• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Struggling with 3D sound - Anyone got this working?

  I'm getting IndexOutOfRange exception on the " engine.Calculate3DAudio(listener, emitter)" line below. Anyone managed to do anything like this I want my sound to come from a particular point. I understand with my code below that as theplayer moves, the listener isn't updating position (so sounds already started will be wrong), but I need to get the sound playing first! public class Sound { private static AudioEngine engine; private static WaveBank wavebank; private static SoundBank soundbank; private static Audio3DEmitter emitter; private static Audio3DListener listener; public static Cue Play( string name, Vector3 playerLocation, Vector3 soundLocation) ...Show All

• Visual C# Go to class member quickly using keyboard only

  I'm migrating to VS 2005 (C#). Up to now I've been using VS 2003 with Resharper. I see VS 2005 now implements many of ReSharper "goodies" (refactor, rename, add 'using' etc). However I still can't go to a class member quickly using keyboard only. E.g. in ReSharper (VS 2003) I'd press a shortcut which would display "file structure", then a member would get selected as I type letters it starts with, hit enter and I'm in the member. Long time ago (VS 97/VC++ 5.5 I think), "Class Members" combo box (VC++ editor) were "trackable" (i.e. selection would position on the member starting with the letters type) and one could assign shortcut to expand/focus on members combo box. It's long not the case a ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Game Studio Express compatible with Visual Studio Professional

  Can't wait to get home and download XNA GSE but I'm concerned; will I be able to use it on a machine where I already have an installed copy of VS Professional I have another machine that I can use that doesn't have any developement tools on it but that would be inconvenient. I checked the FAQ and didn't see anything one way or another. Thanks in advance. Can't really see the point of getting people to install Express, I would be more inclined to think that it's a ploy to get Professional users to pay for the bigger XNA package. Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong. ...Show All

  Hello, I am using TFS Build to automate the build process of my projects. The problem is that I cannot make it output the associated xml documentation files (/doc option for the csc compiler).

What should I do to enable them in my build process Regards, Darin. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Save MailItem as MSG file

  Hi, How can I save the an Outlook.MailItem as .MSG file on Hard Disk Andy Ho Thanks for the reply.   I unregistered the redemption dll and re-installed the same. Still I'm getting the same result. Also I got an error like : "Could not retrieve IMessage : ..." when I tried to show the auto-generated content from my application to Outlook Inspector Window. From there, user can send or save the msg as draft as he likes. This is my idea. This option also working fine in other machines. Whether Outlook installation is wrong I'm planning to re-install the Outlook. Any other suggestions before that Waiting for your valuable feedback. ...Show All

I am running VB Studio ver 8 and VB Net ver 2 and XP Professional ver 5 sp 2. I have a project with many forms. I made the mistake of adding a Data Source then deleteing it. Big Mistake.

• Visual Studio MSBuild behavior differences between 2 build machines

  I've installed VS 2005 on two build machines (both are Win2003, one is a virtual server) using the same installation. On machine A, the MSBuild is working fine; on machine B, the first VCBuild in the build XML fails because it can't find include files even though the files are in the correct include folder. (We set the INCLUDE environment variable.) I've tried passing the /useenv switch as posted on MSDN but that doesn't help. The cl.exe files are the same. In the help-about for VS 2005 I see that machine A has this version of C#, C++, etc.: 77626-009-0000007-41360 and machine B has: 77626-009-0000007-41198, although I have no idea why they're different.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Sprite animation

  Let me start off by saying that I ALREADY KNOW how to animate sprites. I think the way I've been doing my animation, though, isn't really recommended as it can cause hiccups. Here's what I've been doing: I've got a sprite class. This class has a DateTime member called startTime. It also has a TimeSpan member called timePassed. In my constructor I have the following bit of code at the very end: public Sprite() { ... DateTime startTime = DateTime.Now; } which sets the initial point of reference for the sprite. I've also got an UpdateFrame function that basically checks the current time, sees if enough milliseconds have passed, and either exits or changes the frame of the sprite: //this will check to see if it's time to change the animati ...Show All
