Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Hope Xbox360 can support Flash File(*.swf) !
xbox360 is a good TV Console, can use XNA tools make game by myself, but now,flash game is much more other on internet, I hope make flash game on Xbox360. It's fun. We are currently building a swf >xna tool, mostly for animation but maybe a bytecode>C# converter later. I think the two biggest reasons to have this (for us anyway) is for adding existing animation to a game, and to port existing games that are known to be popular already. Flash is also a very fast (and cheap!) way to create 2D animation, so that can be useful in itself. I worked on a xaml>swf engine before (at Xamlon), it is actually a much bigger undertaking going with xaml than swf. The basic shape and animation stuff i ...Show All
Visual Basic Need advise on what class to use
Hi, I need to write an application to perform imaging of memory cards (up to 1 GB). The requirement is for the application to capture the entire image of the memory device into a file, all partitions included. i.e. if I have an 256 MB SD Card, I must write in all 256MB of the card into a standalone file The original and the image must match byte for byte. I've tried using stream reader to do a simple test (see extracted code below): Dim strmRdr as StreamReader strmRdr = New StreamReader("\\.\F:", System.Text.Encoding.Default, True) However, I was given the following error: FileStream will not open Win32 devices such as disk partitions and tape drives. Don't use \\.\ " in your path. Hence, can anyone advis ...Show All
Windows Forms How to determine which control is at the front
I have a panel which holds a number of fully docked child controls, so only one can be visible at any time (which I set by calling BringToFront). Is there a way to determine which control is at the front without keeping track of it myself i.e which control is currently at the top of the z-order Hi, If all the controls are contained within the same panel, you can check that panel's Controls collection. The first control in that collection (panel1.Controls[0]) is always the top one, and the last in the collection is the bottom one... When you change your controls' z-order (SendToBack, BringToFront), their position in their container's Controls collection is also changed. Andrej ...Show All

Windows Live Developer Forums Javascript question (how to pass strings with white space?)
Although this is a javascript question, it's related to VE because I'm writing a webservice function which writes javascript on the server-side. I have a simple question. I want to pass a string value (in my case a tag), to a javascript function: So I have someting like the following: <pre> tagCloud.Append("<a href=# onclick=SetTag("" + tag + "") >" + tag + "</a> "); </pre> eventually this is rendered to screen where I have the typical tagcloud that allows a user to click tags and filter stuff. The problem is that when the value "tag" contains whitespace the javascript breaks. I thought by putting " I would solve this... but it's obviously not workin ...Show All

.NET Development How to change method at runtime.
Hi, Supose we have a method named method1. If we run our app in debug mode, we can stop at a brake point and than chagne some code and continue to run the app. Is there a way to do it using code When I searched I only found useful Reflection.Emit namespace yet it can only build dynamic things, it can not change class structure, or method body. The scenerio can look like this. App is running. App is unloading dll. App is changing dll (it can only know something from Reflection). App is changing dll. App is loding dll. Of course it would be great if unloading/loding steps could be thrown out form this "flow". If someone knows how to deal with this problem please help me:) The MDbg sample has a demo on how EnC works under t ...Show All
Visual Basic Unexpected behaviour with INSTR function
G'day, please forgive me as its my first foray into VB.NET (Normally a VB6 bloke). I'm getting some strange behaiour from the INSTR function. I wish to read in a CSV file but split the data into columns which I'll then plot. The data is structured such that the first record contains the channel names, then comes the units and finaly the data stream. A record can contain 200+ strings delimited by a "," the record is terminated by a CRLF so I use INSTR and VBCRLF. The first vbCrLf is picked up correctly - the expected number of channels is loaded into sHeaders (see below). BUT the next one sUnits is NOT loaded correctly - it actually misses a vbCrLf and continues to loads till the next vbCrLf appears after that one. ...Show All

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can the xsd and xsi attributes be turned off when using the XmlSerializer?
I am using the XMLSerializer under .NET 3.0 in a WCF client. The request message created has a body tag that looks like this on the wire: <s:Body xmlns:xsi=" http: / / www. w3. org/ 2001/ XMLSchema- instance " xmlns:xsd=" http: / / www. w3. org/ 2001/ XMLSchema "> I want to turn of the two standard attributes for the xsi and xsd namespaces, as I do not need them.
