• Visual Studio integration of clearcase in vs2003 and vs2005 behaves differently

  hi, I have some third party implementation of clearcase integration with Visual studio. It works absolutely fine in vs2003 environment . However when I try the same in vs2005 env it create some temp files by name like "~sakeaa30dc101c6e236.sln" and something similar temp files corresponding to few more files. I do not understand why thes files get created. The properties say "Temporary file created by Visual studio to test clearase capabilties.." These files create problems when I add one more project to same place and try checking in. the project is registered by string "MSSCCI:clearcase" as SCC provider well there are few more differences in behavior in VS2005 . Does anyone have any pointer ...Show All

  I'm still hard at work on a new game I'm working on, but it's more for fun than anything I would submit for a contest.  But I really want to enter the dream, build, play contest too, I just don't think I'll have the time to do it all on my own.

• Visual C# Best way to marshal an array of C style strings

  im trying to create a parallel managed struct in a .net dll from a C application. in my C app i have a struct with this in it: struct myStruct { . . . char header[7][30]; } and i wanted a managed version. i havent found much on marshalling an array of c style strings... but it might be because im not using the right search words. i saw this example, would this be correct [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct myManagedStruct { . . .

• Windows Forms Tab Control problem

  Hi, I have a really interesting problem with tab control. I have a tabcontrol with allignment set to Bottom. All the tab pages are added programatically. If the tab pages are few then everything is fine. I get the left right buttons when I resize the form. When I have many tab pages, I don't get any left right buttons to scroll to the hidden tab pages. It looks really bad. I have not been able to find out what I am doing wrong. Can some one suggest a solution I am sure it just a small problem that I am not able to figure out. Thanks! Please post Windows Forms related questions in the Windows Forms forum.

• Visual Studio Team System SOAP Event, Failed to deserialize the eventXml for WorkItemChangedEvent

  Hi all, I'm writing a WebService to get notifications about the state change of the Work Item. I'm almost there, when a state is changed, my Notify() method is called, and the eventXml contains the XML info about the WorkItem. I wanted to create a C# object from the XML string, so I used the XSD.exe tool with the xsd delivered by Microsoft to create a new "WorkItemChangedEvent" class. The .cs file was generated successfully, but when I attemp to create my object like this: public void Notify ( string eventXml ) // Do not change the names of these parameters { XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer ( typeof ( WorkItemChangedEvent )); StringReader sr = new StringReader ( eventXml ); WorkItemChangedE ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Attenuation in XACT?

  Hi, I would like to attenuate a sound with growing distance to the listener, very much like DirectSound does with the MinDistance/MaxDistance parameters. I understand that I need to use an RPC for that and decrease the sound depending on the implicit variable Distance. Problem: I would like the sound to be inaudible at distance 10.000 (the DirectSound default). Since the range of the variable is 0 - 1.0000.000, the range 0 - 10.000 is only about 20 pixels wide on my screen. It is impossible to draw a meaningful attenuation curve that way... Question: Can I zoom in somehow Have I missed something important -- David We don't yet have a zoom control for the RPC window. However, if your distance r ...Show All

Your device definately supports Bluetooth (compliant with 1.2) using the WIDCOMM Bluetooth Stack therefore you can communicate using virtual serial ports over the Bluetooth radio medium. When you open the serial port the iPAQ will display a "Bluetooth Browser" window for you to select the target bluetooth device.

• Smart Device Development Version of Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK more recent than 5/10/2005?

  The web page for downloading the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK from Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=83A52AF2-F524-4EC5-9155-717CBE5D25ED&displaylang=en indicates that the SDK was last updated on 5/10/2005. Is there any way to get a more recent version of the SDK We are particularly interested in a fix to the time zone issue described at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=512572&SiteID=1&mode=1 . A link on this post indicates that the time zone problem was fixed in late 2005 or early 2006, so obviously a version of the SDK released on 5/10/2005 will not have this fix. I, too, need this fixed, and have opened a support incident. The service pa ...Show All
