• Visual Studio Team System CA1706 problem

  Hi, I have several user controls which I have renamed to conform to the FxCop rules under visual studio 2005. However when I run code analysis I still get informed that modules_uc_title_ascx is named wrongly. I've search for this word in my entire project and not found it and the results do not show which file this is occuring in. I tried suppressing this message on the user control itself but still shows. Why is this and how can I find it to fix it Ta Paul Hi Paul, sounds like you're running analysis over a website, is this correct In that case, is there a file named uc.title.ascx or something simular If so, please ignore this violation as the name is autogenerated.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Reading texture from a stream

  Hi, im trying to find out if there is a way to read a texture from a stream, im reading from a large file which holds loads of texture files (DXT1 and DXT3 mainly), all the information about the texture is given and then you are given the texture data. So far i have been reading the data using a binary reader and unpacking the colors into A8R8G8B8 format to use when rendering. My question is since i know all the texture info is it possible to read the texture and use it in it's original format without the overhead of converting Thanks for any help. Have you tried TextureLoader.FromStream It should work as long as your textures use one of the supported formats. For DXTx DDS would be ...Show All

• SQL Server How to create a RTF field ?

  How can I save the text of a rich text box in a sql express 2005 datatable Of course I'd like to save the string and the format of the text (bold, color etc...). Which column type I have to use for this RTF field Thank you. hi, Thank you for your response. In fact, my problem was I directly bind the text property and not the Rtf property of my rich text box to the sql field.

• Visual C# private fields, public properties...why??

  Why is it preferred to have private fields and use public properties to access and/or set the variable values Some of the books i have read do explain why...but only vaguely. Does anyboday know the real 'life threatening' type reason why we should do things this way Thanks add verastility to the list of reasons why. you could add a property to a class that takes a single type as parameter and the value off that parameter could effect several member fields. eg. foo.Position = "200,200" ; Position is a property of foos type that takes a formatted string, verifys the value and stores the result in the private field x and y. Oh and it fires an event to any listners that t ...Show All
