• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XAP Importer

  Hi, I'm loading files from a windows form test application and I want to load XACT audio assets, but my idea was to ask the user only for the xap project filename, generate the files into a folder in run time and then simply load all the generated data according to the extensions. I've been doing MSBuilds for other standard importers, but I just can't find the names for the importer and the processor. My documentation shows N/A when it comes to XACT projects. Any idea    Thanks! I finally figured out how to make the outputs work for the call to Engine.BuildProject, just in case somebody is interested, the problem was that I was taking fo ...Show All

• .NET Development Memory issue

  Hi! I don't understand the .Net memory magnagement. I have a application, when run it .... consume 16.280 KB of RAM, if i don't touch the app(idle) ... this value is constant along hours, but if i minimize the app then consume 8.000 kb, if and then maximize again consume 12.000 KB ... whats happened I have seen similar where my application consumes a lot of memory, expected mind you, and doesn't release it, at least in viewing Perfmon, until on minimize. I did not see a significant spike when maximizing it...but I wasn't doing any mayor GUI processing which caused a significant increase. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Integration of VSS 2005 and SQL Server in VS2005.

  Hello, We are in-process of integrating SQL Server stored procs in Visual Sourcesafe 2005. I was just wondering if we can do each and everything from Visual Studio 2005 IDE, one click solution, just like what it has for normal source code (c#,aspx). How can we customize VS2005 to intereact with Sql server procs with check-in/check out procedures. I understand VSTS for Database Professionals can be installed for this. I know very little about this. I assume this requires extra softwares to be installed. I want to make an environment seamless to developers for their .net development and database development.

• Smart Device Development Smart device CAB project - registry error during build

  I am building a CAB file for a Pocket PC application in Visual Studio .NET 2005. In VS .NET 2003, there was a fairly straightforward option to 'Build CAB file' in the project context-sensitive menu. As far as I can see, in VS .NET 2005, one has to add a Smart device CAB project. I have followed walkthrough 'Packaging a Smart Device Solution for Deployment' available in VS .NET 2005 online help and completed all the steps. When attempting to build the cab file, I receive the following error in the output window: Warning: Section [RegKeys] registry value "" has an empty string for the data Error: CAB file "P:\MyApp_Setup\Release\MyApp.CAB" could not be created I am guessing that VS wants me to do some extra wor ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How similar is this to DirectX?

  I started Windows programing two days ago...but I'm used to programming on other systems. Anyways, the lack of docunation for the xna framework sucks and I was wondering how similar it is to another doc so I can work with that Could I be able to read tutorials online dealing with DirectX and apply them to XNA Managed DirectX wasn't always quite as .Net like as some of us would have liked but thsi actually helped becuase the API was very similar in places to native DirectX so it wasn't too hard to follow c++ code. However XNA has made big changes to simplify and and make more .Net like which means that, though the priciples are the same, the APIs look very different in places. So there may be confusion ...Show All
