• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Who is using XACT?

  If you are using or considering XACT for your product, could you let us know Recently we heard from a developer who was about ready to ship an XACT title, and we had no idea. We try to provide as much direct support to early adopters as we can, help them with any problems they bump into, etc; we can also adjust and prioritize our features based on real-world usage. So, if you're using XACT "secretly", please come out the woodwork and let us know, and maybe we can help. Thanks!

• 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 Wooo!!! Got it. Andrew got it in his second post above. Its the Graphics.InterpolationMode that you want. Set it to NearestNeighbour. It means you have to use a ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Get notification of CD or USB stick insert in WPF application

  Hi everybody, is there a way to get a notification in a WPF application when a new CD / DVD was inserted or a USB-stick was attached In WinForms I would intercept the WM_DEVICECHANGE event but I would like to know if there is a more elegant way without switching to windows forms in WPF. Thanks, Tobias I tried to use OldDino's code, but there is no definiton of " EventTypes" . I found somewhere this definition: public enum EventTypes { DRIVE_CONNECTED = 0x02, DRIVE_DISCONNECTED = 0x03 } and it's works, but I still don't know what do you mean by "StorageMediaType", could you give some code of this enum The second, and more important problem is how to ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista change integrity level

  Hi, All I want to start a process with medium integrity level from a low integrity level process. From http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/ietechcol/dnwebgen/protectedmode.asp , I found an example which starts a lower integrity level process instead and use the following hard coded Low integrity SID of "S-1-16-4096". What's the value for other integrity levels' SID(medium|high|system) I searched June CTP's SDK and document, but didn't find anything. One more thing is that also following an example from above link, I try to lower the integrity level of a named pipe in the same process which created it, but I got error code 5(access denied).

• Visual Studio Team System Help needed to resolve a Windows Group/User when trying to add them in Team Foundation Server

  Hello All, When I try to add a Group or User from the domain, I get an error message that Team Foundation Server can't resolve the group or user name. The Virtual Server where the Team Foundation server resides, is on the domain so I am not sure where I need to make a change. Thanks in advance :) Bob Hanson Adam is correct that the required permission is read. The App Tier Service user needs to be able to read the active directory user/group object for every user and group referenced by TFS. The place where this often causes problems in when a one way trust is involved. If the Service user is not able to read AD objects in one of the domains, you will not be able to add users and groups from that domain. --Matt Hoover ...Show All

• SQL Server Realtime record count for table...

From the same query window as the script, I have run both of the following statements. select count(*) from mytesttable witn (nolock) select count(*) from mytesttable witn (tablock) Instead of getting the answer immediately, they run only after the original script has completed. They seem to be "blocked". How can I get a near realtime count of the number of records in this table while the script populates the table ...Show All

• Architecture Windows Application Versus Web Site

  I need to develop an application that reads from and writes to a database housed in a SQL Server located in an Intranet. I am using Visual Studio 2005 (VB). I can see that there are two possible routes to the development - as a Windows Application or as a Web Site. I will be most grateful if some body out there could advise me on which option route to take and perhaps why. Regards.
