• Windows Forms app.application Publish file

  Hi, I know this has already been posted, but I need to get it clear in a simple way. The 'app'.application file is created when you publish an application to a web/ftp server, along with other files. The publish.htm page shows a button linking to the 'app'.application file and I can correctly install it, but a friend of mine (and maybe many more people too) get the 'app'.application file contents displayed in his browser. He has the .NET Framework 2.0 installed (installed automatically with VB 2005 Express), and I would like a simple solution to resolve this issue, without reinstalling .NET 2.0 (unless you are sure it resolves it). I also heard that it has to do with MIME types , but I'm not too familiar with this term to unders ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) svcutil and proxy authentication

  I'm currently sitting with a proxy between me and the internet that requires authentication (Ntlm AFAIK) and if I just invoke svcutil e.g. like this: C:\temp>svcutil http://services.msdn.microsoft.com/ContentServices/ContentService.asmx wsdl I get this error: The remote server returned an unexpected response: (407) Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy service is denied. ). The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Best Draw method for game level (Quake 1 in XNA)

  Does anyone can point me to right place for information on rendering my game when multiple textures are involve. I'm currently rewriting Quake 1 in XNA and I got he levels to load fine but its deadly slow. I do not use the vis yet so I render everything but its still should be pretty fast. If i render the level using only a single texture2d its pretty damn fast but for using multiple texture what I did is take all the triangles using the same textures and collecting them on startup. When im done loading and start to draw I loop in each of those triangles list, set the texture in my effect, fill the vertexbuffer and draw the primitives. thx for (i = 0; i < r_bsp.polygoneCollections.Length; i++) { if (r_bsp.polygoneCol ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Restart Manager and Windows Services

  Hi there, I'm trying to get rmtool.exe to shutdown a windows service, but it doesnt seem to handle the shutdown messages, even though there are three messages handlers that have been added to it, one for service control messages, one for ctrl-c messages and one handling windows messages, and still no response from my service. I think I might have the wrong syntax for closing a service with rmtool.exe, but I'm not sure. I'm running rmtool.exe from an admin command prompt. the test case says to use "rmtool.exe -f $dir|<service> -S" so I have tried different combinations, but the only time rmtool.exe seems to see the service process is when I use the executable file path, where I get this output: C:\folder> ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. incrementing a value over time?

  do you know how I can create a function that runs every second or know of one that runs every second so that I can use it as a means of incrementing a value over time, is their a way to do this, also code would be a big bonus. Create an "elapsed time" member variable in one of your classes - your Game class, for example.In your overridden Game.Update() method, update the member elapsed time using the GameTime that was passed in. When the member elapsed time has passed 1 (for one second), you know that one second has passed. Subtract the 1 second from the variable and then do whatever it is you wanted to do. Your Update() method, in your Game-derived class: protected override void Update(GameTime gameTime) { this.elapsedTime ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Grid sorting

  Hi; I have a grid which is populated with the results of a SQL query. I need to sort the grid depending on which column header the user clicks on. I have not done this ever and I was wondering which is the correct approach: - After I run the SQL query, run a series of 'index on' commands so I can use the indexes. - Run a secondary query on the results of the query to produce the proper order when user click a header. - Some other way - Which is probably the case :-) Thank you all. Hi Aleniko, Neither I've tried it... But I shall suggest you a approach. You can give it a try. Have a table with different tags (CDX). Mark this as the recordsource for the grid. Run your query to ...Show All

  how can i Deployment Projects include .net framework, please help me, thanks usually in the MSI installer project mode (non clickonce) the .NET Framework is downloaded automatically.

• Office Live Development Web site user authentication and Data Sharing

  I'm building a workspace application for my client base to use in their own Office Live sites. It holds extra data for my clients' projects that are associated with particular opportunities. For example, the workspace includes XML parts lists and JPG design images, each referencing an Opportunity ID in the WebBCM. This works nicely in-situ - I have a Dashboard for this workspace that allows me to select the relevant Opportunity and show the associated design images and renders the XML parts list through XLST. What I'd now like to do though, is for my clients to be able to share the images with each customer. The customer should only be able to see the images that are relevant to them. I may want to add other data from other lists too ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Debugging C++ Unmanaged code

  Hi, I have a problem while trying to debug my unmanaged C++ application using Visual Studio 2005 and with Windows Mobile 5. Basically, I am able to run the application in the debugger, and even step into methods etc. But, all of this requires the use of a breakpoint. Right at the moment I have a deadlock which I would like to debug. I can reproduce the deadlock "at will", and want to use the debugger to "Break All"/"Pause" the session and to see the Call Stack of each thread. I can indeed pause the debugging session but none of the call stacks are available for the threads. As near as I can figure the symbols are loaded correctly, since I can see the call stack if I place a breakpoi ...Show All

What is the best way of making this application Client - Server or p2p or other kind of structure In c# what is the class that support connect two application Thanks a lot for your help. I do appreciate it Best regard Ultimately you need to know when the other party moved or drew something on the board so you could replicate that on the other side. This is what I would do. 1. If you only need to involve two parties, a direct connection betwen them would do. So basically one of the machine acts as server and the second ma ...Show All
