• .NET Development Int64.Parse() and Hex Values

  Hello, I have a question regarding the way a hex string goes into an Int64. Does the Parse method assume that the string is in big endian format I have a problem I am trying to figure out and it basically comes down to, when I put a string of hex values into a Int64 and then use a bit converter to bet a byte array from it, it appears to be in reverse byte order when it comes out. Does anyone have any clues on why this is. Thanks Isaac -- Yes, makes sense that it trips you up. From seeing the bytes in the file to going to the hexadecimal representation to putting it back into an integer to seeing the bytes it produces is one mental jump too many for most of us. Grokking hex and byte order makes you a proud new member of the in-crowd. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Dual layer

  Does IMAPI support writing to DVD dual layer Are there any example clients for that for both files and ISO image burning (for ISO images there's a DVDburn tool at nt resource kit, but not sure if it supports vista) You are able to use Live UDF on DVD+/-R disks as long as you leave the session open. To eject the disc and still be able to continue adding content on DL discs, you need to disable session closing in the drive properties, Recording, Global Settings. If you leave the default option, Live UDF will work on blank media, but you will not be able to add data to DL discs after the first eject. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) type inference

  Theres been some comments in this forum about some interesting developments to come on the type inference front. Any chance of getting some information on what is being considered/done, and when we might expect to see it Hi there, We are looking at one problem with type inference of generic methods, which is that all inferences for a given type parameter currently have to agree completely. For the Join operator in LINQ, for instance that has some consequences: IEnumerable<V> Join<T,U,K,V>( this IEnumerable<T> outer, IEnumerable<U> inner, Func<T,K> outerKeySelector, Func<U,K> innerKeySelector, Func<T,U,V> resultSelector); Here the two key selector arguments have to have exactly the sa ...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

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. exporting x and fbx files

  Hi there chaps - I'm fearful that this question has been asked before but lots of searching could not find it. In essence - if I export a model in 3D studio Max (version 7) in both x and fbx format, neither displays using the (excellent - thanks guys) 3D sample code. That's not entirely true - the x file displays but completely white, the texture barely visible. The fbx file has the right texturing but many of the polygons are linked incorrectly, or have wandering vertices. The fbx is in some sort of binary format incidentally. Now, my question after all that intro - what exporters do people recommend for 3dsMax - for either FBX or X files Or is there some very stupid option I'm not turning on (eg - X file exporter's hidden Tipp-Ex all ...Show All
