• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. mesh not rendering

  I set up my camera matrix to look at the origin. Then in my render loop I transform to the cameras matrix d3d->GetDevice()->SetTransform(D3DTS_VIEW, camera.GetViewMatrix()); begin the scene and set the render state. d3d->BeginScene(); d3d->GetDevice()->SetRenderState(D3DRS_FILLMODE, D3DFILL_WIREFRAME); then transform to the meshes matrix d3d->GetDevice()->SetTransform(D3DTS_WORLD, m_Object->GetMatrix()); and render the mesh m_Object->Render(d3d->GetDevice(), &meshes[m_Object->GetMesh()]); end the scene. nothing shows up on the screen, I took a look in the debugger and everything is positioned where it should be, is this not the proper way to set up the render loop. ...Show All

• Windows Forms UserAppDataPath not returning a value ?

  I've written a program in C# Express and can run it successfully on my own computer. This program uses the Application.UserAppDataPath property to store my selected options in an xml file. I've deployed this program via ClickOnce from my web site to my girlfriend's machine. When she tries to run the program, the program won't save her options like my copy does. There seems to be no UserAppDataPath being created on her computer, and so the program doesn't run right. Is there some kind of limitation of ClickOnce deployment, or something security-related I haven't enabled or some such adam I should add that no exception is thrown when the program runs on the other computer, it just doesn't do what m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Automation server can't create object - figured out my problem

  Recently I was working in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 and all of a sudden I couldn't create a new project. I tried creating a Visual C++ Project (Console Application .NET) but I always got the error message: "Microsoft Development Environment >> Automation server can't create object". I then searched Google for that error message and found a page that said that downloading the "WindowsXP-Windows2000-Script56-KB917344-x86-enu.exe" update would fix this ( http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=C717D943-7E4B-4622-86EB-95A22B832CAA&displaylang=en ) So I downloaded that update and installed it.

• Software Development for Windows Vista New Browser Windows when calling IWebBrowser2::Navigate

  EDIT: See my last post for more information about specifically what's happening (in regards to the IInternetSecurityManager not being queried for). I have a dialog in my code with an embedded browser control.  Previously (XP and IE6), it worked correctly, the embedded control could display web pages properly inside itself.  On Vista, I am having a strange issue that instead of loading the page on itself, it creates a new browser window and loads the page there instead.  I have tracked it all down to IWebBrowser2::Navigate.  As soon as I call this, the new browser window is created and the page loaded there. There is another thread with this same issue, but no solution was ever posted.  Has anyone else encounter ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. question on creating custom background

  Hello all ^^ I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to let me know how to create my own custom background into my game. I used The Gimp to make kind of a Space-looking .png file, but im not quite sure as to how to go about replacing the CornFlowerBlue color background with the picture. Any help would be much appreciated. Thankyou! ^_^ A correct way of doing it would be: Create a SpriteBatch, a Rectangle, and a Texture2D in your class. In the class constructor and the Window.ClientSizeChanged eventhandler, set the Rectangle to (0, 0, Window.ClientWidth, Window.ClientHeight). Load the Texture2D from the file, and create the new spritebatch in the class constructor. In the drawing part, aft ...Show All
