  I am trying to accomplish something like this. Dim i As Integer = 1 Do GroupBox(i).Visible = True i = i + 1 Loop Until i = X Obviously this isn't working. After much searching I haven't been able to find an answer. It is probably because I am asking the wrong questions. But I need some help.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX10 only on Vista?

  I've searched everywhere but all I can find is rumors, rumors and even more rumors. Will the final version of directX 10 run on windows XP The only announcement I have seen so far was from the Wine project. The talked about the possibilities to port a future D3D10 support for Wine to Windows XP. I had a short conversion with one of theses guys some time ago. At this point they have still worked on D3D9 and haven’t even started with D3D10 for Wine. Therefore I would not bet that munch money that we will see result’s very soon. Additional Wine uses an D3D to OpenGL wrapper. Such a solution could never be 100% perfect as both APIs have some differences. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. End users shouldn't have to rewrite XNA math functions in order to improve performance.

  The overhead of passing a 64 byte Matrix by value is significant. Most especially when you are comparing two matrices for equivalency (==), or performing a Vector*Matrix multiplication (Vector3.Transform(Matrix)). The following matrix comparison function performs 5-10 times better than your built in == comparison. If the matrices are equal, then it is about 5 times faster. If they are unequal then it fails fast, and is about 10 times faster. public static bool Equals(ref Matrix a, ref Matrix b) { // i check the diagonal first for quick fails return a.M11 == b.M11 && a.M22 == b.M22 && a.M33 == b.M33 && a.M44 == b.M44 && a.M12 == b.M12 && a.M13 == b.M13 && a.M1 ...Show All

• .NET Development Web Service Performance Questions

  hello there i am developing a smart client application which will retrieve reporting data from web services when online. im concerned about performance issues here as some of the reports can contain lots of information so the encrypted data being output by the web services might get quite large. 1. should i be worried about performance when using web services for this task and if so is there any techniques i can consider to increase performance 2. i was considering using strongly typed datasets. i realise they are more bulky than their counterparts, but there are also advantages for me. will the performance difference be negligable over a web service or should i be wary of using strongly typed datasets thanks a lot. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista User drawn ConnectionPoints

  Hi! I'm rehosting the WF designer with a root activity inherited from FreeformActivityDesigner. What I am trying to do currently is to draw the ConnectionPoints by myself (I want to draw a bitmap with an arrow instead of small squares). I didn't find any method to override which draws these ConnectionPoints. How can I accomplish that Thanks! Hi Jon! I believe that GetConnectionPoints only returns a collection of ConnectionPoints. I thought I'd be able to write an own class inheriting from ConnectionPoint but the ConnectionPoint class doesn't have any method for painting which I could override in turn. I'm a bit stuck now, is it intended to allow custom drawing of the ConnectionPoints at ...Show All

• Visual C# Multi Interface inheritance

  Lets say you have two interfaces: interface IA: IComparable { int A {get; set;} } interface IB: IComparable { int B {get; set;} } and a class which implements both IA and IB class C: IA, IB { } class C now has to implement CompareTo, but the problem is that CompareTo should do different things if being used to compare this object to another IA, IB or classC. How do you implement the CompareTo function For instance lets say there is code like this: C c1 = new C(); C c2 = new C(); IA ia = c2; int comp1 = c1.CompareTo(ia); int comp2 = c1.CompareTo(c1); In this case, comp1 should equal 0 if c1.A == c2.A, and comp2 should equal 0 if both c1.A and c1.B are equal to c2.A and c2.B. Since you can only have one CompareTo method on class C how do ...Show All
