• Visual C# new and shiny

  Yep I'm new and shiny to C# - coming from a C and Java background. Been looking for something that lists the base class's apis (preferably HTML - kinda like java's api if at all possible) to get a general idea of what classes are available and what they can do. Have 2 books ordered but would like to get a head start if possible. I have quickly looked at the specification doc provided in the visual studio - not exactly what I am looking for (or maybe just the format of it through me off) as well as a couple quick googles (maybe I am using the wrong search phrases) and a very quick search on these forums (base class api and a few variations). Links, google search phrases, or a spoon/clue would be appreciated. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Helpful Snippet: VertexStreamer

  Between setting up a vertex buffer, writing and creating a vertex decl, and creating an array of vertices and actually writing the data to the VB, rendering vertices is a lot of work, particularly if you're just hacking up quick things or just getting started. So in the hopes of simplifying things, I'm making the XNA port of a small snippet of code I've had lying around available. Here's how you would render a triangle with this class: partial class Game1 : Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game { private Utility.VertexStreamer m_Streamer; private Effect m_Effect; public Game1() { InitializeComponent(); m_Streamer = new Utility.VertexStreamer( this.graphics.GraphicsDevice ); CompiledEffect ce = Effect.Compil ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Save As animated gif impossible?

  I am working on an image editing application and am on the final step, which is the user saves the 3 images they have edited as one animated gif. I have done a lot of web searches trying to find some code that will accomplish this, but have come up empty. Is it possible If so, how is it done   Hey Widget.... We could working on this together. The first thing to know about C is that their syntax is backwards. Private Sub ProcessFiles() 'String [] imageFilePaths 'really means Dim imageFilePaths () as string = {"c:\01.png","c:\02.png","c:\03.png"}  ' See there are infiltrating VB with squiggles 'This is the largest conversion concept for the whole file.

• Visual C# How to check for letter

  in my if statement i want to check to see if the user has entered a letter, how would i go about doing that since i cannot convert string to char.....and it seems C# doesnt let you do IsNumeric(string value) like in VB....any help with this   [code languge="C#"] double y = 0; if (x.Length <= 8 || x.Length > 13) { MessageBox.Show("Your phone number does not contain the correct " + "number of digits. Please format number " + "as ###-###-####","Incorrect Number Format", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation); return x; } [/code] I think Ahmed's solution is far better than using the Visual Basic import (which will probably just call char.IsNumber() anyway). ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce over secured URL

  Dear forum, The scenario is very simple: The user logged in to a web server lets say "Bea Weblogic", and then the user tries to click on "ClickOnce" application, is it possible to pass the session Id cookie to click once, to avoid "(401) Unauthorized " that I get all the time Thanks in advance. I've noticed the same thing with a project deployed on an Apache 2.0 server. The client (ie. the browser) passes the credentials to the server to request the publish.htm page, but when the user clicks the link to the .application file, the 'client' (the ClickOnce control, no longer the browser) does not inherit the authentication information from the browser, and ...Show All

• Visual Basic filesystemwatcher event, wait for file to be filled with data, do until loop

  I am using filesystemwatcher to monitor a directory for files. Once a new file is created, my program converts the binary file to ascii and does some computations on the ascii file. What is happening is that the binary file is created but has a file size of 0 bytes for a while until it is filled by the sensor (that time will vary). I tried to put the following code into my eventhandler (a do until loop) for it to delay a little bit (until the file size is greater than 300 bytes), but it never fires. It is capturing the new file creation event, I just apparently can't update the length variable (sFilelength)...and the file is 356 bytes. My code is below, any help is appreciated: Dim inputarg As String = e.FullPath 'this is the name ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB .Net Reloaded

  Often I've seen apps shutdown and restart again... and I've been doing this to my apps do it after an error... just so that I know it will restart ok (after the error). How do I make my app shutdown and automatically restart Thanks. Any automatic restart you have to be concerned about - as this could restart in an infinite loop where it keeps crashing at startup and trying to restart automatically and crashing again ad infinitum. ...Show All

• Windows Forms simulating mobile phone control

  Hi, I need to make a windows forms app that will simulate a 3G mobile phone application. So, the only controls I have to select certain buttons/links is Up, Down, Left and Right. Is there any easy way to make this work The way I was thinking was to keep two ordered lists: one with the controls ordered vertically, and another with them ordered horizontally. Then, when the user pressed Down, for example, it would jump to the next item in the vertically ordered control list... Isnt there an easier way to do this Huge thanks ...Show All
