• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 2d Platforms

  I understand it'd be pretty difficult to help me with a problem with me just describing it, without seeing code so... http://skynes.tripod.com/TheWizard.zip There's a link to a zip file containing my XNA project and all images. The Project so far is a mix of a couple of tutorials I found online (2d wizard and a tile engine) along with sprites I found online. I haven't made any of my own sprites yet cause I don't see the point until I have everything working, but I will be using all my own original sprites when it works. Anyway. So far it's a wizard who can jump and shoot fireballs. An enemy (movement currently commented out) walks across the screen, firballs dont do anything yet, but touching the enemy costs you a life.

• Windows Forms Disable the X

  Is there anyway that i can disable the X close button but i still want to have maximize and minimize. I just want X to be either gone or X to be grayed out so it can't be used. Why don't you simply change the behaviour of your X button Instead of removing it, assign another function to it (minimize window, message box, ...). Why waste a button   private void Form1_FormClosing( object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e) {     if (e.CloseReason == CloseReason.UserClosing)    {        this .WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;       e.Cancel = true ;    } }   ...Show All

• Windows Forms Threading Problem

  Hey, I have a custom object that is using threading. I'm following an example I have in a book, so I created an object, and have a thread defined as a private member: private Thread _thread = null ; I have a method called run that defines this: public void Run() { _thread = new Thread ( new ThreadStart (Start)); _thread.Start(); } I have a Start method that does the work. public void Start() { .. do work.. } I am debugging, and the object is being created and it executes the Run method, but it never calls start to actually do any processing; instead it returns and nothing gets done. What am I doing wrong Thanks. To debug call Start directly without using a thread. M ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office [VSTO v3 / Outlook 2007] Custom Commandbars that include combo boxes question

  Hello We have developed an outlook plugin that creates custom commandbar that includes a combo boxes that allows users to classify emails based on a custom list. That classification is stored as an extended MAPI property with the email. The issue we came across is with outlook configured to use word as email editor. Since Word does not support "temporary commandbars", any programatic change made to the combo box displayed in insepctor window affects the combo-boxes in other open inspector windows. Does anyone know if Office 2007 will display the same behavior Use-Case: User creates a new message - selects a classification from the custom combo-box that is not the default. Then creates another new message -- the plugin will go t ...Show All

• SQL Server Client-Side Database Mirroring Details

  Hi, I've been tasked with investigating different methods of achieving database redundancy. In doing so, I'm currently in the process of writing a test application to prove that Database Mirroring in SQL Server 2005 is a suitable solution. Of the established requirements I'm finding difficulties with the following: Identifying the name/instance of SQL Server my application is currently connected to. Identifying the name/instance of SQL Server cached as the failover partner, and confirming it state at any time.

• SQL Server Dependant assemblies in CLR

  This is related to one of my previous posts. I am running a CLR stored proc that goes to an EDS (Novell) server with LDAP and returns records into a SQL table. I am using the Novell ldap library. I want to do this with SSL so my code referneces the Mono security library as well. However when I make the call to the stored proc to run in SSL, I get an object not found error. I do not think that the the Novell assembly can "find" the Mono assembly. Two points: 1/ I can do the SSL if I run it as an asp.net page (so I know the SSL works) 2/ The proc runs and pulls all the records in non-SSL (so I know the proc works) Any ideas Thanks, BIG OK tried the four part name so changed Novell.Directory.Ldap ...Show All
