• Windows Forms Localize messageboxbuttons

  Is there a way that i can localize messageboxbuttons meaning if my form is frensh: messageboxbuttons instead of "Yes" and "No" should be "Oui" and "Non" and so on Thank you .NET uses Windows to generate and display the message box. Windows localizes it to the installed language so all message boxes in every app use the same language. So, to get Oui or Non, you need to run the French version of Windows. If that's not good enough, you'll have to make your own. That's not as easy as it looks... ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Drawing 2D primitives?

  I already asked Derek this question, but as request- I'm reposting the question publicly so we all can learn anyway- the question is how to draw lines/2D primitives in XNA.  essentially- how would i construct a series of lines from point a to b to c to d to etc... ive read solutions from back in beta1 here that stated its a very long/tedious amount of code compared to textures that take only about 3-4 lines to draw.  i was wondering if by now they added somethign like the simplicity in Java where its just graphic.drawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2);   and theres a line from (x1, y1) to (x2, y2) i checked the documentation and only found primitives in 3D what would be the closest in XNA ...Show All

• Visual C++ I am sorry to ask a question about 16 bit vc++ compiler

  I know Microsoft is not supporting 16 bit version of vc++. But I have a problem which I need to escalate any way. My question is Is it possible to install vc++ 1.52 (16bit compiler) in a 32bit operating system(Windows XP)  and compile or build programs I would appriciate if anybody can extend some help to me. Once again I am sorry to ask question on a non supported compiler You can still use the 16-bit VC compiler on 32-bit versions of Windows.

• SQL Server SQL Server CE Replication: Integrity error, but not at all

  Error information: NativeError: 28549 HRESULT: -2147217873 Message: OrdersHeader,Delete,{0503BF00-BB05-11C6-8000-36BC4ADEE342} Description: The row update or insert cannot be reapplied due to an integrity violation. Server side: SQL Server 2000 or MSDE Client side: SQL Server CE or SQL Mobile This error is usually caused because of an error on the filters. But not in this case, i think. I assume it's not a filter error because if I delete the SDF and run the sync it works. The error occurs when I delete some rows in the server (parent( OrdersHeader ) and child( OrderLines ) tables) and the PocketPC stills have this rows. On the next synchronization It seems that replication process tries to delete the OrdersHeader rows before the OrderLin ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Registering user GameComponent with GameServices

  I'm finishing up work on porting some of my libraries as XNA GameComponents and I'd like to register some features with Game.GameServices . I've tried looking at the IGraphicsDeviceService definiton but came up short. Does the GraphicsDevice actually implement this or is it a separate object the GraphicsDevice privately creates and registers Can someone provide me with an example on how to do this I'd like to see creating the Service Interface and/or object When to call GameServiceContainer.AddService Any events I should create/use Thanks I have create a service to share the sprite batch of my game with its game components.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Files and endianness

  Hello, First I'd like to say thanks to the guys at MS for being so open about the development of the XNA Framework and associated tools. The recent blog posts have been really excellent. At the moment for opening files I use File.OpenRead(). To read the data from the Stream it returns, I use Stream.ReadInt32() and so on. Obviously on my little endian PC platform, reading little endian data, there is no problem. But on the Xbox, does System.IO.Stream exist And if so, does Stream.Read*() do endian conversion on the fly Thanks again, Peter Shawn Hargreaves wrote: The main thing that changes when you go from a 32 bit to a 64 bit CPU is the size of pointers. But that rarely affects your code because .NET code doesn't tend to ma ...Show All

• SQL Server Plug-in Algorithm in data mining using SQL Server 2005??

  Hi, actually i want to implement a c# component that can help third party data mining algorithm and i want managed plug-in algorithm (without wrapper),. is it possible to write whole application in c# as Analysis servisce is in c++ , can we implement it in c# thanks in advance ~Chinmay If you're trying the re-implement the COM interfaces in C#, it will be much harder than the managed C++ wrapper we've provided - you'll need to do your own research in that case. Testing the wrapper would be a combination of whitebox testing and a sample plug-in written using your custom wrapper methods (similar to the one we supply with our Managed Plug-in API Framework). ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Video/Animation Playback

  Hi, I'm currently writing a library (for XNA/DirectX) for animation/soundless video playback, and I have a few design questions for the pros out there if you don't mind answering them : I'm having my animation class inherit from game component, and update the frame depending on game time in the overriden Update method, and render it in the overidden Draw method, but even when I preload my textures to render, playback is choppy. Not sure exactly why, but I notice this only when I have significant number of frames (I noticed it with 100 frames, but *not* with 10/15). This problem may be linked and solved by the 2nd point, so please read on. When I preload all the textures for the frames in the animation (and the no. of frames ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++/.net interface

  Hi all, How can I call functions in a .net DLL from a native, unmanaged C++ application If this is non-trivial, can someone at least give me hints pointing me in the right direction of what topics to learn and research Thanks, Brennan Vincent I've done this recently. First you have to go to your project properties and set it to use CLR. /CLR. And then in your header file add. #using "System.whatever.dll" and then add your namespace using namespace System::whatever; ohh... but first you have to add references. right click your project and add reference to whatever you want. but seriously.. read up on interpoyadda... cause you have to know about the gc heap and whatnot.. ...Show All
