• .NET Development xml - excel

  Hi, I have been given an .xml file to investigate how it produces data. Basically there is a file called testData.xml when this file is double clicked, it opens up in excel with data. If you right click and open in excel then a properly formatted excel workbook with two named sheets appear which have both got formatted data in them. I have pasted the first few lines of the xml file for you to see. Could you let me know how this is possible and where is the data coming from < xml version="1.0" > - <Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns:ss="urn:schemas- ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Studio Express starts multiple instances of msvsmon when building.

  Hi, Every time I run or build a project from Visual Studio Express (c#) it starts about 20 instances of msvsmon (the remote debug monitor) in the background. They aren't visible on screen, only through task manager. They remain running for about 20-30 seconds (even if the build only took a second or two), then all close. Is this normal behaviour What are they doing How do I stop them from running as they appear to be having a negative impact on performance. Thanks in advance.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE while build of first example in help how to do

  I used to code in pascal, cobol, assembly, basic, etc, but not C. From: Your First Game: Microsoft XNA Game Studio Express in 2D following along and doing the first build, I get the error above. I did not think I was calling the 3d engine only the 2d. I cannot find any help on the error, where to look, etc, except what is in the error window when you cursor over it. I cannot figure out how to copy the error in that popup window to look at it further. I know some dislike nubies, but please help if you know the answer. Its disheartening to type in only 6 lines of code and not be able to debug it! To say the least.

• Visual C++ Cannot save file XXXX_XXXX

  Hi all, I am using VS2005, SP1. Suddently, I cannot save the project *.rc file any more. Whenever I make a change to a dialog, clicking on the save button will give me the following error: Cannot save file xxx.rc (where xxx is the full path name of my rc file). I am working in a C++ environment with P4 for source control. Prior to making the change, I did checked out the resource.h and the .RC file. Does anyone know why I get that error and VS cannot save the file Note that I can open the file with notepad and making any change and save it, but VS can't. What is going on. Can VS folks give a better message here instead of just "cannot save file" Does it log additional information some where Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Can you do this...?

  I'm looking for, I guess, some architectural advice. Ihaven't been able to locate many full blown examples of VSTO-based solutions (Where should I be looking ) so can't tell what the best approach is. I think I have a handle on the trees, but can't find the forest. The system to be built collects information from users by presenting a number of different pages, with some contents depending on previous questions. Much of what is to be collected involves the users in writing text that is paragraph-long (or longer). VSTO/Word seems to be the right way to go, but I think customer would prefer it if the solution didn't look like a modification to Word -- i.e., they want to make the editing capabilities available, but not have the applications f ...Show All

• Smart Device Development StackOverFlow Exception

  Hi, I’m working on a Pocket PC application in VB.Net on Compact Framework. There are many modules in this project, including 5 games. This an Icon based project and these icons are displayed using PictureBoxes. The problem: There are 3 events (Mouse Move, Mouse Down and Mouse Up ) associated with the array of Picture Boxes(icons). We are facing a problem: Multiple clicks results in a “ StackOverFlow Exception ” and the application crashes! (This might be because each click triggers 3 events as mentioned above ) Is it possible to detect the status of the stack and if so, how can the contents be deleted to avoid this Exception Can anybody suggest how this can be solved ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA will changes?

  Beta 1 and Beta 2 is very different to verision 1.0 The question is. XNA will changes in version 2.0, this version will be different to version 1.0 The games developed in version 1.0 have any problem with the version 2.0 or with the version for Vista I worry that my game not run in future version of XNA Sorry my English suck! ;( I can't say what we will do for sure, but generally speaking an API change between versions does not mean it breaks existing games. Look at MDX v1 and MDX v2. The API was different but MDX v1 apps weren't broken because they continued to run against the MDX v1 assemblies. The XNA Framework plays a similar role to MDX in terms of being a runtime component ...Show All
