• Visual C++ Arrays of Strings

  Hi folks, I'm writing a .NET Winforms project in Managed C++ using Visual Studio 2003 and I'm wondering how I go about having multi-dimensional arrays for String objects I'm vaguely aware of the Array Class, but I'm not sure if this needs to be part of my solution. I've tried a few experiments using the classic C++ method of creating multidimensional arrays, but (of course) this does not work owing to the managed restrictions of the language. In any case, I just need a little direction here - do I need the Array class or is the syntax for this a bit different than what you might expect -Zero In VS2003 you need something like this (tested in VS2005 with /clr:oldSyntax because I don't have VS2003 ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista EnqueueItem from within a code activity

  Is it possible to call wfInst.EnqueueItem from within a code activities execute method As I was trying to do this the thought occurred to me that I would need the runtime to get the workflow instance using my instance ID. But, is it permissible to even get the WF runtime from within an activity because of the things the WFruntime allows you to do Thanks! The cleaner way IMO is to derive your local service from WorkflowRuntimeService. This base class provides the workflow runtime via a property that you can access using "this" and you need not pass anything to the constructor. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. BoundingBox for Models

  Hi, I'm very much used to using Geometry.ComputeBoundingBox() from MDX 1.1 and am wondering where the equivalent in XNA is. My problem at the moment is that my models are having their centres placed at Y coordinate 0, so half is above ground and half is below ground. My solution has always been to compute the bounding box and simply raise the mesh by the amount that the min vertex is below the ground. (So minVertex.Y = 0). The BoundingBox has a constructor that takes a List of Vector3s, but this would presumably mean iterating over every ModelMesh in a Model, reading out the Vertex data from the VertexBuffer and extracting the x,y,z values for each vertex... this seems rather long winded I've seen a lot of people talking about ...Show All

• Visual Studio How would you improve MSBuild?

  Hello MSBuild Users, Just a reminder that we're always interested in suggestions for improving MSBuild. For small suggestions, the best route is via opening a suggestion at https://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/Search.aspx SiteID=210 . If there's a small change or improvement you'd like to see, that isn't really a bug, I'd encourage you to open a suggestion there: we can track it, and if it's possible, appropriate, and we have time, we'll address it. For big suggestions ("please implement distributed build", "please add native code support") that's probably not a good way. Instead I'd suggest you let us know via this forum -- for example, by replying to this post. The team would like to know what's important to you and wha ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to orientate an object along a given heading.

  Hi all, I have a problem getting my 3D objects to orientate correctly in world space. I have a Heading, Up, and Right vector for my object and can't figure out the math to rotate it so that it is looking down the arbitrary heading and keep its up and right ok. I'm trying to get projectiles to follow their own heading which were the same as the camera initially, but now the camera has moved off somewhere else. I've tried to use the CreateLookAt() method, but I think this applies to camera only and does some extra jiggery-pokery. Does anyone have any ideas / code example on how to do this Regards, Stee If I use CreateLookAt() I can't see anything at all so I've assumed it does some jiggery- ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Still a bit slow opening projects

  Hello, As mentioned before, the import schema process is extremely fast now, which was pleasantly surprising, however opening an existing project with lots (>5,000) of objects still takes a long time. This is also without using source control and so I'm guessing it would take up to 10 minutes to open if I put my project into TFS / VSS. Is there any way to speed up the opening process, e.g. by disabling particular schema checks when first opening the project Hmm, seems to be pretty level. It first does both of: Deserializing design-time validation database Deserializing Database Object Relationships Which table about the same length of time each (~1.5 mins), then the status bar is cleared and i ...Show All
