• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Model appers semi-transparent

  Hi, i have a simple project that displays a model. This model is in the .x format and is completely opaque when viewed with the DirectX model viewer. However, when I run the project, the model appears semi-transparent as shown: http://www.alanphipps.com/temp/dice.jpg I have searched through the forums and I have changed many of the AlphaBlend/Renderstate options, having them as both true and false, but to no avail. does anyone now how to make my model opaque. thanks ps. The project is basically a copy of the " How to: Render a Model" tutorial from the XNA GSE help files I had the same problem but fixed it by enabling the depth buffer immediately before rendering a mesh. graphi ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Coordinate system and matrix inconsitencies

  I still don't understand the intent of not using DirectX's left handed coordinate system. I thought it made sence at first, since OpenGL uses a right handed coordinate system.It would open up for easier porting of OpenGL code and interop integration with OpenGL libraries. Now I would prefer to have things the same way as DirectX so that I can easily use libraries and code from DirectX, but that's me. I can still say that all is good and a right handed system is just fine. But then I notice that matrices in XNA use row major representation, just like DirectX and not like OpenGL's column major matrices. Now it is only a matter of the order you multiply your matrices in and it really doesn't matter which one you use as long as you know whi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Forms help please... :)

  Ok, I have got 2 forms, 'FormA' containes a RTF Text Box and is my main form, and 'FormB' is my search query form. In FormB they type in what they would like to search for in FormA. When the user searches for a specific text with FormB, nothing in FormA is highlighted unless FormB is closed or no longer has focus. I have verified that everything is working, and it is searching but the highlighted text is not being shown while any other form has focus. For an example, Windows Notepad... if you do a 'Find', the text box behind the Find box highlights text and returns focus onto the Find box. When I do this with my program, if my Find box (FormB) is focused, the highlight goes away unless I give my main screen focus again. I would li ...Show All

• .NET Development viewing all memory objects

  Is there anything that will work simular to the watch, but list instead all objects existing in the current process (assuming debugger mode + PDB) No because there is simply too much data to look at. You can use the Register windows to view the current register contents. You can use Memory to view the memory of the process. The Call Stack window will show you all the stack-based objects defined for all frames in the stack (from main on up). The only objects that are not directly accessible are those on the heap (you'll have to use Memory ) and those that are no longer referenced but haven't been GC'ed yet. You can use Register and Memory to enumerate these but it won't be easy. Michael Taylor - 9/26/06 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Unable to install Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office.

  When trying to install VSTO 2005, I get the following error message; Office 2003 Service Pack 1 Microsoft Office 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) is not installed on this computer. You must install an edition of Office 2003 that supports Micorosft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System before you can continue with installation.

• SQL Server Misnumbered pages in PDF Export

  I have a customer who periodically is getting misnumbered pages in their PDF export. For example, if a report contains 2 pages, there may be 4 pages total, and the footer where I display the number of pages is incorrect. It looks like this: Page 1 of 2 Page 2 of 2 Page 3 of 2 Page 4 of 2 There are blank pages thrown between the pages that contain content. At first I thought it was the tables spilling over to create vertical content, but that is not the case. It does not happen with every report, and this report appears to be well within the page margins. ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with data-driven subscription

  I have a data-driven subscription that launches once a day and delivers emails to subscribers. The problem is that it delivers only about half the emails. It runs ok and then it produces error. I ran it once and it ran ok and completed without errors. 20 minutes later it produced errors.

• SQL Server .Net DataProvider for SAP Timeout

  I am using the .Net DataProvider for SAP. When importing data I receive an error, when calling sap functions via exec. The errors vary (e.g. Error 0xc0047062: Data Flow Task: Microsoft.Adapter.SAP.SAPManagedProviderException: System.OutOfMemoryException: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.) On the sap-side the function runs, but it takes a few minutes. I can ask the sap-bw team to speed up their performance, but this is political. The sql-timeout parameter is not working with this datareader. Have you any proposal that solves the problem. Thanks I'm tested the whole week and found out: The timeouts in the .Net DataProvider for SAP occurs, if the functi ...Show All

• Windows Forms Enterprise Library 2006 and TableAdapters

  What would be the implementation details for TableAdapters to work in conjunction with the Enterprise Library I was planning on passing Typed Datasets through the tiers using the Data Application Blocks but I fail to see where the TableAdapters would fit in. Thanks TableAdapters don't fit in for use with the Enterprise Library 2006. Although there is nothing stopping you from using them in conjunction, they are considered alternative solutions to the data access problem. Enterprise Library is a helper library for "generic" data access, whereas TableAdapters govern data access to a specific Database Table. Regards, Dave ...Show All

• Visual C# Listview checkboxes misaligned when SmallImageList is set

  I have a ListView control on a C# Windows form. The ListView is in Details view mode. I have set the CheckBoxes property to True to have checkboxes shown in the list. I want to be able to show a sorting direction arrow in the ListView's column headers. For this purpose I set the SmallImageList property to an ImageList containing arrow bitmaps. My problem is that when I set the SmallImageList property of the ListView the checkboxes become misaligned. They are not placed correctly within each listview row. They all appear a few pixels too high up. What am I doing wrong Any suggestions, please Bo Skjoett The reason for the misalignment is that the ImageSize property of the ImageList assigned to Sma ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Generating an assembly error with the mscorlib when building sln

  When we build the solution we are getting this error: An assembly with the same identity "mscorlib, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1c9e259686f921e0' has already been imported. Try removing one of the duplicate references. We searched the solution and the C: Drive for a duplicate, but there isn't one. We've removed the mscorlib from the solution and it will start to build, but then an error that starts with 800 comes up with no explanation. We've gone as far as replacing the reference file from our game with the one from Spacewars. This actually got the game to deploy to the Xbox, but then it crashes when we try to play. Does this sound familiar to anyone Thanks in advance for any advice J.Rizzo ...Show All
