• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. In the final release of XNA i would like to see this!!!

  There are many different types of games. I would like to see when you select the new product tab and then select game tab. to have a genre tool come up where you can select Action, RPG, Stragety, so on. So the tab would help guide you towards a specific game genre instead of one huge slate to work with. I know its alot of work, but this would be a huge bonus to people who are just starting programing. hell it would help crush cost and time! please add this inthe future Starter kits are a feature of Visual Studio, not just XNA GS. See the Visual Studio docs for how to create starter kits . Yes, they are basically vs templates. Cheers, Leaf. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is there much to download on the Creator's Club yet ?

  Think this is the best place to ask, apologies if not. I've been interested in XNA for a couple of months now, plan on starting to learn to code myself pretty soon, before signing up for the Creators Club subsciption I just wanted to check if there is much on there to download at present or if I'd be better off joining in a couple of months time. Thanks. PS. Is there a site where available content is listed This question and answer is what I've been looking for. I asked it myself on other forums, didnt get any straight answers. But finally, now I know... theres nothing. Thats pretty lame. The main thing all the Microsoft videos show and talk about is that you can download other club membe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Error Deploying to Vista

  I have a VS2005/VB desktop application that uses the built-in version of CR. When I run the package (msi file) on a WinXP system all goes well but when I try it on a Vista (Business) system I get a series of errors indicating that various CR related dlls could not be registered. The error returned is always something like..."c:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\2.7\bin\ExportModeller.dll failed to register. HRESULT -2147010895" Do I need to do something different in VS to support Vista Two workarounds to get this to work: 1.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Credential Provider / User Session Question

  Hi, Is there any way for a credential provider to associate some of the data that is provided by the user at the logon UI page with the subsequent session that the user receives I think the answer is no, since none of the ICredentialProviderCredential methods expose any information about the user's session, but I was wondering if there was some other API that I could use during the ReportResult function to get some form of unique session identifier. Thanks Hi, when logon starts and the credential provider is loaded, the user session already exists. The CP is loaded in this session and the same session is used for the user until he logs off. In other words, on Vista, your provider runs in the same session ...Show All

  I've created a SQL Server 2005 project, then added one view and one procedure to the database and did a schma compare from database to project. Both items are to be added, so I click on update. Now Visual Studio does 3 steps to update the projects. Then nothing. After some time (1 - 2 minutes), the source control (in my case Team Foundation Server) add the files to source control. And then Nothing. Absolutly nothing. No input (mouse or keyboard) from me is accepted (except for a beep), CPU load is 0%, no harddisc activity. Visual Studio simply does nothing. I can't use ALT-Tab as well, because VS is gone from the taskbar and from the task manager. I waited about 3 hours. Nothing happend. I tried this. 3 times, every time Visual Stuido hang ...Show All

In my quest to get rock solid and predictable shutdown behaviour I stumbled accross the bizarre phenomen that when I take locks inside a finalizer the whole finalization stuff during shutdown is cancelled.
