• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. texture wrapping in XNA

  Hi We're doing a school project, creating a 3d shooter game in XNA, and we had a lot of stuff working great in Beta1, but then comes Beta2 and woe for a change. First of all, the tilable texture we're using for the landscape suddenly isn't wrapping correctly, but turns into a bunch of lines going out from the texture in each direction, while anything not parallel with the texture is simply some blurry base colour of the texture. I've searched a lot for some wrapping method in XNA, but the closest is something with wrap0 which really isn't described how works, and I haven't made it work yet. Could someone please tell me how to make the texture repeat itself again I tried add the codelines into our shader, so it looks like thi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System "Multi" not recognized word

  Added "Multi" to the custom dictionary, however FxCop still comes back with error. e.g. "Correct the spelling of the unrecognized token 'Multi' in member name 'Fields.MultiHitSubmitCountEdit'." I have succesfully added other words to the dictionary but "Multi" does not seem to work. Any ideas Thx. This is a known issue, that the fix, unfortunately, could not make it into FxCop 1.35. This will be fixed in the next version of FxCop. 'Multi' was orginally added to our internal unrecognized words as exists in the dictionary, however, it is a prefix and is not considered a word.   ...Show All

• Visual C# accessing network drives from a windows service

  Hi, I have a windows service currently written in c# v1.1 which I'm trying to port to c# version 2. What I am trying to do is to read all files in all root subdirectories of a network path and store the filenames in a database. My code for doing this looks like // get the list of directories string [] fileEntries = Directory .GetDirectories( ConfigurationSettings .AppSettings[ "FileWatcherPath" ]); foreach ( string fileName in fileEntries) { // do stuff } However it complains that it can't access the P drive, where the files are. At first I thought it might be a permissions problem, but even using the administrator account didn't solve this. Any pointers on how to do this ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista not appending primary DNS suffix beyond one level deep, Anyone Seen this ?

  This is new to Vista as XP works fine. When you simply set append Primary DNS suffix, the system should always append it, such that is your domain is mydomain.com, and you look up www, it should append so the FQDN=www.mydomian.com That seems to work fine, but if you do one more deep, such as www.test , you would expect as in XP and in DNS in general to append the primary suffix, such that the FQDN = www.test.mydomain.com Vista does not do this, and this is a very major problem for our company as we have many DNS zones and normally the user does not need to append the domain he/she is in and it should recursive lookup. It is not. We are not going to GPO 100 domain suffixes to each workstation just so they don’t have to type the & ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Live UDF

  Hello There, What is Live UDF Does the optical platform support third party UDF implementations How do we ensure compatibility of Live UDF with OSTA standard Rgds, Posting here to answer my own questions, somewhat, and to present these questions therefore in a different way... I found the reg key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\UdfsCloseSessionOnEject. This key is set via Windows Explorer in response to the checkbox the user can use to select/deselect close on eject.

• Windows Forms Creating”alert” when new file arrives

  Hello! I hope this is the proper forum for this. Every day a computer sends out new files to a certain folder in my computer. I am to check these files when they arrive, ASAP. However they come within a one hour window. This means that I have to check my folder every five minutes during the waiting time if I want to be able to check the files as they arrive. Therefore I would like to make some form of “alert” that notifies me when new files arrive in my folder, preferably but necessarily using audio. Is this possible If so how can you do it Any help very much appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance! I know I can minimize the window showing the folder and just have it at the corner of my screen but that is not very convenient as I ...Show All

• .NET Development Trace.Refresh() call fails

  Hello all. I am trying to catch changes in my app.config file and refresh Trace class on any change. I am using FileSystemWatcher class instance to be notified about any change. When the "on change" event raised i call Trace.Refresh(). However, i get exception each time it is happening. Exception says there is multiple access to the file. I tried to edit app.config from FarManager application's editor and from notepad. How i can refresh the Trace object without getting this exception Thank you Yes. It seems your guess was correct. I tested TraceSource instance with Trace.Refresh and it is updated. Very said news, since it forces me to create a single-tone object in the code while i have a built-in one. Hope t ...Show All
