• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Build for Xbox 360 and Windows in one project

  I have created a Visual Studio project template that can be built for either Xbox 360 or Windows, by selecting the correct platform in the VS IDE. There's nothing particularly clever about this, it just uses some of the conditional abilities of MSBuild projects to merge the properties of an Xbox 360 XNA project with a Windows XNA project. There's a slight problem though - the VS Express C# IDE has, by default, disabled the build configuration and platform settings to present a simpler interface to beginners. In order to use this project template you need to re-enable these features and should probably have a reasonable understanding of what they do. This could be the reason that the XNA devs have mentioned that building for both platforms ...Show All

  Hello, I have the following code that I am using in the header part of my code to load pictures for a slide show. The pictures do not get loaded in IE7 until I manually refresh.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 2D retro side scroller with tilemap and collision detection

  having being a C# programmer for a number of years and a avid gamer I thought at trying to program a side scrolling shoot em up in C# with the XNA Game Studio beta. Some of the issues one encounters in 2D games are amonst other collision detection and a scrolling tilemap. 1. I'd like to know if someone have created a game library which features pixel perfect image-on-image collision detection of image of varying shapes, not only boxes or triangles 2. Is there any C#/dotnet tilemap library available of the great freeware Mappy ( http://www.tilemap.co.uk ) library If not, anything equivelant or similair I dont wanna reinvent the wheel concerning collision detection and tilemaps. Anyone who develops 2D games will run into collision ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Mid-tone - image processing

  Hi! Does anybody know how to do the mid-tone image adjustment It's in Microsoft Office Picture Manager... Please! Help me! Presumably, your question is: "how do I process an image/picture using VBExpress I would like to know how to adjust the mid-tones similar to what Office Picture manager does". I think your best bet would be to find the algorithms first, then come here when you need help implementing them in your image open/save/close code. I Believe Christian Graus may have posted a few links related to that sort of algorithm (image manipulation). A google search comes up with a few image manipulation links. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Row hiding

  In a report (rdlc) file I've got a table with a header row and two normal rows (for data). The table is connected to an array of objects. Under normal curcumstances I use both rows for a specific data entry, however for some instance I only need one row to display the data.

How can I specifiy this in the table I see there is a format property for the row but I dont know how hide a row if a condition is true. Appreciate any help. ...Show All

• SQL Server Accessing the Current Transaction in BOL (April 05')

  Here is the text I do not believe is correct or at the least misleading... "If you want to terminate the external transaction from within your stored procedure or function. In this case, you call the Transaction.Current.Rollback method. " You cannot terminate transactions declared in TSQL in SQLCLR routines. Derek- Thank you for pointing out this. We will work to update this BOL article! It is possible to terminate transactions declared within TSQL within SQLCLR routines, but it is recommended to manipulate them through the use of System.Transactions.TransactionScope. For example, this would rollback the current transaction: using(TransactionScope transactionScope = new Transacti ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE Interop

  Hi, I've been trying to write a Custom Download Manager for IE using C#. I've found some information here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/workshop/browser/ext/overview/downloadmgr.asp , but I can't figure out what CLSID I should refer to my managed library as, or if I need to register it or something. I don't have any experience in working with COM, so using a hybrid solution could be difficult for me. All suggestions are welcome. Reuben. Sorry if I was unclear, but I'm using C#, and all my code is managed, so there is no COM component for me to register. I registered my managed DLL (with the ComVisibleAttribute), and I know that IE is trying to load my library, be ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XAML and XNA

  Are there any plans to provide XAML support in XNA I realize some things are probably foreign to XNA's current design (like vector support), but even a subset of its functionality would be useful. Today, many studios use swf's (with proprietary playback engines or GameSWF) for UI and HUDs, but XAML would be perfect for that. I have some itty bitty XAML support in my own MDX engine, but it feels silly to develop a playback mechanism for it when MS has the original source and could integrate it with XNA (saving me lots of time). My second best hope is for the Anark Gameface playback engine to be integrated with XNA, that'll be good enough, but I don't think it'll happen very soon... Isn't WPF on top o ...Show All
