• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Trouble with XNA Game Launcher

  I am having some trouble with the XNA Game Launcher... I have had it up and running since December, but today for some reason, whenever I launch XNA Game Launcher(while signed into Xbox Live) it tells me it could not establish a connection with Xbox Live. So I decided to delete XNA Game Launcher and redownload. When I go to redownload it, it will not let me do so. The download acts like it wants to start, then freezes at 1%. I thought at first something might be wrong with my connection to Xbox Live, but I just started downloading the demo of Alien Hominid, and it is at 97% right now... Anyone else experiencing any trouble at all And never mind...evidently it was a maintenance issue because it is working now. Thanks, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions are methods called asynchronously in the same thread better than those called in another thread?

  i was just wondering since calling methods asynchronously in the same thread acts just like calling the method on another thread. so which is better or preferred by you programmers out there are methods called asynchronously in the same thread better than those called in another thread ReneeC Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. With everyman I just meant everyone. I know that you are a woman, and I have nothing against female programmers. My wife is a programmer too (embedded multitask systems), and one of the first multitask operating systems in Denmark (approximately 1977) was also written by a woman - Bodil Skroeder as far as I remember. I do not regard you as a software nerd. Being from the old days you have learned how to ...Show All

• Windows Forms Web service on a Win form

  I've just learn't how to consume a web service and display the xml on my web page using xslt, but was wondering how to go about the same task using a Windows Forms application. The xslt document format's the xml in to html to be displayed on the browser, but how should I display the info on a win form (obviously no html on a win app) Can anyone please help Ok, so it's the actual Xml that web service is returning... I'd leave your xslt/Html transformation and display it in the web browser. This way, you also stay more compatible with your web app and don't have to change things very much... Andrej ...Show All

• SQL Server IN CLAUSE

  Hello, I think I'm getting something in SQL SERVER that is none sence for me at least... Example: SELECT * FROM A WHERE A.ID IN (SELECT B.ID FROM B WHERE A.NAME='ABC' ) This query is returning DATA and It works... in SQL SERVER 2000 Can I invoke an external table in a subquery that is using IN clause This is not possible in many other DBMS... I don't know if this a BUG (offcourse It's possible with an EXISTS clause but It should be possible with IN clause) If SQL Server lets you do this then fair enough. You don't have to use this feature if you don't want! Chris ...Show All

• Visual Basic Reusing Forms

  Greetings I am converting a VB6 program containing multiple forms into a 2005.net VB program. In the old VB6 program I use a modal form and then I want to re-use the same form but but change some of the labels and make visible a control that was invisible the first time around. In the VB 6 version I was in, say, Form1 and executed the following code: Unload Form1 Form1.Show 1 This re-did the Load event and I used a counter to customize the form in its second life. Is there any way to do this simply in VS2005 VB Application.OpenForms is a method/function in .NET that gives you a collection of opened forms in the application and you can access it by the index or form name http://msdn2.micr ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. My 1-week XNA evaluation

  Hi! I've been evaluating XNA Game Studio Express for about a week now. Writing this little report to get some thoughts and ideas out of my system. If you just want to download the game I made, here it is: http://www.artplant.no/Johan/XNATest.rar Everything is original and copyright (c) Artplant, except for the sound assets and the sound code, which was ripped from the SpaceWar sample in XNA. Someone please give me a heads-up if that's illegal for some reason, and I'll take it out. You'll need a shader model 2.0 GPU to run the game. Also, you'll need a 360 gamepad or similar. (Don't know if XNA is compatible with other pads yet.) Both of the thumb sticks fire cannons independently when pushed. Enough of that, here's a quic ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vista allows What versions of DirectX?

  (split from http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1221168  to make a new question) It is interesting that you say that because I am testing a VB6 app that was working fine on XP and below but now fails on Vista when it tries to create a DirectX8 object, specifically Set oDX = new DirectX8 throws Error 429, ActiveX failed to create component. Running in XP SP2 compatibility mode does not work either. I would be really grateful if anyone has any ideas on this.  I also tried running the latest DX9 redistributable because I heard that was providing backward compatibility, but to no avail. Thanks.

• Windows Forms List box above list box. How do I get to anchor correctly

  I have a form that has two horizontal list boxes on it and several buttons, two of the buttons are inbetween the list boxes. My problem is when I maximise the form at run time the bottom list box runs over the buttons and into the top list box. I have tried all the anchors and have found that I can't get the two boxes to remain the same distance apart. How can I make them work together or how can I anchor the bottom list box to the the bottom corner of the top box so the middle margin stays the same and the boxes expand with the window I can get the top box to expand to the correct size and place, but the bottom if anchored to top/right/left/bottom runs over the top and buttons. If it is anchored to the bottom/right/left it remains s ...Show All
