• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problem loading a Blender exported .X file

  I've been searching these forums and on Google looking for a solution to my problem but have yet to find an answer. I have created a simple model in Blender and now I want to load it into XNA. From within Blender I use the DirectX exporter which creates a .X text file (not binary). I then add that to my XNA project (essentially just following the first 3D tutorial in the XNA help). However, upon trying to compile and run the program I get the error message "Could not read the X file. The file is corrupt or invalid. Error code: D3DXFERR_BADFILETYPE". I have tried a number of different combinations with the exporting settings in Blender, but I always get the same result. I found a tutorial on the web that had a .X file for download ...Show All

• .NET Development Sound volume level

  Hi All, I'm looking for a way to detect the main sound output volume level so that if it crosses a certain threshold i can perform some action (like turn speakers on and off hooked up to an external relay). I've been googling all night but can't find anything to help me, any ideas I think *maybe* Managed directX could be a possible way of doing it. I'll move this thread over to the DirectX 101 forums but apologies to the subform if its in the incorrect forum. Best wishes! ...Show All

• Windows Forms Designer won't accept custom ToolBoxItem on drag drop

  I successfully created a Tool box that uses the plain ToolboxItem and I can drag items from my toolbox to the design surface just fine. I need to customize the object before it gets to the design surface. Like say, set the color or something. From my reading, it seems the way to do this is with a custom ToolboxItem. So I made a class derived from ToolboxItem, but when I drag it over the design surface it won't accept the item. Two questoins 1. Is building a custom toolboxitem the correct way to go about this and if so 2. How do I get the design surface to accept custom toolboxitems Thanks Martin, Once I understood the order things were happening, it was easy. Thank you for your help. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Templates overloades and specializations

  I want to create a function that returns the absolute value of a number. This number could be real (int, double, etc) or complex (of real, double, etc). I currently have the following: //--------------------------------------------------------------------- template<class data_t> data_t myAbs(data_t x) { return ((x > 0) (x):(-x)); } //--------------------------------------------------------------------- template<class data_t> data_t myAbs<complex<data_t> >(complex<data_t> x) { return (sqrt(x.real() * x.real() + x.imag() * x.imag())); } //--------------------------------------------------------------------- This compiles.

• .NET Development Fatal Flaw in the Large Object Heap?

  Hi All, After playing with the GC I find the following interesting. The problem domain I typically work in requires the allocation of very large arrays for image processing. We have discovered some issues when our processes are long running. We run out of memory and can not reclaim it. Our only recouse is to restart our processes. In an effort to discover why I uncovered the following: The LOH (Large Object Heap) is never compacted. I think this is a fatal flaw in the GC. I understand MS stated reason for this, but shouldn't there be someway to compact the LOH if necessary, at least a method call that forces the issue Does anyone know of anything that can be done Any workaround is better than killing the process... Here is a demo ...Show All

• .NET Development remoting client not connecting to server

  I have a remoting situation where everything works fine at our office - the remoting client connects with the remoting server, but at my client's site, it will not. We are using a workgroup here, no domain. At my client's site, on a domain managed by server2003, the client app won't connect to the server. The two workstations involved are (as far as I can determine) plain vanilla windows xp pro, with windows firewalls turned off. The logged-in users using each side are administrators on the domain. A test app that I wrote that uses genuine channels is able to connect. This is therefore a general question, what might be the problem, and how can I determine the problem This is a shrink-wrap product where I have to rebuild and ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Trigger Schema

  I'm not sure if this is a bug, I tried searching the forums with no luck. I imported a SQL 2005 Database schema, which contains 2 tables which are not [dbo] schema, the schema name is [Unblinding].  Everything looks fine, except the triggers for these two tables keep trying to get created under the [dbo] schema, which isn't correct.  On my production database I imported from, the tiggers are in fact under a different schema [Unblinding], not [dbo].  So when I try to deploy changes, I get invalid object name errors.  Here is the alter statement that gets generated: ALTER TRIGGER AuditIns_Users ON [Unblinding].[Users] AFTER INSERT It should be: ALTER TRIGGER [Unblinding] .
