• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Scrolling a 2D Background

  New tutorial on scrolling a 2D background on my site XNADevelopment. This is the quick and dirty approach. It covers creating the project, adding images to the project and scrolling those images horizontally in a continuous loop. I've posted the tutorial and the source code if you're interested. So far, I'm SUPER impressed with XNA development and just how easy it has been. The support from the XNA developers in the forums here has just been outstanding. These guys are really going over and above helping out all of us XNA newbies as we struggle to fly and learn the ropes. I'm also just amazed at the variety and number of tutorials being put up each day by sites in the community. If you haven't been to these sites yet, I highly recommend th ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Stream Based Data Processing using LINQ

  I have been very excited about the new Object Query support in LINQ especially so when I realized that it implemented Lazy Evaluation since this is essential to implementing stream based processing however I am now running into an old problem that I have had with templates from 2.0 onwards and which has preented me using them extensiveloy in my work. This is the problem with doing simple arithmetic with a templated object. I notice that in the code expansion for a simple object query (Wes Dyers Blog - How Linq to Objects Queries Work) He shows the innerworkngs of a query as expanding to the following. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; delegate R Func<A,R>(A arg0); static class Program { static void ...Show All

• .NET Development converting output from transformNode to byte array

  Hello, Can someone tell me why solution 1 works, but solution 2 does NOT work; it results in truncated data. There has to be an easier way than soution 1. The goal is to get the string output from transformNode into a byte array. Thanks. Solution 1 (works, but seems like a round about way): Dim ReportDef() As Byte Dim ReportStr As String ReportStr = dom.transformNode(xsl) Using sw As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter( "c:\temp\TestOut.xml" ) sw.Write(ReportStr) sw.Close() End Using Dim Stream As System.IO.FileStream Stream = System.IO.File.OpenRead( "c:/temp/TestOut.xml" ) ReDim ReportDef(Stream.Length) Stream.Read(ReportDef, 0, Stream.Length) Stream.Cl ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How-to skin application?

  Hello, I am looking into the subject and have to say, that I feel a bit disoriented... :( My goal is to build the main application and allow our partners to develop skins that can be distributed/sold to product users. Obviously, we would like to make it hack-proof, so that "outsiders" cannot modify skins/develop new skins. Solution that comes to mind would be to have signed assemblies that would contain ResourceDictionaries (with optional related code), so that application could load those assemblies at run-time, validate them, and apply templates. I would guess that it is something easy to do, but I have unfortunate feeling that I am becoming almost sure that this scenario is not supported by WPF (I refuse t ...Show All

• .NET Development Selecting / Update records - Concurrancy

  I'm new to Visual Studio 2005 (Visual Basic). I'm an Oracle guy but I do allot of development in MS Access. I don't want to use ADO.NET's generic behaviour for record locking, etc. What I'd really like to do is to have the same behaviour as Access has where if a user changes a field, the database locks the record. I was wondering if you had any sample code that would allow me to set up a form that has a combo box on the top of the form where the user selects a record. Then the database fetches the row and displays the data on the screen. If the user changes the data, the form locks the record. What's the best way to accomplish this I've heard that this can be accomplished using transaction control but I haven't found any form / ...Show All
