• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. using XNA Framework with no shader capability display driver???

  I have Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME graphic card with no support for shaders. Is it possible to develop a 3d application with XNA Framework under this condition.When I run a tutorial project I got the message "Both a valid vertex shader and pixel shader (or valid effect) must be set on the device before draw operations may be performed." I am new to XNA concept. Before I was developing with MDX 1.1 and I can develop 3d application with out shader support. So how can do this with XNA... Just those that are listed on the FAQ page - the shader requirement which you've already discovered. XP SP2 is also the supported OS though some have been able to get it to run under NT and Vista. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VS2003 against TFS

  Hi, I have migrated VS2003 project from VSS to TFS. I have installed MSSCCI Provider for connection with TFS from IDE VS2003. In IDE VS2003, I have connected to TFS. When I checked out some file under Source Control, then I changed it and Checked in, this file, project and solution kept in check out state. And I might to do undo check out. Sometime, this action made the problem, by rolling back the actions, which I did. I have also noticed that, TFS made double folder structure to local folders (It was copying parent folder to new folder which had the same name as parent folder), because TFS added new mappings to current workspace. It's expected behavior And what can I do instead of undo check out Thanks Janko The & ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Change the spellcheck language

  I can't find this info anywhere in the docs. Please let me know: 1) What languages are currently supported by the SpellCheck class. 2) How to specify the language to be used by the SpellCheck class (a code snippet would be great). Thanks! Thanks Lester.  I had seen your blog post on the subject, but didn't know what you meant by the "input language set on the control" and "keyboard input language."  A code snippet of those settings would have clarified it for me. EDIT ---------- Regarding whether the Spellchecker supports multiple languages, I didn't know if your blog post was out-of-date in that regard. ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem Exporting Web Page with Graphic to Excel or MSWord

  I have a report that runs as part of a large intranet website. I need to be able to export most of the web page to Excel or to MSWord. I have most of this working. The problem is that the web page contains a graphic (a company logo) and I cannot figure out how to get the graphic to export along with the rest of the data. The approach that I have taken is summarized as follows. Obviously the application is more involved than this example, but it illustrates what I am doing. Step 1 - Create a temporary file on the server to hold the data, e.g. tempfilename = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath) & "\Tempdir\TempFile.html" outputstream = New StreamWriter(tempfilename) Step 2 ...Show All
