• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Can You Move the Backbuffer?

  I'm playing around with shaking the screen when explosions occur and thought the best way to do this would be to randomly move the backbuffer. How can I do this kind of effect! Thanks! Yeah, don't embed the shake offset in the object's position on screen, only apply it as you draw the object - the object isn't moving logically in the world, you're just adjusting the place on the screen it gets drawn at. ...Show All

• .NET Development Sorry if wrong category. How do I create a custom assembly?

  Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the right category. I'm using VB.Net 2.0. I don't know how hard this is, but I'd like to create my own assembly like the System.Windows.Forms.etc. I'm creating a custom control, but I also want to create object types. For example, I'd like to do the following: MyApp.MyCtl MyApp.MyFormats.Add(MyFormat) Does NET just create namespaces within namespaces to achieve their heirarchy, or is there something more Thanks, Dennis Pretty much any Visual Basic project creates an assembly. If you're creating controls and objects, then simply choosing Windows Control Library will be sufficient. An assembly contains types which are organised in namespaces, but many assemblies can contain ...Show All

• Visual Basic Access DB distribution

  Hi all. I have developed a simple VB.NET app that displays some data from an Access database. No updating, just reading the data. I want to distribute the db with the installation, I know how to include it in the user's application folder, but how do I make the app know where to look once it's installed (maybe |DataDirectory| ) I've been searching through other postings for a few days, but they all seem to be using VS 2005... Thanks for any help! P.S. I'm using Visual Studio 2003 Why not just use the file name if it's in the same directory: Dim ConnectionString As String ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=MyDB.mdb" ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Reporting on Plain Text Fields in Work Items

  Hello. I'm relatively new to the TFS game, but my company is jumping in with both feet, so I'm trying to get up speed. Anyway....I've modifed both the Task and Bug work items to include a Release Notes field (type is PlainText), and I would like to create a report that pulls the release notes for a particular iteration. I've discovered that PlainText fields cannot be put into the data warehouse, so I'm wondering if there is a solution to reporting on long text fields outside of simply writing a query for a report that spans the various TFS databases. Hi Brian, Welcome aboard! The biggest type that can go into the warehouse is a String, so you're right that PlainText cannot be put into the warehouse ...Show All

• Customer Care Framework Where to download

  Hi, Can someone please tell me where to download the CCF Thanks Normally it is on MSDN but the version that has been up there was the original release of CCF 2005 (2.5) (dated Feb 2).  You do not want this version even if you find it.  Saying that they seemed to have removed it, hopefully to replace it with the the re-release CCF 2005 (2.5.1) and the newer CCF 2005 .Net 2.0 Edition (2.6).  I have already passed this information along to those "in the know" to see why it is not on MSDN at all anymore.
