• Visual Studio Team System Code Coverage for User Controls

  Is it possible to perform Code Coverage Analysis for User Controls in Visual Studio Team System. If Yes, do we need to do any thing different from that what is needed for normal Windows control Yes. It is indeed possible to perform code coverage for user controls. What I missed during my earlier analysis was that we need to add the assembly file for user control explicity in the code coverage artifact list. ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums .onAction assign value

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Displaying textured 3D objects

  Hi there, I've been working my way through the tutorials at http://xna101.spaces.live.com/ , and I am stuck on lesson 16, the first 3D tutorial. The download of die.x didn't work, so I whipped up my own little 3D cube in Blender and applied a simple 64x64 pixel texture to it and saved it in DirectX format as cube.x. I was able to add it to my Project fine, but when I try to compile the program, it has all sorts of trouble understanding any texture I put on the thing. It will say the texture file is not found in the debug/bin directory; or it will give me other error messages about the structure of the texture file. I tried saving the cube as cube.3ds and cube.x3d and whatnot, and none of that worked. (Indeed, the Project didn't even rec ...Show All

• .NET Development Event Bubbling

  Please explain with example the concept of event-bubbling. The "concept" for event-bubbling is quite a simple one. All you are doing is trapping an event and then forwarding (bubbling) it back up the chain. For example, if you are wrapping the functionality of a class (A) into a more generic class (B), then you may want the user interface (C) to respond to the events of A. The way this is achieved is that class B handles the event, in the handler you would raise the same event again for class B, using the arguments returned by class A. The user interface will then listen for the event in question being raised by class B. This is more apparent when the user interface has access to class B, but not ...Show All

• .NET Development Escaping decimal points in regular expressions

  I'm trying to do something that ought to be very simple. I'm trying to test whether a string (which is an argument to a command) is a valid value of the type I need. That is, I want it to be convertable to a double and be in the range 0.1-1.0. I have this line in my code: Regex ValidPause = new Regex("^((1\.0)|(0\.[1-9]))$"); The problem is that VS marks the string as bad and gives me the message "Unrecognized escape sequence." If I take out the backslashes, the red squiggly line goes away, but then it matches "0x0", which is obviously not what I want. How should I escape the decimal points correctly Actually, it does work to match what I meant it to match. I just wonder, si ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Changing colors of a texture on the fly?

  Let's say I have a black and white image and I want to be able to replace the white in the image with another random color on the fly. How would I go about doing this Would it also be possible to replace BOTH colors at the same time You could do this in a pixels shader. something like color = tex2D(....) finalColor = color * colorW + (1-color) * colorB; this will replace the white with colorW, and the blacks with colorB ...Show All

  im looking for a starter kit to handle a risk like game of terratory conquest. if anyone knows a good spot please let me know. ive done searches but havent found much. thanks There really isn't one. I can think of about 5 ways to implement a Risk-like game off the top of my head, all different. Your best bet is to learn game programming fundamentals. From there, I don't think you'll have any trouble implementing a game like that. When it comes to game programming, there are no real "short cuts". Even with a "starter kit", you still need to master the fundamentals. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Newbie About Box Question

  I added the about box template to my project. I went ahead and changed all the labels to fit my project. I'm using Form f = new AboutBox1 (); f.ShowDialog(); to display the form but when run all the labels are back to using their default values. I know I can change them in code after I create the forum, I'm just curious why this isn't working the way my brain expects it to. Thanks... Darren DRamey wrote: Ahem, I just figured out the problem after composing a 3 paragraph reply. I never did bother checking to see if there were any default values being assigned in the code of the about box itself.. Nevermind! Thanks for the reply anyway, it got me thinking :) When you solve a question by yoursel ...Show All
