• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Missile Commandeer

  First XNA game...done!  It's an old school missile commander clone (only its CommandeEr, like pirates...ARRRR!!!).  I spent extra time to maintain the original "cutting edge" graphics to make it a true classic.  Check it out... (I just added the screenshots, game and source code to my website) Click here for the game    Improvements to come: - MIRV missiles - Extra lives - High scores - suggestions Nice update, I especially like the MIRVs. I haven't played it much but my top score is 16440 on level 18. I'm pretty sure that other people have done way better :) I think the score penalty for hitting destroyed cities should be raised again. The problem that I f ...Show All

• Windows Forms is there any way to scan a windows form for controls and objects ?

  Hi All, Is there any way or application which scans a windows form (or even multiple forms at a time) and gives you the controls and objects prosent in the form. The similar app is available in PowerBuilder... Any help is greatly appreciated. Vivek Natani I was just wondering if any such kind of generic app available and ready to use. The app should take any windows application project as input and gives you all the available forms. User should be able to select the froms and then get them scanned for controls and objects.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) InnerProxy in RC

  Can someone tell me what replaces the InnerProxy property on the DuplexClientBase class in the new WCF RC install Playing with some sample code, i had : base .InnerProxy.Say(message); but InnerProxy is gone and lines such as .. (( IHelloMesh ) base .InnerDuplexChannel).Say(message); do not work. thanks, Steven http://stevenR2.com Hello, I'm not sure if you need to access InnerDuplexChannel, based on the code snippet that you've included. If you're simply trying to call the methods on the IHelloMesh interface, you can simply new up a proxy instance (as generated by svcutil.exe -- derived from System.ServiceModel.DuplexClientBase) and call the methods.

• Visual C++ ASSERT error on Visual Studio .NET 2003

  I have a dialog mfc application with a main dialog. With a button in the main dialog I launch a second dialog. All the controls in this second dialog worked fine. But for some reason everything went wrong. I placed a list box for example on the dialog and I added a control variable for it and I called it NameList. Then I have a piece of code in the dialog NameList.ResetContent(); It compiles fine with no problem, then when I run my application and launch the second dialog it works great. But as soon as the NameList.ResetContent(); code executes I get the assertion error. Here is some details about the error: afxwin2.inl line 698 (The code on line 698 are given below) _AFXWIN_INLINE void CListBox::ResetContent() { ASSERT(::Is ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Error Referencing DLL in VBA

  Hi ! I have prepared an MSI Installer for my XLA to be deployed on the server, the MSI contains all the DLL referenced by the XLA. The MSI runs fine but when I try to open Excel on that server it gives me a reference error, I have to *explicitely* go in VBA Editor and set the reference for the erroring DLL, after that the XLA works fine. The strange thing is that in the MSI I have set the path to D:\ Prog Files\... but strangely the MISSING reference in the Refernce dialog box shows C:\Prog File \.... Can this be because the server registry has not been cleaned up or perhaps there are more than one DLL registered Do we need to Uninstall (from Add/ Remove Progs) the MSI from the server (if it was previously isntalled on it) before act ...Show All
