• Visual C++ Compile C++ code To .Bin File

  Hi. can I compile C++ code with VC++ or VC.Net to a BIN file How thanks.

I will Search about *.bin & VC tools for my project. thanks "Simple Samples","Marius Bancila ", "Brian Kramer" What microcontroller is it From my knowledge (I work in a company that does a lot of embedded programming), there are very few C++ compilers that target embedded systems. Most embedded programming is done in embedded C. Basically, there are C compilers for most of available microcontrollers. So, question is, do you actually intend to use C++ or C ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How do I turn on antialiasing?

  I'm sure the answer is right in front of my face, but I just can't seem to figure it out. I scoured all the various RenderStates in the GraphicsDevice and just can't figure it out. Can anyone let me know how I turn on antialiasing in my XNA app hmm... I guess the problem is with my video card. In the control panel, antialiasing is set to Application-controlled. When I force 2x or 4x or 8x antialiasing from the control panel, my XNA app antialiases just fine. When I leave it on Application-controlled, its jaggy-city. EDIT: my video card in question is an Nvidia GeForce Go 6200, stuck with driver version 70.87 until hell freezes over and Sony decides to update the driver ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Higher End games being developed on XNA?

  From what i've seen and read, a lot of people are using XNA to develop more simple arcade and sprite based games. I am building a development team at the moment and was wondering if there were any other games in development using XNA that would be considered more intensive. By intesnive I mean something along the lines of a FPS featuring HDR lighting, complicated physics solutions, etc. I'm just trying to make sure that XNA has the capabilites built in to develop a high end game. Any projects currently in development that I can reference would be awesome. FYI: I'm an artist, so reading the technical mumbo jumbo doesnt help much... I'm not aware of any pure .NET solutions for things like physiques engin ...Show All

• Visual C# SqlParametersCollection only accepts non null paremater types

  Trying to pass parameters to an Sql Stored Procedure I got this error (the first parameter: Table name): SqlParametersCollection only accepts non null parameter type objects, not String objects. I do not understand it. I do have string parameters and I have null parameters, some of them may well be null. What am I going to do about it Thanks. Mario, thank you very much. While you were posting your message I seemed to have solved the problem. I mentioned this is my post. There is another problem down the road. It is in that post too. Now my parameters are fine. both string and null parameters are supported. What you are doing is probably something like: MySqlCommand.Parameters.Add ("This is the value to be passed&q ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Controller (GamePad) Functions Sample Application

  I finally got time to write my first XNA program. I also wanted to figure out how to write text to the screen, so I thought that this would be a good application. This is a very simple program and my first XNA application, so it's a little brute force in the source code. Also, I probably should have used bounding rectangles on one "button pressed" texture instead of a separate texture for each button. Let me know what you think... Download xbox360controller.zip OK, the screen shot didn't come out and the file can't be downloaded.  I've contacted www.xnaspot.com so see if they can put up a picture and host the source for download. you can get the screen shot at http://www.patrickjbennett.com/pics/sc ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Using merged ResourceDictionaries with theme-specific ResourceDictionaries

  Hi everyone, I have a scenario that I'm having trouble coming to grips with, and I hoped that someone here might know a solution. I know that you can have different ResourceDictionaries and combine them, for example: \Resources\ControlResources.xaml \Resources\WizardResources.xaml \Resources\ConverterResources.xaml I also know that you can make theme-specific resource dictionaries, and the runtime will decide which one to apply: \Themes\Luna.NormalColor.xaml \Themes\Aero.NormalColor.xaml \Themes\Classic.xaml \Themes\Generic.xaml Now, my question is, how can I mix the two For example, in my theme-specific resource dictionaries, I'd like to create a bunch of SolidColorBrushes and other settings that change for each theme ...Show All
