• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Content Pipeline

  Hi, I haven't really used the Content Pipeline seriously yet but I've seen the official tutorials on it and understand them. Now, I'm thinking - what if I want to load a certain model/effect or anything else that the Content Pipeline supports - BUT I want to load it dynamically/at run-time, e.g. I have a certain filename that my code wants to use to load content, but I don't know it until runtime. Is there some sort of dynamic way of using what otherwise seems to be a static Content Pipeline Thanks... Alex: I would not use the MsBuild approach for what you describe, I would add the file to my project as well as all the textures and create a custom processor to write out the file names. Or your custom pr ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Multiselect ComboBox Implementation Ideas

  I need to create a ComboBox which allows for multiselection (the selections will be display in a comma delimited string of the TextBlock portion of the control). Ideally, the dropdown of the ComboBox will be filled with items with a CheckBox, with the item being checked if it's been selected. What would be the best way to approach such a control Should I modify the templates of either the ListBox control or the ComboBox control or create a new user control (maybe based off one these controls) Thanks, Kevin An ideal solution would be to have the combo box contain CheckBoxes as its contents, this way you can allow multiple selections from the same ComboBox. ...Show All

• Visual C# FontDialog show with wrong fornt size.

  Hi if a rich text document open with large size font, the fontDialog set the font on the document down to the smallest size. My question how do I show the fontDialog with the size of font on the document I hope somebody do understand my question. Thanks jbattat If you set dialog's font to richtextbox's font before showing it, it should pick up the font, used in current caret position. [ fontDialog1.Font = richTextBox1.SelectionFont; ] However, if selected text contains font with different sizes, the size in dialog will be set to default value. Andrej ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Deployment / strange Network Problem

  Hello I have a problem with deployment of a xbox 360 game. Okay the problem seems to be the network connection, i get the message that the host (my xbox 360) cannot be reached. I tried a PING to the IP Address of my XBox 360 and it fails. So i checked the Subnet, the IP Address, everything looks fine. And than i figured out something really strange: I started "PING -t 192.168.0.2" (the IP of my XBox) and i got timeouts as before. Than i started the network diagnostic tool on the XBox - still PING timouts. From the moment on where the network diagnostics reached the ICMP test, the PING succeeded and i receive an answer. Unfortunatly when the network test is over, the PING fails again. Can someone help me Greetings, Ber ...Show All

• Visual Basic Publish question

  I think I asked this question in the wrong forum.....Maybe this is the right place... I created an application and published it. and it comes up on my Windows 'start'-'All Progams. Problem is, when look in Windows Explorer under "C:\Program Files" I can't see it. I right clicked on MyApplication under "All Programs" and it shows its under: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\MyApplicaton. When I navigate to that location all I see is a SHORTCUT. Where is my application... And I will (as usual, and strictly out of curiosity) ask the question "why do you want/need to see where the application was installed ". Best regards, Johan Stenberg ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 7.0 Compatibility &/or Linked Server Parameters

  Hi, don't know if anyone can help me but I desperately need to roll a report out which relies on an SQL 7.0 datasource. Current situation - Reporting Services 2000 up and running on an SQL 2000 box - no problems getting reports to run from the native machine but I cannot get the thing to make a hop to our SQL 7.0 box. I've created three data sources - OLEDB, Native and ODBC.

• Gadgets Flyout to the front?

  I have a gadget that navigates through a set of XML documents via next/previous buttons. Some of these documents link to a first page with windows media player attached to play an associated video, while some link to a second page which doesn't contain a video. You can navigate backwards and forwards through these pages of the first type, without trouble, but when you click on a link which jumps to the second page, from the first, then you lose the "focus" (I say focus warily, because I realise that actually losing focus would mean that the flyout would close, which it doesn't). What happens is that the sidebar gadget has the focus, and you have to click on the flyout twice (the first time regains focus, &n ...Show All
