• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. GPGPU: 1-to-1 pixel-to-texel mapping using Direct3D

  For a GPGPU application using shaders we need to map a given texture directly 1-to-1 to the render surface. The simplest way to do this (so we think) is to use a rectangular quad with coordinates from (-1, -1) to (1,1)) and to set the FOVY and the zoom such that the quad will exactly fill the whole render surface. Rendering a given texture to this quad should give the expected results, i.e. a direct mapping from each texture pixel to the corresponding screen (or any other render surface) pixel. But what happens is that the texture appears to be shifted one pixel down and right which will make the direct mapping impossible. The correct results are achieved if we use a slight correction for the viewing Matrix: (D3DXMatrixTranslation( &m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Performance Tool - Is not working

  Development OS: Windows XP x64 Visual Studio 2005 RTM C# Windows Form application, the Solution consists of about 5 projects.. one exe, 4 dlls. All are strongly named.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Black Ships

  Hi it appears non of my sprites (i think) are working, when I run spacewar, in which I have to disable multisampling, the ships, and the "star" are black. The flames for the ships are coloured, and I believe the explosions work.     http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/7564/examplewk3.jpg GForce 4200 is a DX8 card that support Shader Model 1.3. You are lucky it runs at all. I suspect the background shader is simple enough that it works in 1.3 but the ship and sun shaders are too complex. I would have hoped for an error somewhere so you should report this as a bug on connect.microsoft.com ...Show All

• .NET Development Table adapter configuration wizard only creates insert and select statements ....

  Hi: I'm using VS2005 Team Edition for Software Architects and created a strongly typed DataSet with 5 tables. My data source if an MDF file that I 've attached to my project and it is using SQL 2005 (9.0) compatibility. For each table I added a Table Adapter using the "Table adapter configuration wizard" and choose to have it create my Insert, Delete, Select and Update stored proc's. However, the wizard only creates a Select and Insert Statement. Has anyone encountered this and if so, what is the root cause Nevermind. I didn't create the data model but see that the PK's have NOT been properly set on the table... Once I set them proper, the Table Adapter Wizard worked as needed.

• Visual FoxPro System resolution

  Hi. How can I find out what the system resolution is, and how can I change it via FoxPro Thanks If the form is too short, the correct solution is to group your sets of controls in some logical way and place them in different pages on a PageFrame control. If the process of filling the form is formalized in a set of steps (e.g. step #2 must be done after step #1 and not jump to it directly), then you could use a wizard which is nothing more than a PageFrame with no page tabs showing and you control the page change programmatically. ...Show All
