• Visual Basic Identify a person with his picture

  Hi, If I have a picture with a person in it how can I separate the person face from the picture I want to develop an application that can identify a person with his picture. What I’m thinking to accomplish this is doing some steps: 1. Separate only the person’s face from the picture and draw it in points and lines. This will help find a match that is similar with points and lines. The pictures that are with the person’s data have to be treated the same way. 2. If the person in the picture is facing some side (left, right, down or up) the face has to be draw straight. If there is some other way of doing this or if is already a sample code that does this, please tell me. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. .X features supported in XNA?

  Hi, I'm currently working on a .x exporter for XSI with shader support. However I have some questions regarding exactly what features are supported in XNA. Setting the technique in the .x file does not seem to work: EffectParamDWord { "technique"; 3; } XNA always renders using the first technique in the shader, unless you manually set it with Effect.CurrentTechnique :( Also what part and version of DXSAS is supported It would be nice if semantics used in e.g. FxComposer just worked with XNA, e.g things like: float4x4 WorldIT : WorldInverseTranspose; float4x4 WorldViewProj : WorldViewProjection; float4x4 World : World ; float4x4 ViewI : ViewInverse ; Or do you have to manually parse all effect param ...Show All

• Visual C++ How do you make a single file compile without making a whole project in vc++ 2005?

  Now this is totally absurd. I am learning C++ as a beginning programmer and bought vc++ 2005 and installed it but its so freaky complicated further more inroder to make simple programs such as heelo world, adding 2 integers, etc you have to make them into projects for them to compile when i used a new file option there wasnt any option for building or compiling. Everytime i have to solve an exercise from my book i have to make a new whole seperate project with there headerfiles,source files etc how can you make a only single .cpp file and get it to compile in vc++ 2005 There is an option inside the project properties under the c\c++ folder called "enable minimal rebuild".

• Windows Forms Invisible Column

  Hi all, I want to prepare 2 columns in my DGV: 1 column for displaying "text" and another one displaying "value". E.g. ColA ColB First Name firstname In the backend, I'll loop through all DGV row and I want to obtain the "value" from ColB for further processing (ColA containing space and for display only). I set the ColB.Width = 0 and DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.None, but the column still visible. If I set the ColB.Visible = false then I can't loop through that column value programmatically (e.g. at the CellFormatting Event). Any solution to this situation Thanks, Any Microsoftee or expert know where I can ask this question to Can I bubble this question up to the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Missing effect.Name and effect.Tag

  Hello I’m getting stucked in designing a ResourcenManager for XNA GS. Some basic thoughts : -          For bigger scenes it is not wise to load just models and manage them, because they hold   Effects and Textures. It would be a better idea to manage Effects and Textures separately, so that you can share them between ModelMeshes. In some cases it would be even better to share ModelMeshes too. -          To export a model, for example from a model tool to a x-file, you have to handle the material convertion problem (since the time of shaders). Maybe your model tool supports fx shader, but these are mostly not compatible with those in Game ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Mouse Position During Drag-And-Drop

  What is the recommended way of getting the mouse cursor position during a drag-and-drop operation Using Mouse.GetPosition() or DragEventArgs.GetPosition() always returns some incorrect value. I just noticed that Dan Crevier circumvented this issue by Pinvoking into userland ( http://blogs.msdn.com/llobo/archive/2006/09/06/Scrolling-Scrollviewer-on-Mouse-Drag-at-the-boundaries.aspx ) but I would prefer to avoid that. Is there a reason why the WPF APIs for retrieving the mouse position do not work properly during drag-and-drop operations Mouse.GetPostion(element) gets the mouse Coordinates *relative* to an element. Most people assume mouse coordinates are absolute and write buggy mouse logic. For instance code that drags an el ...Show All
