• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. componete becomes a property of another component

  in the video of the video of presentation of componetes “Game Components Dem " minute 9, the presenter writes “Spinner” and componete becomes a property of another component. When I do it in my component I cannot accede, to the object, of that form so that If I understand correctly, you are creating your own custom game component that can reference another type of game component and having trouble allowing the UI to specify the other component at design time You can use a TypeConverter to do this. TypeConverters are one way you can tell the design time UI how to edit custom properties. Try putting [TypeConverter(typeof(ComponentConverter))] on top of the property, like this: [TypeConverter(typeof(ComponentConverter))] publ ...Show All

• Visual C# CS0122 happening where it shouldn't.

  I'm writing some code to read a process's memory. I've used it as a code bit and it works; however, I can't seem to get it working in a DLL file. If I reference the DLL and compile, the compiler throws a CS0122; saying that the class I'm attempting to use, ReadWrite, is not public: "'ProcessMemory.ReadWrite' is inaccessible due to its protection level" However, my code for the DLL says quite otherwise: http://rafb.net/paste/results/H8nxZU57.html As you can see, my class, and its functions, are quite public. What is the deal here EDIT: Removed the edited code snipped I posted, and replaced it with a link to the source.  You should not declare public methods that you are implem ...Show All

• Visual Basic FrameWork or PowerPack?

  When I'm programming I'm trying to use as much as possible the instructions of the FrameWork and NOT the instructions, by instance, of Microsoft.VisualBasic. On the setting of my project under properties/references I've remooved the importated namespace Microsoft.VisualBasic in order to know when I'm using the "old" instructions. This is a kind of setting I'm recommending to use to everyone. If any one of you is doing simple benchmark by istance comparing the execution time in order to read a .txt file using the instruction of Visual Basic and the instructions of FrameWork using System.IO.File.Open.Text will see that Framework is minimum 5 times faster. Here comes the question ... Why are you (Microsoft) working on Power ...Show All

• Visual Studio Column Charts

  How can I programmatically change the width of the bars in a chart on an RDLC page I am using VB.Net 2005 There is a way to control the width of columns and bars. The property is called " PointWidth ". However, the property is not directly accessible in report designer. What you need to do is: * open your RDL file in a text / xml-editor * search for the chart (<chart name="...">) * add a PointWidth value between 0 and 100 (by default it is 55) Example: <Chart Name="Sales"> <PointWidth>90</PointWidth> ... </Chart> Note: PointWidth is a constant value, it cannot be an expression. -- Robert ...Show All

• SQL Server remote message being classified as local

  Hi I am trying to deploy our service broker application into our live enviroment. I have been using the excellent service listings manager to configure security and routes when deploying to our test enviroments and had no problems. However, after having gone through the same steps in live, i can not get it working. The messages I try sending from the remote initiating service arrives at the target service, but the ack is not sent back from the target service. I have used profiler to find out what is going on and noticed that on the target after the ack is received, a broker:message classify event occurs with an event sub class of 1 - Local. It then starts going through lots of broker: Message undeliverable events. From what I under ...Show All

• Smart Device Development SIP, RTP and .NET

  Hi, I am developing a SIP based Voip applicatoin for Pocket PCs. I used Sip .NET it seems to work fine but I can't find any third party API for using RTP, I found some open source solutions but I will need to create wrapper classes I guess. I would appreciate any solutions As far as I know, there is no RTP library for .NET CF. I am in similar situation: in need of RTP library, but after some research I decided to give up and write my own library. There is one company (you can google it), and they are working on such a library, but they did not succeeded yet. I can think of only one help for you: There is one MS Research project that is using managed RTP library (I'm 90% sure that they d ...Show All
