• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Build for Xbox 360 and Windows in one project

  I have created a Visual Studio project template that can be built for either Xbox 360 or Windows, by selecting the correct platform in the VS IDE. There's nothing particularly clever about this, it just uses some of the conditional abilities of MSBuild projects to merge the properties of an Xbox 360 XNA project with a Windows XNA project. There's a slight problem though - the VS Express C# IDE has, by default, disabled the build configuration and platform settings to present a simpler interface to beginners. In order to use this project template you need to re-enable these features and should probably have a reasonable understanding of what they do. This could be the reason that the XNA devs have mentioned that building for both platforms ...Show All

• Windows Forms Ending Backgroundworker

  I'm just wondering if there are any specific functions that should be called from within the BackgroundWorker process in order to clean it up properly, or if you can just let it exit like a normal function No, you simply exit the DoWork event handler like any other function. The BackgroundWorker itself must be disposed but that's something you do from the thread that created the background worker in the first place, not from DoWork. If you added a BackgroundWorker to your form using the designer there is no need to dispose it, the generated code will take care of it. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Get lattest version if specific label is not available

  Hi All, Actually I am creating a build using ant, and in build creation I want to get one specific labeled version of code and the latest version of other files in project which are not tagged with that label. For example: In my project 5 files have "Label1" but remaining files dont have that label. In that case when i run ant i should get "Label1" version of those 5 files and the latest version for other files. <vssget user="abc" password="mypassword" localpath="C:\Test" label="Lable1" recursive="true" replace="true" writable="true" dbpath="C:\VSS" path="$/MyTest" /> Please let me know of this is possible in VSS or not. If possible what is the option for that. Thanks in ...Show All

• SQL Server First Letter Capital More Than One Word

  Here is my question: Can you set this code up to do more than one word ex: I have names like Mc Donald, or Brook-Smith and the are lower case like the code states upper (left( client . first , 1 ))+ lower (right( client . first , len ( client . first )- 1 )) + ' ' + upper (left( client . last , 1 ))+ lower (right( client . last , len ( client . last )- 1 )) As 'Full Name' Modify the function to replace the MAX with some maximum value that you think is appropriate.  Then just run the code.  Then you will have two functions available for your use. SELECT dbo.ProperString('thiS will lOOk DIFFERENT') Result: This Will Look Different   P.S. If you are using ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Shell Namespace Extension's default action not called

  Dear Friends I have a shell namespace extension registered under "My Computer". It is working well in Windows XP. I got some problems in Windows Vista. I am unable to navigate my NSE items by double click in the listview (The single click in treeview working fine). Nothing happened when I double click on an item.

• Visual Studio HTML Help from .HLP Projects

  I have a series of projects to convert from the older .hlp style to .chm. The HTML Help workshop has a convert option, but it fails most of the time for graphics. I use HTML Workshop to convert the .hpj file to corresponding .hhp relates files. All seems to go fine, but virtually all the graphics images in the original .rtf files are missing from the fiinal .chm result. In some cases, it works fine, but that's the minority of cases. Any ideas Ed Yes, unfortunately there is not a convenient one-to-one conversion mechanism in the basic tools we provide. If you use a tool like RoboHelp, you may be able to more successfully import your .hlp source and convert it to an HTML Help project. ...Show All

• Windows Forms MSI Package Question

  I have developed an VS2005/VB application that I have installed on a couple of end-users PC. The application works great with one exception. After I install the package and run the application the first time, either as a local administrator or standard user, the application looks for the MSI package to complete the install. What can I do to get this to stop.

• Visual C# Differences between delegate invoke and call a method directly??

  Hi! I'm studing about delegates and how works before studing asynchronous callbacks, i understand differences between call a method directly and call a method by delegate asynchronously with BeginInvoke, it launchs a background thread aganist the pointed method, but i don't understand which's the difference between call a method directly and call a method by delegate with Invoke ... i think that both are the same way to call the same method ... probably because i don't understand well the difference :P Can somebody light up me Thanks in advance. Regards. Ultimately they are identical. The difference is in performance and benefits. If you directly call a method then the compiler will generate the necessary code to look up ...Show All
