• Visual C# What's the best way to use RegEx to replace strings found in a match?

  (Sorry for so many questions today... this is my last!) Let's say I have a string: Hello, my name is <#NAME DATA="JOHN">. My address is <#ADDRESS DATA="VALUE1">. That's a very rough example (please ignore the actual contents) but you should be able to get the idea. So I'm using RegEx to find <# .* >. This works excellent and I have a nice MatchesCollection object. Well now I call a ProcessTags function for every match and it returns replacement text. So for example, I would call ProcessTags with "NAME, DATA=JOHN" and it would return back "John Smith". Now how do I replace my original <#NAME DATA="JOHN"> with my replacement text Right now I'm just d ...Show All

  I've seen a few posts on collision detection, and though I'd post an article on how to write a collision detection engine for your game. Take a look at: http://mbebenita.blogspot.com/ I'll follow it up with some source code as soon as I get a chance. Michael B. Ultrahead wrote: Ok, I understand that. But I meant using the screen to "cap" the area where you want to test collisions (like when using the frustrum area in Octress and BSP to select the 3D areas to render). Say, in a single player game, the dynamic objects that lay out of the screen could be frozen so as to avoid do some checking on them. And when the player moves so that the objects are back again on screen, these objec ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Copy image/graphic from panel/drawing surface to richtextbox

  I have the following code which allows freehand drawing using a mouse. It uses a panel as drawing surface. I will add the ability to load background images on the panel so can draw on that bmp. Now after all the drawing, I want to ensure its one image, a bmp, copy to clipboard then paste it into a richtextbox on another form in the program. Now attempting this I have tried several approaches. None have worked at all. The online tutorials or samples to study I can find are many years old and many version of basic ago. None work of course. Here is my base code for drawing. Any advice, or directing me to a tutorial, sample, or a reference book would be greatly appreciated. From what I read, this should work.
