• Visual Studio Express Editions DirectX managed code samples for Visual C++ Express 2005 programmers

  It is now just a week or so, that I had painstakingly downloaded the DirectX SDK for February 2007. I happily installed it hoping that it would atleast have some (if not all) managed (.NET Framework using code) code samples for Visual C++  2005 Express Edition. The SDK had samples for C++ but using APIs and the rest of the samples in managed  code but in C#. I have always viewed API programming for hardcore low-level programmers able to reinvent the wheel. I knew that if I used APIs I would just give up on the first sample. In addition, to that handling all the memory allocation and release is a tedious and ugly job. By the way, what was the use of using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition if I used APIs for programming So I had t ...Show All

• Visual C# code snippets

  From what I've read, C#'s static modifier should work just like Java. So, I created a utilities class which has a public static method to do some things. The utilities class is declared within the same namespace as my form class (just in a separate file), but if I attempt to access the method in the utilities class from the form class, the compiler complains that the name of the utility method or the class (if I attempt to use the FQN of the method) does not exist in the current context. If I attempt to add a "using MyNamespace.Utilities" statement at the top (which I fully expect to be redundant) the compiler also complains that the "Utilities" type or name does not exist in "MyNamespace". Any suggestions are most welcome! According to wr ...Show All

• Windows Forms Setup and Deployment Project FAQ

  Deployment FAQ   Q: I am now getting the following error when I build: " Unable to update the dependencies of the project. The dependencies for the object ' name.dll ' cannot be determined" A: Workaround :  Try to adjust the order of the Projects in the Solution and leave the Database project to the end. We can either edit the Solution (*.sln) file with notepad OR remove and add the Database Project back in the solution. (This also isn’t a great work-around as the addition of a project later in the development cycle will cause the corruption to re-appear).

• Windows Forms Bitmap Images

  Hi there! I am making images out of data arrays, and then displaying them in a form inside a picture box. The thing is, the display seems to be interpolating between pixel values in order to smooth out the image, to make it look better I guess. But I actually want a purely pixelated image, so that each pixel looks like a square block of a single colour (gray scale actually). I havent been able to find any setting or methods in the bitmap class to change the interpolation method, so if anyone can help me out that'd be great! Thanks a lot Joe When you look at your image im Picture manager etc are you just looking at the image really close or are you zooming in Different programs handle zooming in differe ...Show All
