• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Differences between Texture2D.FromFile() & Content.Load<Texture2D>

  Hello, I'm a new XNA and C# programmer and wondered if someone could explain to me the difference between using Texture2D.FromFile() or Content.Load<Texture2D> to load texture resources into an application Is there a benefit to using one approach over the other I looked into the XNA documentation but couldn't find any documentation the really differnetiated between the two approaches Thanks in advance for any insight, Kevin All that being said, I think I will replace my FromFIle() calls with Content.Load<> calls and see if that improves things. I like the idea of everything being self contained anyway. I was getting errors when trying to publish the app to a remote machine as ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions bored...vb and C?

  After taking a break from writing VB code, because with windows I have formatted my hard drive more times then my Visual Studio CD has been "misplaced" and I am not about to go purchase another visual studio, I decided to write a little java. My code is so strange sometimes with declarations of variable type first but no sign of a semi-colon anywhere. My comp throws a fit when I compile. Anyway I digress, I happen upon this nifty express version and something inside start feeling warm and tingly as I start hoping and praying that I can start making VB applications again without reinstalling Visual Studio. I have been writing almost non-stop in vb since I installed VBE :). After sometime I remember how to throw ...Show All

• .NET Development Error Removing Assembly

  I have an assembly installed in the gac and used via com by an asp web application. The method called uses a datareader to get a set of values from the db and closes the reader and connection via the CommandBehaviour.CloseConnection. When trying to remove the assembly I get a "Error Removing Assembly" dialog box which says: "There was an error removing YourAssembly". Any ideas why this might be happening are much appreciated. Thanks, Olja Sounds like the assembly is still being used in an AppDomain created by IIS.

You can use CreateMesh function and then Lock the VertexBuffer and IndexBuffer to copy your value You also need to use CreateMaterial and define one...(do this before calling CreateMesh so you can use it) You need to know the size of your vertex and index buffer so it's better to define them before the call to Createmesh Once you have this you call SaveMeshToFileX() ...Show All

• Windows Forms FormClosing-event doesn't fire if owner form is modal

  If a form (form1) is displayed with the .Showdialog method and this form has owned forms (form1a, form1b) which are displayed with the .Show method, the FormClosing-event does not fire in form1a and form1b when form1 closes. The reason why I open form1 modal is another bug: I have a big MS Access application which I gradually port to .NET. So there is a COM-Wrapper which calls certain parts of the .NET assemblies. When MS Access opens a .NET Form via this COM-Wrapper and the .NET form is not modal, the user cannot tab between the controls on the .NET form. Thanks Try this workaround in the modal form's FormClosing event: private void Form2_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e) { while (this.OwnedForms.GetLeng ...Show All
