Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 2d Platforms
I understand it'd be pretty difficult to help me with a problem with me just describing it, without seeing code so... http://skynes.tripod.com/TheWizard.zip There's a link to a zip file containing my XNA project and all images. The Project so far is a mix of a couple of tutorials I found online (2d wizard and a tile engine) along with sprites I found online. I haven't made any of my own sprites yet cause I don't see the point until I have everything working, but I will be using all my own original sprites when it works. Anyway. So far it's a wizard who can jump and shoot fireballs. An enemy (movement currently commented out) walks across the screen, firballs dont do anything yet, but touching the enemy costs you a life.

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. The values used in the attempt to create the GraphicsDevice were invalid.
Is this because my graphic card does not support shader model 2 I didn't even know of this requirement till I saw it on the readme file. Time to change my geforce4 What type of card do you have We should be giving a better exception message than that (i.e. we check for lots of things and throw better exceptions but that one must have slipped through.) ...Show All
Visual Studio Licensing question
My apologizies if this is posted in the wrong forum. I was wondering if there is any way to purchase a single user license for Visual Studio 2005 Professional edition We have the product already installed, but need to install it on 2nd workstation. We were hoping to avoid purchasing the full package, and instead, simply purchasing a 2nd user license. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I think the best place to ask your question would be to actually phone up the Microsoft Product Support Services (more of a technical support really) but they will be able to transfer you on request to your licensing query. http://support.microsoft.com/contactussupport/ ws=support ...Show All
Visual Studio Express Editions Open File
I have searched every where for this and I can't find what I need. I made a ListView and it is populating file names based on a certain directory on local hard drive.

.NET Development .Net Remoting and Network Load Balancing
Hello, I am a little unclear on how Network Load Balancing on Windows Server 2003 handles single call remote object requests. With a single call object the target server will just keep creating instances of the object and allow it to handle the request. How does load balancing "know" when a server is loaded I know there is a ten second connection window between the client and the server but can Network Load Balancing take into concideration the number of remote objects that currently exist on a server in the group Or maybe it tracks connections Again I am unsure and any help will be appreciated. BH I believe I have the answer. When a client requests a remote object of any type, clien ...Show All
SQL Server Working around Temp tables in Reporting services.
I have been working for days to translate a report out of an old system and in SQL reporting services. Getting the basic code down to get the required data was easy, however getting it to work in reporting services has turned into a nightmare. Why, because I have been told that SQL reporting services does not allow temporary tables...HUH! Ok, so how am I supposed to take three data queries and munge them together into a report. Here is the query that does work, can anyone give me an idea of how to make this work given the limitations I have run up against. I have already thought of using a store procedure, but we have ruled that out since would likely have to do it via linked servers, which would be expensive. We thought of ...Show All

.NET Development Fixed Length Text File
In c# VC 2005 - How do I read in a fixed length text file - keeping the fields in an array Sample format "A 2222222 2007/01/01 5.55 " StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(filePathHere); string line = sr.ReadLine(); string[] words = sr.Split(' '); // or string[] words = sr.Split('\t'); sr.Close(); For this to work fine you need to have right Delimeter. Otherwise you'll not get the right results. If you need to read all lines then you need a Loop on sr.ReadLine() like while((string line = sr.ReadLine()) != null) { } I hope this will help.
