• Community Chat Microsoft and its 'new' Halo: Wars RTS Game, and Derelict Studios

  Well, as most have probably heard, Microsoft has come out with a 'new' Real Time Strategy game called Halo: Wars, a game to be made for the X-Box 360. I quote 'new', because it is not a new idea, nor shall all the credit go to those people who work in Microsoft. A Modification for the game C&C Generals, called Halogen, was a mod in the works for approximatly 3 years, where people from the community pitched in numerous hours of work and labour for the good of the  community, and a playable release was soon to come for those of us desperate to download it. Microsoft came in close to before the release and forced the memebers of Derelict Studios to close down Halogen and halt all progress on the game, and close down the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Building a web form programmatically

  I am fairly new to the extensibility realm. I think it is a great tool but I have run into some issues. I am working on an add-in that will generate a basic application based on a database. Currently, the tool has no problem generating the necessary classes and thanks to some of the posts on this forum I have figured out how to add the code to App_Code folder correctly. The problem that I am trying to solve is to create the web form programmatically and then populate it with controls. I can dynamically generate the web form but I can not figure out how to add controls to the page. I would like to have the application write much of the codebehind logic to tie to the classes that the system generates also but until I can figure out the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. I bought a couple of books but have ran into a little problem...

  I bought both C# and Game Programming, and C# for Dummies 2005(I am kinda a new to programming), and they seem up to date, yet neither are new enough to feature the Windows Game project, so they cover console app, which I can do fine in, so as far as making games goes, is it all right to use console app, or should I stick with Windows Game, and if so, how do I translate what there is in console app to that of Windows Game, is there any sort of FAQ to the matter, I didn't see on in the FAQ thread. Thanks for any help that you can give me. lol, well the books dont use the "Windows Game Project" because that is only from the XNA framework which as you should its BETA came out on ~August 30.

• Visual Studio When a VS Service Doesn't Exist

  I am developing a package and am new to VS Extensibility. I understand that communication between VS packages is done through services. I've been scouring the SDK documentation and it seems that the service I'm looking for doesn't provide the interfaces that I need. My question: Does this mean I must obtain interfaces through COM instances and interop namespaces Thank you. JJ Unless you are actually implementing a custom debug engine, Those interfaces will not be of much use to you. It would be better to retrieve the EnvDTE.Debugger and/or EnvDTE.Debugger2 interface. I'm not really sure if you can directly effect a change in the thread's instruction pointer though. I know you can do a SetNextStateme ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Saving decimal in SQL Data Base

  Hi, When I save a decimal number, forexample 1.23, the database is rounding it to the nearest whole number 1. I need the DB to retain the value sent 1.23. Ron If you are using typed datasets, they do not automatically refresh when the database schema changes. Thus your strongly typed dataset proxy likely still forced 0 decimal places. You need to refresh your schema when the database structure changes. Jim Wooley http://devauthority.com/blogs/jwooley ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development How to set default button and global variables?

  Two questions: 1. Total 3 menus with several buttons in each of them. how can I return to the correct menu with correct button focused after playing through each clip 2. If I have several .js file, where should I set the global variables that could be shared among all .js during disc playback Many thx! Easiest thing to do is to remember who has the focus when you leave one menu, and store it in a variable. Then when you load a page, use a simple animation to set the focus correctly: // When leaving the page: var focusedButton = GetFocusedButton(); if (focusedButton != null) resumeFocusId = focusedButton.core.id; // When loading the page (ie, setMarkupLoadedHandler) document.setXPathVa ...Show All
