• Visual FoxPro Choppiness of Graphic animations (progressbars, etc.)?

  Its *good for users* to have a ProgressBar Indicator during backups of tables (while they wait for "who-knows-how-long", etc.). 'Twould be so nice for our users to be able to have: 1) the *Windows Flying Paper Progressbar* (during Window's copy/paste of files) ...or... 2) a 'Themed-progressbar' step-timed to the number of BYTES transferring during backup. (not just a wait window/Marquee (like Windows startup-progressbar), which leaves the user *hanging* about when its going to finish) Please try to help me (I'll continue researching this and let you-all know if I've found a ProgressBar routine that step-times according to actual bytes being copied) Just some extra info: You can copy one file, or some files, ...Show All

  Hi all, I'll get right to the point. My camera is defined using the following code... cameraworld = Matrix .CreateTranslation(xplane, yplane, 0) * Matrix .CreateScale(zoom) * Matrix .CreateRotationZ(angle); view = cameraworld * Matrix .CreateLookAt( new Vector3 (0, 0, 100), Vector3 .Zero, Vector3 .Up); projection = Matrix .CreatePerspectiveFieldOfView( MathHelper .ToRadians(45), ( float )graphics.GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Width / ( float )graphics.GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Height,1.0f, 1000f); effect.View = view; effect.Projection = projection; I've also got code to allow me to place objects in the game world, after unprojecting the mouse points and finding the point of intersection with my XY plane.

• Windows Forms Problem reordering items in ListBox bound to DataView

  I am creating an application that contains a ListBox control databound to a DataSet. The user should be able to click on a button to move list items either up or down in the order that they appear in the ListBox. This is proving somewhat difficult to do. I have currently implemented this using a DataView with a column "OrderPosition" corresponding to the order the item should appear in the list and the DataView sorted by this column. When the user clicks up or down buttons the code changes values in the OrderPosition column to reflect the new positioning. The code below is for the down event and the error is shown in the comments: If Not Me .componentsListBox.SelectedIndex = 0 And _ Not Me .componentsListBox.SelectedIn ...Show All

• Architecture Architecture for Notification based application

  I need to develop a notification based system in .Net. Basically as and when certain data gets updated, the client machine is informed about it. There would be a windows based application running across all these clients. One way I was thinking of was to have the clients poll the server for any updates at frequent intervals. Whenever the Server does an update it would post the update into a queue. Every client would poll the queue for any updates. Would like to know if this approach is alrite or suggest an alternative architecture.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Install XNA on VS2005 Std?

  Hey All, I've just downloaded XNA 1.0 and tried to install when I found that it won't because I don't have Visual C# Express. I've been running Visual Studio 2005 Standard on my laptop since last February and I'm wondering if there's any way to make it work I think it's sort of silly install C# Exp when I've got Std so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! Unfortunately, it doesn't currently work on VS2k5. Though it may not look like it, there are significant differences between VS2k5 and the express editions behind the scenes. With only a certain amount of time given to them to develop this first version, they had to make a choice between which version to support in this first release, and they ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions help, program stops with no errors

  Well I have put a text search within a SQL loop: both programs work separatly that is when I execute a SQL statement it produces what I want.
