  I have problem with system writen on .Net Framework 2.0.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 1.) Lock/Unlock vs. SetData/GetData and 2.) predefined vertex formats

  Two points spring currently to my mind. Is there any reason besides simplicity not to use the common Lock/Unlock mechanics I would prefer the addition of this to the API. GetData/SetData canthe simply be mapped onto this. I have a large terrain, that I tesselate into the locked buffer directly... With this new scheme I have to build a temporary array and then copy over via SetData, same with textures. On the other hand, if we have to live with this, why do we have the managed pool anymore, kind of pointless! The other thing are the predefined vertex formats... Any reason to not expose the members directly and use setters and getters instead I don't see the point here too, this just forces us to create one intermediate result and copy oper ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office QueryTables Digital Certificate Verification

  I'm using visual basic in excel to pull in data from a web site using QueryTables. The data pull works but every time the macro runs, a dialog box pops up requesting that I choose a digital certificate to communicate with the external web site. This digital certificate (there is only one) has been created and installed on the PC I am running the macro on. When I manually click "OK" on the dialog box the macro and data pull run properly. My question is how do I get rid of the dialog box and manual intervention. I have tried adding "application.displayalerts=false" before the querytable but this doesn't help. Note I also tried "displayalerts=true". Can someone please point me in the right direction ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to convert char string to Unicode?

  Hi -- I'm looking for a simple way to convert an ASCII string to Unicode. More specifically, I've got a function that starts out... int main (int argc, char *argv[]) And I need argv[1] converted to Unicode because I want to feed that string (it's a file name) to a Win32 API call SetNamedSecurityInfoW, which requires a filename (logically) but needs it in Unicode. I have tried using MultiByteToWideChar, but it doesn't like my argv[1]. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Dennis, but as I said I was using the command-line compiler and figuring out how to make it do Unicode looked like trouble. Thanks again! ...Show All

• Visual C# "Flags" Attribute -- Useless???

  Hi everyone, I've read all about the FlagsAttribute and it seems hardly useful. From the examples I've seen and the ones I've written myself, I can see only one simple case where using the FlagsAttribute is different from not using it: When you print an instance of a the " FlagsAttribute "-decorated enum , the resulting string contains the enum constants whose bits are set, rather than showing the underlying numeric value. Have a look at this snippet: [Flags] enum Fred : short { zero, one, two, four = 4, eight = 8 } class C_01 { private static void Main() { Fred f = (Fred)7; Console.WriteLine("f is " + f); } // Main() } // class C_01 When I run this snippet, I see this output: f is one, ...Show All
