• Windows Forms ClickOnce file share icon?

  This is probably a really basic (maybe stupid) question, but I have done several searches and haven't found an answer Here's one version of the documentation I'm referring to: Install from the Web or a Network Share Using this strategy, your application is deployed to a Web server or a network file share. When an end user wants to install the application, he or she clicks an icon on a Web page or double-clicks an icon on the file share. The application is then downloaded, installed, and started on the end user's computer. Items are added to the Start menu and the Add/Remove Programs group in the Control Panel . Where is the icon they are referring to in the statement: double-clicks an icon on the file share When I pub ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Performance profiler and obfuscator

  I have two software questions. First of all does anyone know a good performance profiler package (besides CLR) Secondly, what is the best way to secure your intellectual property, by using an obfuscator or are there alternatives. What are the thoughts of Microsoft on this part. Cheers! When you park your car, what's a good way to make sure nobody will break into it In general, you don't worry about it. Chances are small that someone will smash your window, because most people are law-abiding, and for those who aren't, there are many, many cars to choose from. Chances are, the protection you get from the intellectual property laws are sufficient to prevent any large-scale theft of your code or art. ...Show All
