• Software Development for Windows Vista CreateProcess and iscsicli.exe fails on 64 bit pc

  I am running iscsicli.exe from within a c++ 32 bit application using CreateProcess. This works fine on a 32 bit machine. However, when I download & install the 64 bit version of iscsicli.exe on a 64 bit pc ( AMD64 ) CreateProcess fails with the error FILE_NOT_FOUND, despite the fact that the exe file can be found using a search with Explorer. Interestingly, on the 64 bit pc iscsicli.exe works fine from the command prompt. It will also run from within a batch file if the batch file is run from the command prompt, but if I run the same batch file from CreateProcess in my application it fails. Anyone any ideas This is expected.  On 64-bit installations, system32 is used for 64- ...Show All

• Visual Studio Cannot Edit Macros

  Hi; I'm trying to edit a macro that I've recorded in VS 2005. In Macro Explorer, I right-click on TemporaryMacro, click on "Rename" - and I renamed it to Macro01 - OK - no prob. I then right-click on the macro, click on "Edit" - and nothing happens. I also did the following: Tools > Macros > Macro IDE ... ... and I get a message box, with the error message "Class Not Registered." Perhaps this is related - I dunno. I'm a novice at this, and not very bright, so PLEASE take things slow with me. BTW: Can macros be written in C# ... or is it Visual Basic only THANKS!

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Terrain component source code

  The terrain is split into batches, one batch from every texture type. Each batch has a vertex buffer and an index buffer. It uses quad trees to find which tiles should be rendered. Once it has the list of tiles that are visible it populates the batch's index buffer. I'm sorry for the disgraceful lack of comments in the code, but here you go, a tile-based terrain component implementation for XNA.

• Smart Device Development Populate a treeView in C# ?

  Hi Guys! I have an number of objects, that contain a "name", and a "level" which was used to indicate the location of the "name" in a treeView in a C++ application. The datastructure of the objects has to stay the same, but now in C# land i am really having problems to populate the treeView. I could not find any method to get a parent TreeNodeCollection, when i am sitting somewhere down in a "sub" TreeNodeCollection (yes i loved my pointers :). Also writing a recursive function failed as (ref TreeNodeCollection xxx) is something the compiler doesn't like at all, as it's implemented as a property. So the big question is now: How do i get a structure like this: Name1, Level0 Name2, Level1 Name3, Le ...Show All
