• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Octree - Handling static geometry, primitive splitting

  Hi, I am using XNA to develop my game. I finally have a working octree where I can insert renderable objects based on their AABB, in my book it mentions that static geometry is best inserted into the octree and polygons should be split if they straddle. The thing I cant get my head around is, How do I best manage static geometry that makes it suitable for polygon splitting If I am using directX (.x) models, in XNA I end up with a Model object, I can get access to the vertex and index buffer, but I am confused at how I should manipulate the vertex data in order to split them when I build my octree. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Well, it depends on how accurate you want to be. I ...Show All

• Visual Studio how to combine two VSS DBs into one?

  I have successfully moved one VSS db to a new server, but now I have to add a second db to the same new location so the two separate dbs become one. The simple idea of just having two instances of VSS running with one db open in each and then dragging one to the other didn't work. What's the best way to do this TIA, Skugga If you simply want to combine the contents of two DBs, you can Get the root project from one DB and add those files into a project on the 2nd DB. However, if you want to maintain all of the change history as well, I can't think of a good way. You'd need to find or write a VSS -> VSS converter tool; I don't know of any. ...Show All

• .NET Development WSE3.0 in medium trust IIS - partially trusted caller error!

  I am having a hell of a time trying to solve this error. Stack trace is at the end. I am using WSE3 with a custom DLL to perform compression on the message body. The DLL is called WSCompression and can be found here: http://weblogs.shockbyte.com.ar/rodolfof/ When I test my web service through local web browser, the web service executes just fine. Its when I try to invoke the service from a fat client that I get the error listed below. If I change my IIS settings to be FullTrust, everything works fine, so I know its not my client. Here is everything I have tried so far: edited my local web_mediumtrust.config to grant full trust to: the web.config, my policyCache.config, the entire app the WSE3.0 dll in the bin folder of my webapp. I really ...Show All

• Windows Forms Yellow background appears when clicking controls

  Hi Guys I wondered if someone may be able to help me. I have quite a few windows forms applications that are written in vb.net and for some reason certain controls when they are selected render with a yellow background, a bit like how autofill on web pages does when you have the google toolbar installed. For example, click on a regular textbox and the inside goes yellow, click on a listbox and the whole inside goes yellow, click on a combobox and the inside of textarea and the dropdown go yellow. These are just standard windows forms controls, no custom drawing going nothing. I don't the google toolbar installed (not that would affect a windows forms application anyway). I am at a complete loss. Has anyone else ever seen this ...Show All

• Visual Basic VBA or .NET?

  Hi, I'm planning on making an add-in for Powerpoint 2003, a customized toolbar that would extend the functionality of Powerpoint (custom color palette, dynamically creating slides, etc.). Would you recommend using VBA or .NET (VSTO and Visual Studio 2005) Thanks, Pete Could you give me some more details please I've been speaking to Microsoft MVP Jonathan West and he's been telling me that VBA would be the better choice for the following reasons: VSTO 2005 has no special tools for Powerpoint VSTO 2005 SE only works for Office 2007 (not Office 2003) COM add-ins are a pain with .NET Accessing the Powerpoint object model with VBA would be easier than with .NET for this specific project What do you think o ...Show All

• Visual C# SFCisFileProtected always returns false when implemented in C#

  I've been running around in circles with the SfcIsFileProtected api I am invoking in a very simple console app I wrote in C#. The problem is that no matter what file name I enter SfcIsFileProtected always returns false. I am using a wfplist.exe from here http://www.jensign.com/hash/ that enumerates all protected files on xp so I know I am checking files that are protected. My belief is that I am some how passing the path name into SfcIsFileProtected incorrectly. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, please see what I am doing below. PS, I want this to work on Vista as well so I must use this api to check for file protection. while(true) { Console .Write( "enter a file name: " ); path ...Show All

• Visual C# How to get names of Columns without datatype?

  Hi, i want to get the columnname of an dataset, but without the datatype attached. The dataset is filled by the readxml-method and the columnname looks like this: defaultUser_text My xml-file contains this: <defaultUser>admin</defaultUser> Is there a way to rip off the _text or do i have to cut it the dirty way, manually Thank you. Ya, you can simple call the column name that way. In order to get rid of that u can use the "String.split" method to split the back part off and take the front one. string Splitter=DataSet.Tables[0].Rows[index].ColumnName.split('_'); Splitter[0] -> defaultUser Splitter[1] -> text its better not to rip off the text this way, i ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) TCP Streaming - Performance Issue (RTM)

  We have been testing a simple scenario with different WCF bindings to see the performance benefits. The scenario is that client makes a call to a web service with numer of customer objects to return in an array. The service simply creates as many objects as required by the client and send them to client. The customer object is a simple class with 2 public properties, firstname and last name. Each of these names is set to a distinct value in each of the customer objects before returning to client. We set maximum times for send and receive timeouts. We also made sure that there are no message size, maximum depth related problems etc. We used a System.Diagnostics.StopWatch class to measure the time from the time client initiates the reques ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Possibilities of SmartTags in Office

  Hi, I created a SmartTag -List in XML with the SmartTag SDK. My SmartTag works great in Word, Excel and Power Point.

• Visual Basic String problem

  Here's a newbie question: I'm trying to concatenate several strings into one long insert statement string. That works fine until the string reaches 250 characters. After that only one character is added and that is not the next character I want to add. I didn't think the string datatype in Visual Basic was restricted to 250 characters. My code goes something like this: sqlstmt = "INSERT INTO " & TableName() & ".KLV32001 VALUES (" sqlstmt = sqlstmt & ToDBText(C_BRUKER_ID) & ", " sqlstmt = sqlstmt & CLng(cIUS.Til_avtale) & ", " sqlstmt = sqlstmt & ToDBText(aDate) & ", " sqlstmt = sqlstmt & ToDBText(atime) & ", " sqlst ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can't modify assembly properties in deployment project

  I have a deployment project with a number of assemblies in the file system application folder. These assemblies have been placed there as a result of adding the primary outputs from several projects. Some assemblies are referenced by more than one project, and as a result are listed twice (and cannot be deleted). This causes the warning "Two or more objects have the same target location" to be generated when the project is built. I can stop this warning by giving each of the duplicated assemblies a different condition, and this works fine - until I close Visual Studio. It then turns out that the condition property has not been saved - it has dissapeared. In fact, it seems that any property change on these assemblies takes eff ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF Text blurry

  Hi, I'm wondering if this is a known problem: I have a multi monitor setup and whenever I move a WPF window from one screen to the other the text becomes totally blurred. Also, moving the window across to the other screens is very slow. Sometimes, this blurry text effect also appears on the main monitor, for example when I expand a combo box, etc. Anybody knows what's going on there Thanks, Tom RE: performance of multi-adapter, multi-monitor system Tom and I followed up offline, I have been unable to repro the performance issue with a similar multi-monitor-multi-adapter-multi-IHV configuration.
