• Visual Studio Express Editions How can I make a Project Wizard/Template?

  Hi; I want to make a Project Wizard/Template to eliminate the need to hand edit configuration settings. How can I make a template wizard for DirectX projects with Visual C++ Express 2005 Thanks you very much. Yes, it works fine with VC# Express, but VC++ Express doesn't have that option. The thing is I want to create a Template for and Allegro project, is tedius to configure the environment all the time so I just want a Template with the basic code and the settings to build and compile an Allegro game. Also I want the same for a DirectX Game Template. What I'm doing now is to copy the project in a folder and rename it, but is a little bit ugly. ...Show All

• Windows Forms using applicationsettings/propertybinding to save form size etc.

  I want to be able to save the following: The last position and size of the form when not maximized and the last windowstate. ie if the user closed the app maximized, next time I want it to open maximized, but if the user sets it back to a normal window, I want it to display using the save size and location (as Microsoft Word does). I have created three user settings with the appropriate type. If I bind these to the form properties, it seems to really screw up (it works ok until I add the windowstate, but I need this setting. Otherwise, if I maximize the form and then close and reload the app, the windowstate is set to normal, but the size is set to the whole screen). I have also tried setting these properties in the constructor and ch ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do i create a new Type?

  i need to create a type Color3(byte r, byte g, byte b). so that i can do "Color3 visgroupColor;". yet i'm finding it a struggle to get any info on how to go about doing this. i also need to do Vec2, Vec3, Vec4. so if i can do Color3. the others will no doubt be done the same way. Hi, Why can't you use the standard color class Color c = new Color (); c . B = 10 ; c . R = 200 ; c . G = 0 ; To define a new type you need to create a class. ie: public class Color3 { public Color3 ( int red , int green , int blue ) { //... } //... } You might want to read a book on object-oriented programming.

• Visual C# base class methods calling derived class methods ?

  Ive inherited a C# class library and it seems that several of the base classes implement some methods that call methods which are defined in classes that are derived from the calling method's class. Is this "normal" eg: BaseClass method1 method2 { //some code here some_int = get_the_int(); } DerivedClass:BaseClass method1 method2 get_the_int () { //get the int here... } If you have a method marked as virtual in the base class and overriden in sub classes, than, everytime that base classe's methods (constructor too) invoke the virtual method the actual method executed is the most overriden. This is a common issue in polymorphism semantics actually addressed in many Guru Forums, in the sens ...Show All

• Visual C# StackOverFlow Exception with large input. Please help me analyse.

  I need to send a long string to print through printer driver. below is the code. If the string is short, it is OK. But if the string is long (e.g., 1433 characters), the program will crash with StackOverflow Exception). Not sure if it got something to do with the IntPtr. It crashed at SendBytesToPrinter(szPrinterName, docname, pBytes, encodedBytes.Length); By putting Console.Writeline() to check, I found it didn't even enter the method above but the following code is completed and I could print out the value of encodedBytes.Length. Marshal . Copy(encodedBytes, 0, pBytes, encodedBytes.Length); Please share me your insight and experience. I will reward you with the good answer. Please help. public static boo ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem with BDA IPSink Filter

  Hello All! Hope this is the right place for putting my problem description ;-). I am currently developing a DirectShow filter for decapsulating IP over DVB data using ULE encapsulation ( RFC4326 ). This is similar to what the BDA MPE (Multi-Protocol Encapsulation) filter does which is provided by Microsoft. The DirectShow Graph used looks like this: Network Provider (e.g. DVB-T) --> Tuner Device --> Capture Device --> MPEG-2 Demultiplexer --> ULE Decaps Filter --> IP Sink Filter The IP Sink fFilter creates a virtual network interface to which the decapsulated IP data is delivered. This works perfectly fine for UDP data. But if i try to transfer more than 1 KByte/Sec over a TCP c ...Show All
