• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Utter newbie wanting to run code

  I've written the basic "first app" as per the instructions given. I'm trying to get it to run but for the life of me I can't find the way to build and run it. The only option available is to build it, which doesn't actually run it. I've tried to publish it but it presents me with an error when I set it up. How do I actually run the app Also: Can you import a ".x" mesh with textures Is there the facility to use a "virtual camera" as a point of view Any help appreciated thx! [moved to GSE forum] The way to run it is either Debug/Start debugging, press f5 or press the 'play' button on the tool bar (little green triangle). Now I think about it not having the ...Show All

Hi, apologise if i shouldn't write it here but i'm with a similar problem in similar enviorenment (VS2005, BTS 2k6).

• Visual Studio Problems with VS2005 ans VSS 6.0d

  Hi all, I am having some problems to source control my project using VS2005 over a VSS6.0 database. I have been working with VS2003 and VSS6 and I didn't have any integration problems.

Does anyone have any idea on what is the problem here Thanks in advance, -Vicky I have a similar setup to OP. I have vss6 and have been using it successfully in vs2003 for some time.

• Visual Basic Enter Button for a Field

  I read in another thread about this but I didnt get what was said...so ill reask this: I have a form. I want the form to activate a button after the user has typed some text and pressed enter. Thanks Dman that worked! But I have a few questions: 1) I recall reading about key up and key down. What are they for Apparently they are for when a person presses a key 2) This situation has it when the person presses the enter key. What code should I use for other keys For example, what would I write for *...asterisk ...what about capital M ...just write "M" Can you explain the code you used I want to understand it and use it for the future, not just copy it...like for example, e.keycode refers to the key pressed ...why just KeyUp ...Show All

• Visual C# referencing a custom class instance

  Mine is a .NET C# app on VS2005. I have a "main" form class Form1 and a number of classes that are used on demand. One of them is CandlePlot . CandlePlot is instantiated in a function Funct1 which is called by a Click method. Funct1 creates the plot and places it on a newly generated TabPage. So far so good. Most of the code plot related I downloaded as a demo from NPlot.com website. It is great and honest software. I just need to improve it introducing some dynamic elements which appear to be absent in the original. The CandlePlot Class has DataSource property. Inside Funct1 where the Class CandlePlot is instantiated I initialize this property by assigning a DataTable to it. The DataTable is supplied as a parameter in a li ...Show All

• Windows Forms Change cursor from Cursors.WaitCursor

  I've created a simple form that has some labels, text boxes, and two buttons.  Currently there is no code except Application.Exit on the Exit button.  When I compile and run this project, it launches the form and shows a WaitCursor.  The WaitCursor never changes to an Arrow.  I am able to click in the text boxes and enter text as well as click on my two buttons even though the cursor is a WaitCursor. I tried changing the Cursor property of the form, but after I make the change it reverts back to WaitCursor.  I also tried changing the Cursor property for each of the controls but it immediately reverts back to WaitCursor.  I've also tried changing it in code: Private Sub frmMain_Load( ByVal sende ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) What template for unusual TreeView layout?

  As already mentioned in another thread I have a list of items with each item having their own list of always 2 sub items. I have them displayed as a ListBox with another Listbox for each item. This has some problems: 1) when I click on an main item it doesn't remove the focus of the selected sub items in one of the other sub list boxes and I end with 2 separate selections on different items (example: main item 1 is shown selected at the same time as sub item 3.1 is also shown selected). The reverse problem is there as well, when I select a sub item inside of one of the not selected main items, this main item is not selected, only the sub item. 2) I cannot easily data bind to the currently selected sub item from other contr ...Show All

• Visual C++ When to use deprecated strcpy function

  Hi, Wat are the cases where in we have to use strncpy or some othr deprecated function for strcpy in VC++ 8. Does these cases need using the deprecated functions char buffer[200]; char* dest; strcpy(dest,buffer); and strcpy(( char *) pTarget, ( const char *) m_strPhoneNumber) Please suggest me on this Thanks & Regards, Sorry, the partial quote was accidental on my part--you did qualify your statement with the alternative of using std::string.  I think the C++ runtime is not relevant anyway.  The Secure CRT is not so much about introducing a new way to write C code (meaning code that calls into the CRT) than it is to force developers to ensure the safety of their existing C code. ...Show All
