access(delete) permissions to a folder.

  Hi, My requirement is something like this. I am supposed to create a foler and have to check whether it already exists or not. If exists then delete the files from the existing folder and for that I need to check for the permissions(for ASPNET user) to that folder. and when files are deleted set the permissions back to the folder as it had earlier.

• Audio and Video Development HD DVD project questions

  Hi all, I've been making a lot of SD DVD's the past 5 years so I want to give it a try to author a HD DVD. A client is releasing a 2 DVD box with 6 episodes that have been shot in HD 1080i and asked me if it's possible to author it for HD medium. I want to suggest to release it as a standard DVD box with 2 extra discs containing the HD version of the filmedit. Since there are no players available yet in Europe I'm not very eager to release it on a true HD-DVD medium but to compromise I would like to replicate it on 2 x DVD-9 . The footage is about 2 x 2.5 hours with 5.1 audio. To be on the safe side I would also like to rebuild the project in Director with the same assets so I can include an executable people can use on their PC's because ...Show All

• Windows Forms getting window client area coordinates in large windows

  Hi! I need to acquire the client-area mouse coordinates in a window of a third party application. I have used GetCursorPos and ScreenToClient to get the mouse coordinates when the scrollbars are positioned at the top-left position. Unfortuanately the client area of the window who’s coordinates I need are usually much larger then the window itself. If you use ScreenToClient in the window when the scrollbars are positioned a few 1000 pixels to the right and down from the upper left corner you will get the position of the mouse pointer relative to the upper left corner of the visible part of the client area. Is there a way to get the difference between the upper left corner of the windows client area and the upper left corner of th ...Show All

• Visual C++ Compile-time class generation causes C++ Compiler to Crash

  Consider this example:   template <int N> struct Factorial {     enum { value = N * Factorial<N - 1>::value }; }; template <> struct Factorial<0> {     enum { value = 1 }; }; void foo() {     int x = Factorial<4>::value; }   It compiles and runs fine. But if you remove the code in bold, the C++ compiler crashes (probably because of a stack overflow). I tried looking for a support link in order to report this but found none.   P.S.: code sample taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_metaprogramming Don't know, I tried Factorial<489> and Factorial<490>. 489 works and ...Show All
