• Visual Studio Express Editions How to and suggestion on printing text to screen.

  For those of us who used qbasic we know how the print statement works.I mean if I put like print "hellow" , a$ Then that is where it goes.That needs to be brought back as well te help files need to be improved apon.I could not easlly find out how to simplely print hellow world on the screen so.So it needs to be a little simpler. My question is how do I put text on a window I have to disagree about the Help files. I find them excellent - you just need to know where to look and if you are new to the application start at the beginning. If you want to draw to the screen ( or to your form ) then you need to study the graphics classes. Type "drawing" into the index search and you wi ...Show All

  Hello Can anyone direct me to some post-processing tutorials I want to try to throw some effects on a 2-D game I'm working on. Thanks!

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Heightmap Terrain Component

  I thought the whole component concept was pretty cool. So I threw together a quick heightmap terrain component. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59/craigory666/heightMapTerrain.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59/craigory666/heightMapTerrain2.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59/craigory666/heightmapprop.jpg It should work with square .raw files, and for the effectPath I'm just using the default texture shader found in the help file. The view and projection matrices of the terrain are exposed, so you should be able to hook up whatever camera you have going and just update the terrains view, and projection matrices during your games update. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; using Microsoft.Xna.Fr ...Show All

• .NET Development Exception trace is not available when program crashes

  My C# application has unhandled exception on client computer with .NET Framework, without Visual Studio. When this happens, .NET Exception message which contains useful information like exception type and exception trace, appears for a short time, and immediately replaced by standard exception dialog with "Send to Microsoft - Don't send" buttons. Is it possible to get exception trace and file name on this computer by some way I believe this is controlled through the Error Reporting feature of the OS. Try turning it off for non-MS apps and see if you get the information. Generally though this dialog has a link to the details so you can see the exception anyway. You can also try running drwtsn32 to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Foudation Server Scheduled Backup + Disaster Recovery Scenarios

  Hi, We have Team Foundation Server installed in our premises. We arranged with all the people working on TFS to make sure that their connection to TFS is closed before they leave work, so that to enable our SQL Server Full Backup Schedule to work correctly at around 03:00 AM. Our questions are: 1. Do we have to back up the Reporting Services Encryption Key every night as well Or we do that only once in a life time 2. Is there anything else to backing up TFS - in order to gurantee successfull recovery in the case of a hardware crash - other than backing up TFS databases and RPT Service Enc. Key 3. Can we still reuse the files that exist in users' worksapces in the case of a TFS crash I mean after we recover/restore TFS , ...Show All

  Hey gyuz! I wrote a little program that runs any other program you want throuh a contextmenustrip.The program adds a notify icon in the tray and you can access the menu through there.All the programs you add are saved in the registry for calling them.
