• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Capture output from other compilers

  Hi. Not sure whether this question belongs in this forum or a more generic MSBuild one, but here goes. From reading responses to questions about using non Microsoft compilers (e.g. gcc) with MSBuild/XNABuild it seems that the conventional wisdom is to use the Exec task. However, the documentation for this states "One disadvantage of using the Exec task rather than a more specific task is that it cannot gather output from the tool or command that it runs." I am investigating MSBuild/XNABuild for use in a potentially multi-platform project, and would like to know if this caveat would mean that the display/parsing of compilation errors would be suppressed when using, for instance, gcc. The ideal goal would be to use Visual Studio as ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) problem orcas converts old sln and vcproj files

  Prior to winfx beta 2 and related orcas release I could work with my older sln and vcproj files just fine and run my non-winfx code. However with the latest orcas release it wants to convert to the newer 9.0 format. Canceling the conversion means you can't work with non-winfx code. Is there a way to turn that off or two have two versions of vs 2005 on the same machine. One with orcas and one without. Hi David, I'm working to get the project folks to take a look at this situation. In the mean time, can you confirm that you're talking about .vcproj files, and not .vbproj or .csproj In other words, this is a question about C++ projects If so, I'll be doubly confused because there are no changes to the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problem with DirectX and Visual Studio 2k5

  Hey,    I've noticed something very wierd. I am using Visual Studio 2k5 for sometime but I've never tried to complile my previous Direct3D relelated projects on this release of Visual Studio, maybe because it never occured because the machine that I was developing them had 2k3. Now for the Problem if you create a Win32 default application with MFC support (or not) that you try to write the following stuff you get linker errors and sometimes complier errors. I've never had them before and I don't know why they are occur. I checked for the Project Properties, altered some stuff (such the use of precompiled headers etc with no luck :S). The DirectX samples compile fine but I don't know the cause of the pr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Error "The string binding is invalid" on application exit

  Hello again, I am getting an error when my application exits. It happens after the last object of the main function is destroyed. I guess it happens during the destruction of the static objects, but I can’t find which one because the debugger says there is no source code available for the location of the error. These are the messages sent to the output window at the application exit: The thread 'Win32 Thread' (0xb00) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
