• .NET Development Starting point for 3D graphics in VB.Net

  I am using VS2005 (VB.Net). My program need to import 3D (x, y, z) points and display their relative location in a window. In the past I have only worked with 2D (x, y) points which were not a problem. My questions are: Is it possible to simulate "limited" 3D graphics in VB.Net What would be the best way to plot 3D points in VB.Net Thanks Hi The GDI+ does not support 3D primitives therefore you must handle how you want to represent the third dimension within your code. I found an example for you to start with http://www.codeguru.com/columns/VB/article.php/c8185/ . But, my suggestion will be to use DirectX in order to render your points, it will take you half/day to understand the basics but once you ren ...Show All

• Visual Basic navigation between forms

  i have a project with 17 different forms all being housed in a mdi parent form. i have tried to impliment a previous button on most of the forms, which is complicated by the fact that there is more than one way to get to some of the forms at this stage, i have used a global variable which is changed each time a form is closed, then a case statement within the previousbutton_clicked event procedure that will use the variable to figure out which form to go back to. this seems to work, but i was wondering if anyone knows an easier or better structured way of achieving this functionality. any ideas will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance, Mark thank you for the response i am trying to go bac ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Spacewar not working correctly

  Hi, I've downloaded all the necessary components and was playing around with the Spacewar starter kit. I can launch the game but it seems like it's missing a lot of the objects. For example when I start the game I can hear the ship moving around, but I can's see it. Only the jets are visible. Also the background is not visible. The only thing that I can see is the score, the time and a couple graphics in the corners of the screen. The rest is black. Doesn't matter if I start the game in retro mode or not. Am I missing something Thanks. That could be it. I have an older graphics card, actually a GeForce 2 Ultra. Does anyone know if this will cause other problems Thanks for the answer. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Deploying multiple EXE's using the basic publish mechanism of the IDE

  I have a rather convoluted project. The distributable will come in eight different flavors, each with its main program, libraries, datafiles, doco, etc. Each flavor will also have one or more standalone executables that can be called as tools from within the main program. To complicate matters I'm using VSS 2005 to track everyting and I'm trying to use links both within the IDE and VSS to minimize the possibility of error and to let the IDE do all the work at build time. This works great with the datafiles, doco, etc. (Though I wish that it were possible to use the content / copy mechanism to copy to directories parallel or even below bin rather than within bin. It's nice to have the readme file in the root. Anyone at MS listening BT ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Database Project Build

  I'm receiving an error when building my project. I am creating tables/indexes on specific filegroups. Those filegroups exist on the target server. When I try to build, I get error messages saying that it's invalid. How do I fix this I would guess, since you are building and that is done based on the local validation database, that you will have to have the filegroup defined locally too (Similar to external references) Or am I off base Alle ...Show All

• Visual C# C# 2005 ignoring STAThread attribute

  Greetings. I'm developing a WinForms-driven application, and I need it to use Single Threaded model for COM interop. C# 2003 worked fine with [STAThread] attribute above main() declaration. But we just upgraded our machines to VS 2005, and our application is failing due COM errors. We found C# 2005 is creating the main thread as Multithreading model, regardless the STA attribute. Any idea why is this happening . Here is a snippet of our entry point code, not complex at all. Putting a breakpoint in the first line of main(), already shows the System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.ApartmentState as System.Threading.ApartmentState.MTA. #region Main /// <summary> /// The main entry point for the applica ...Show All
