• Visual C# Build Error MSB3021

  Hello Not sure if this is the right forum but... I have been working on a project for a while now and have been able to build both debug and release compiles. Suddenly, I cannot build any thing! I get the following error: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Microsoft.Common.targets(2313,9) : error MSB3021: Unable to copy file "obj\Debug\MyProj1.dll" to "bin\Debug\MyProj1.dll".

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Pixel Perfect Collision, working...kinda

  So I spent the night working up a way to do pixel perfect. Here is what I'm doing. Sudo. Init spite with texture Int32[,] = new Int32[texture.width,texture.height]; I then scan the texture data using GetData<Int32> and load in into the two-dimensional array above. So now I have these two arrays filled with the values from the texture, they come out like 16777215, -16711936 which is where my first question comes in. If i'm grabbing this data from GetData as an Int32(any other thing I can grab it as ) how can I tell what this color is, what do these numbers mean Anyways, from trial and error I figured out 16777215 was transparent so now I made a big *** loop to go through the two sprites and check to see if any pixels are both not tra ...Show All

• Windows Forms key-value for ContextMenu

  Hi, I have problems with combobox because they take the focus and that send the event  'Leave' in my opened forms (within my MDI) and if I put a combobox into a toolbar, the behavior is wierd when I try to send BringToFront() a form (It still takes the focus). So, I figured that a ContextMenu would solve my problem because it doesn't take the focus but I never managed to make a bindingsource to work with it. I created a typed dataset that I bound to a BindingSource (DataSource = to the typed dataset and DataMember = the table in the DataSet). Then I go to DataBindings, I set the text property to be linked with the Value Column from the Binding source. When I assign a constructed DataSet to ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. User Friendly?

  Hey is this SDK userfriendly to someone who doesn't know the first thing of Visual C# As in, do you need to learn C# for Visual Game Studio Express Yes, you do need to have a medium skill level in C# to develop with XNA. C# though is a very friendly language so don't be intimidated by that. Find a local college course, check out some books from the library, hit some sites up on line and you'd be ready to tackle XNA in just a short time if you really apply yourself. ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums [Access 2000] Error when importing text files of certain extensions

  Hi all, encountered a problem when converting a Access 97 database to Access 2000. When running functions in certain forms that do importing or exporting of text files, via the Transfertext command, the following error message occurs: "Can't update. Database or object is read-only" This only happens when I import text files that do not have the extensions txt, csv, tab, asc, htm or html. ( http://support.microsoft.com/ kbid=247861 ), including files with no extensions. I've tried to resolve the problem by editing the relevant registry entries mentioned in the MS support page, but it didn't work. Updating to the latest MS Jet 3.5 service pack didn't work also. Has anyone encountered the same problem, and managed ...Show All

• SQL Server Help with cube measures

  I'm relatively new to AS but have managed to get a data mart, dimensions and cubes up and running in AS 2005 (SP1). I'm having difficulty trying to do something seemingly easy with respect to measures. One of my dimensions is Accounts. I have about 7 additional dimensions including Time. I have 5 measures. One of these measures is heavily used most all of the time. I need to filter this measure by the Account dimension to include only measures >= <defined_number>. The other measures should reflect this change also, but I also need to analyze other dimensions with or without the Accounts dimension in the crosstab. I need this to be put in the aggregations, not a temporary dynamic calculation. Aside from doing this at the database l ...Show All

• Visual C++ COM Port event handling

  Hi all, I am trying to use COM port by writing codes using combinations of DCB, CreateFile, ReadFile, WriteFile, CreateEvent, WaitCommEvent etc. I also want to monitor EV_RLSDS event for detecting carrier (which is well known as CD you know). My questions are, 1. Can I use MSComm control for all these purposes or not 2. Is there any limitation of using MSComm control instead of code Your suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks. -efarook hint 1: Don't use MSComm. Use CreateFile and the basic I/O hint 2: Use a class for CSerial I/O like the one you find here http://www.naughter.com/serialport.html ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Converting from a string to Texture2D

  I am new to XNA and have been playing around a little bit with a project. I am currently trying to call .Draw on a SpriteBatch object and dynamically set the paramater for the Texture2D. The line of code looks like this: spriteBatch.Draw(<Some String Here>, new Rectangle (currentMaze[0, 0].position.X, currentMaze[0, 0].position.Y, falseFalseFalseTrue.Width, falseFalseFalseTrue.Height), Color .White); This piece of code would be in a loop and the name of the Texture2D paramater would change. I tried the following line of code: spriteBatch.Draw((Texture2D)<String here>, new Rectangle (currentMaze[0, 0].position.X, currentMaze[0, 0].position.Y, falseFalseFalseTrue.Width, falseFalseFalseTrue.Height), Color .White); ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to get more info about port using System.IO.Ports.SerialPort

  I need to programatically find the particular port that is associated with my device (which is connected though a USB adapter). After inserting the USB connection for the device, a new port is displayed in the Device Manager under the "Ports (COM & LPT)" heading. The new port displays in the following manner: " Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COM5) ". When I use SerialPort.GetPortNames() all I get is "COM5". I can't figure out how to get the "Prolific USB-toSerial" part that is displayed in the Device Manager. Anyone know how to grab that thanks much, Ryan Try using the SerialPort.GetPortNames() method to find out which ports are available. Yo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is there an equivalent of NUnit's Category feature?

  Just wondering if there is a way to categorize unit tests I was poking around the TestView tool window and didn't see anything. Hi, Test View allows you to group by several fields which will give you real time categorization. If you are looking for archived categorization, that feature comes in the Team Edition for Testers in the Test Manager tool window in VS2005. In the upcoming Beta 1 of the next VS (as well as in the latest CTP) you'll find that tool in the Team Dev Edition too. Cheers, David ...Show All
