  I got this problem, but both of the directx are version9.0. My source code couldn't compile in the latest version of directx. Could anyone tell me got anyway can solve this problem What compilation errors you get Note that while the core D3D runtime and APIs didn't change, D3DX has changed a lot. Thus, if you're using D3DX in your project, you're very likely to hit compilation errors caused by the new differences... ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cherry Pick Merge causes conflict

  I know this subject has come up a few times in the forum, and I've read the answers to those - but still not sure I'm following the answer. I am following an admittedly old webcast from TechEd 2005 by Douglas Neumann that talks about TFS Promotion Modeling, and the ability to Cherry-Pick merge a particular changeset. I'm wondering has something changed since the beta when this seemingly worked Very similar to the demo, I have the following setup: DEV branched to QA (changeset 29) DEV class1.cs QA class1.cs Make a change to class1.cs and check it in + add new property called "NewFeature" for the next release (changeset 30) Make another change to class1.cs for a bug fix and check it in + add new property called "BugFix", need this in th ...Show All

  are there any tutorials on how to do 3d collision detection. like between one model and another (and not with boxes... but complex collision detection) currently, i have a camera that walks around 1st person. I would like to give it a boundingbox or something like that. I also have the spaceship model from the spaceship demo game on the scene. I am not currently dealing with the Y axis, but i would like to detect collisions between the camera's boundingbox and the spaceship. any help would be great. thanks Jon, your post is very helpful. I will search GJK and simplex, not to mention dust off my old linear algebra book. If i get any good code, i'll post it up to help others. If anyone else beats me ...Show All

• Visual Studio The memory could not be "written".

  I'm running VC++ 2003 and have a problem when closing the console. When clicking the X in the upper right, I get this message: The instruction at "0x79442e83" referenced memory at "0x31041660", The memory could not be "written". I have two opengl windows open and wish to close the whole program. When I close the opengl windows first and then close the console I don't get the message. I'd expect it is in the opengl code but don't know how to locate where the instruction is and in what memory location it is referring to. The above hex numbers represent those location but they must be from some base as looking at a map I can't locate either. How do I proceed trying to find those locations wit ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Reset or not reset a IDirect3DDevice9?

  Hi @ all, i'd want know if calling IDirect3DDevice9::reset() is the correct way after switching from windowed mode to fullscreen. In PresentParameters there are some attributes that have sense only in fullscreen mode, as well as FullScreen_RefreshRateInHz or MultiSampleType. Have I to call reset() function Is it the correct way What do I have still to check Thx ;) I've gone through the SDK docs after reading this post and did not find anything about it. I have'nt got time to do some more tests but I've never noticed so far. Do you also think that conclusion's wrong ...Show All

• Visual C# C# Checking whether a cookie exists or not

  I started off by trying to use the HttpCapabilitiesBase.Cookies Property ( Note: This property is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0) however it kept on returning true even when I disabled cookies in both FireFox and Internet Explorer. After a bit of googling I found that a lot of people were creating cookies, then re-reading them; obviously if they could re-read the cookie then they knew that the client's browser accepts cookies! Simple. However, after writing a similar class to the ones I viewed online, I'm still getting true returned, even when I disable cookies in both FireFox and Internet Explorer. I ran the code through the debugger and I can see that it definatly *is* setting the cookie and being able to re-read it. Any advice ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Remove Control?

  Is there a way to remove a control once added to a map I have added a control to put a textbox on the map, but when I resize the page, I want that control to either move locations, or I want it to be cleared so I can add it again. If you added the control like this: var el = document.createElement("div"); el.setAttribute('id',"MyID"); el.innerHTML = "my html"; map.AddControl(el); then you remove it like this: var el = document.getElementById(" MyID "); el.parentNode.removeChild(el); John. ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server How to export data to XML?

  Hi! I am quite new to SQL Server and have downloaded the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 trial edition. I was wondering is it possible to export the data from the database into XML fromat (or save the data from the database to xml format).. If it is possible, will it create a XML Schema with it How can I export/save it as XML format if it is possible Thanks a lot~ probably the quickest way is via FOR XML clause, BOL 2005 excerpt below: SQL Server 2005 has ALOT of XML integration built into it, I doubt there is any task involving both SQL SErver and XML that you cannot acomplish with SQL 2005... A SELECT query returns results as a rowset. You can optionally retrieve formal results of a SQL query as ...Show All

  I see some examples and/or videos on the net about using the design view of a game to just drag & drop previously created game components into. When I create a new Windows Game, I do not get a designer in my solution explorer. How are they adding a designer to an xna game Also, are there any links to tutorials on how to create a game component The actual code that the designer does for you is minimal. You're better off just adding a "Components.Add(new MyComponent(this))" line in the constructor of your game subclass. ...Show All

• .NET Development SoapException throws differently by server

  I have a ASP.NET 1.1 web site calling a ASP.NET 1.1 web service on the same server and the SoapExceptions being thrown between the service and the site are different between two of our servers. This application has been working fine on Windows 2000 and on the first Windows 2003 IIS 6 implementation but when we began the migration we started having issues. Are there any settings in IIS 6, .NET, or WIndows 2003 that impact how SoapExcpetions are thrown/handled between a .NET web site and a .NET web service Thanks for the help! We found a big difference between the servers. The one that works does not have the load balancing software on it. That fact and this post http://pluralsight.com/blogs/craig/arch ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB Array.Sort() Method

  Hello, I need help writing a subroutine that works out the lowest number in an array and then tells me the position in the array at which this number occurs. The array i am using is C_Votes(4). However I will have set some values in the array to -1. This means i must exclude that part of the array. So for example, i have the following array and values: C_Votes(0) = 10 C_Votes(1) = 12 C_Votes(2) = 8 C_Votes(3) = -1 C_Votes(4) = 15 The subroutine would tell me that C_Votes(2) contains the lowest value because it has the lowest value that isnt a '-1'. The test could return a 2 to show that is was position 2 in the array. If at any stage there is more than one part of the array that contains the lowest value, then one can be return ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Custom loop with multiple activities

  I want to implement a custom loop that has multiple activities occur during each loop. I have looked at the for each loop at http://wf.netfx3.com/, but although this solution works with one item in the loop, I am having problems detecting when all items in the loop are done. Currently, I end up closing my activity too early when child activities are still executing. Any suggestions Amanda The simplest test I got to work was to set the designer for the activity to the SequentialActivityDesigner. This may not be the ultimate look you want, so create a designer that derives from this one and then override methods as appropriate to get the look you want. Matt ...Show All
