• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Unified Input

  It's my biggest gripe about XNA and directx, there's no unified input...   I don't have a 360 controller hooked to my pc, not even sure if that is possible... is it Anyhow, since i took the whole unified input idea from Lynn T Harrison's book, i'll share it here in hopes that people can email me suggestions and feedback. The enum translations aren't finished yet and the InputManager is a singleton (i'm on a singleton kick lately don't know why), and obviously the gamepad implementation isn't finished.  Hopefully you can sortof see where i was headed with the 360 implementation...   wel here it is, i guess email me at jhered at yahoo com if you have suggestions.   Peter D. wrote: ...Show All

• Visual Studio Changing the AssemblyName property causes referenced projects output assemblies to have the same exact name?

  Basically here is what I am seeing: I have a C# Winforms application (MainProject) that references 2 other projects (Project1, Project2). When I call the Build target for MainProject.csproj with a new AssemblyName (Test) it builds Project1 and Project2 and tries to output their assemblies as Test.dll (rather than Project1.dll and Project2.dll as specified in the project properties) < MSBuild Projects = " MainProject.csproj " Targets = " Build " Properties = "AssemblyName=Test;" /> This leads to the following error because because Project1 is version 1.0.11.0 and Project2 is version 1.0.2.0.

• Smart Device Development Bluetooth anyone???

  Does anyone have or know of where I can obtain exaples of bluetooth communication set up in vb.net I am attempting to set up communications between a bluetooth mobile printer and a handheld device, so if the example where compatable with the compact framework I would be that much more excited. I have been looking for a while now and have hit a few dead ends (dead links) and am begining to get frustrated. I am suprised at the lack of information on the topic considering how great the technology is and how many hardware solutions are out there. If you are sure, that your device have Microsoft Bluetooth stack you can find some free libraries (start from OPENNETCF). But if the targets are many different models PDAs you can use only thes ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Getting started with video and animated 3D

  Hi. I need to put together an application that renders 3D graphics on top of video in realtime. I know the 3D camera positions that I want to use for each frame, so I need to be able to synchronize a specific video frame with 3D content for that frame. Is this possible in WPF In addition, the user should be able to play, pause and seek the video, always seeing the correct 3D graphics blended onto each video frame. Could someone tell me whether this sounds feasible for WPF, and if so, could you point me at some of the ingredients I will need - e.g. how to synchronize 3D content to video frames, and how to animate camera position/orientation over a scene. (In the old days, I did this with DirectShow and native Direct3D.) Thank ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Function trouble

  I have a Function that contains a calculation. The calculation pulls a number from a column to the left (let's call it "x"). For some reason it is not automatically calculating when "x" changes. I tried to input a Calculate at the end of the function but it still doesn't automatically change when the "x" changes. Any help is greatly appreciated! Any chance you could paste some code here I'm not quite following. From the sounds of it you are trying to execute your Calculate() method when x changes... is there an event that you can subscribe to to be informed of when it changes Is it changed in another method If so... can you call Calculate() from there If Calculate() i ...Show All

• Visual C# Console problem. New, I swear.

  I am testing TCP connections locally on my PC. I created two forms: Server and Client. I start the Server form first. There is code for AllocConsole in both of these Widnows Forms applications.: [DllImport ( "kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true )] [return: MarshalAs ( UnmanagedType.Bool )] Static extern bool AllocConsole ( ); After testing some methods unsuccessfully for a day or so I downloaded a few classes from MSDN site describing server side code: ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.vAug06.en/dv_fxnetwork/html/13624cd3-f5c5-4950-8cda-31273b1fa6d1.htm I made some slight modifications, essentially negligible.

• Visual C++ C1083 Permission denied
