• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What's difference between Express and Professional?

  I've installed the Express edition beta 1, but I have interesting to the Professional edition. I thought the Professional edition should have more classes than Express edition, but I've never seen any documentation to compare the class library of each edition. Could you tell me the differences of them, particularly about class library Or I'd be happy if I could find the reference manual of XNA Game Studio Professional on the net. Thanks, Hayashida The FAQ states that the pro version will be for signed developers with dev kits, which kind of restricts who will ever be able to use it (and probably talk about it)... Q: What if I have an 360 Developer Kit – can I use the XNA Framework with a title t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What does creators club include right now?

  I'm a little puzzled about what the creators club actually includes, I've checked the FAQs and can't really find an answer. I have however managed to find the following: "The XNA Creators Club is available on Xbox LiveR Marketplace for $49 (U.S.) for a four-month subscription, or $99 (U.S.) for an annual subscription. Both subscriptions provide aspiring game developers with access to thousands of game assets from Microsoft and key partners such as Turbo Squid Inc., as well as white papers, specialized starter kits, samples and technical product support to help turn Your World, Your Game into a reality." I signed up for a year because it sounds like quite a good package, however there seems to be no information provided on ...Show All

• .NET Development Handling lost connection(s) better

  Hi, Anyone got any good advice for the following issue. I have a standalone application running on approximately 12 machines. Every 60 seconds these attempt to contact a WebService on the central server which updates a (long) time on the server so that the server knows the standalone program is still running. I need this knowledge for other actions done by the users via the main WebApplication... Anyway I am getting occasions where the connection to (Server)WebService and standalone application is breaking. I cannot always confirm (or the user cannot always confirm the reason for this). When these breaks happen an exception occurs which force the shutdown of the standalone application. However can anyone suggest a better ...Show All

• SQL Server SSRS to set display properties at Internet Exporer Level

  Hi All, I have report which correctly outputs the PDF Export as well as when it displays it in the Reporting Services it is correct. When it is deployed at the report server(IE) the view seems to differ a bit. As the report is a combination of Table adjacent to a matrix the IE view makes the Matrix move in the next line. Any thoughts on how can i control the display properties at the IE level only as the other views seems to be working fine. Regards, Vikram Hi , I have tried that but it seems to introduce an extra space between the table and the matrix as they need to be just adjacent to each other. Secondly do you have any idea if this is a limitation of RS to affect only th ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What are all the scrip codes for XNA?

  I know almost all game develpement programs use scrip codes and I would reall like it is someone would tell me some I would like to know them all Also whats the code to make cheat codes The problem with your question is that XNA has no specific script codes. Each developer that makes a game using the XNA Framework will decide for themselves if they want to create their own scripting system for their game and they will either use an existing system (of which there are many) or implement their own. Also, there is no specific code to make cheat codes. Technically, I guess you would say that C# is the code to make cheat codes in XNA. If a developer wants to add cheat codes to his game (usually done for test ...Show All

• SQL Server Line Chart in RS - simple design question

  I have a simply data file that I want to make a time-based line chart and I can't seem to get charts in RS to do it. The data file structure is as follows: (first line is column labels and each row is a case with three data points - one for each year) school 2003 2004 2005 SchA 100 122 133 SchB 121 145 115 SchC 98 112 120 I can't seem to get the right series, category, and data fields to get a very simple line chart for each school (one trend line for each school connecting the three data points all one the same chart). It's trivial in Excel and using pivot tables, but RS charts is not structured the same way. The fields in the SQL result set returned are School ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to make verical scrollbar in gridview wider

  Hi, I need to make vertical scrollbar in gridview and combobox wider because I am building a touch screen application. Any help or links will be appreciated. Hi, If what you're asking for is about ASP.net, then this forum is not the most appropriate one. If you what you're saying is about DataGridView, then there is no direct support for this modification. I'm afraid you have to subclass the datagridview. Fortunately, there is a protected property named 'VerticalScrollBar' which gives you more control over the scrollbar. Hope this helps. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Microsoft Embedded Visual C++ 4

  Does anyone know if I can use Microsoft Embedded Visual C++ 4 to develop apps that run on Windows Mobile 2005 I have enough of nightmare with Visual Studio 2005 and its service pack. So I thought of falling back to Embedded VC and using Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK to do my development work. YES you can develop applications which will run on Windows Mobile 5.0, but NO you won't be able to debug them. You'll have to use the Pocket PC 2003 SDK because the WM 5.0 SDK does not register with eVC 4.0. There's a hack you can use for debugging an application built with eVC 4.0 using VS2005. Follow these instructions . Advance warning: eVC 3.0 and 4.0 do not work on Windows Vista - they crash at star ...Show All

• Visual C# Finding text in a Rich Text Box Control

How can I have a find like that in notepad etc. i.e. finds the next occurrence with each click.
