• Windows Forms why are the forms properity reset itself?

  I create a form using vs2005 - vb, there is One more language (culutre) for this form. The form properity (Design) reset it self for the original form not for the culture design. ex.

• Community Chat My creation: Galaxy war (2D game using DirectX)

  Hello there. This is my game: Screens: Selecting a map, lets start on Easy Shooting stars in game, fun multiply backgrounds Lets see my score Download game: Galaxy war Official website (for more information) The game saves progress as you advance (the save is encrypted so forget cheating ;) There are multiply backgrounds and multiply ships.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) x:shared doesn't share all the way

  Hi, I've been trying to do a proof of concept of using XAML as a basis for IOC (Inversion Of Control pattern, or Dependancy Injection). The closest I got was by using ResourceDictionary . I've found the MergedDictionaries feature that would allow a solution to scale and x:Shared="false" that would allow new instances to be created at every access. Unfortunately, I found a rather disturbing behavior. Allow me to demonstrate the problem I found in boiler-plate code. Let's say I have the following App.xaml: < Application x:Class = " WindowsApplication2.App " xmlns = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation " xmlns:x = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml " ...Show All
