• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 3rd Party Software and 360 deployment

  Howdy, One of my friends asked me an interesting question the other day. Will 3 rd party software’s be able to deploy to Xbox 360. After reading about Torque X my auto response was yes sure they can. Although after looking and digging some more I am not so sure. Without full 360 support and being not being able to testing everything myself I am left with some hanging questions. Will support for 3 rd party software deploying to 360 ever be released or would this go against the very idea of the creators club. As well I am not really sure if this correct but I believe that 360 binaries are basically the same as windows binaries and can be created through some means in .Net Framework if that is the case would this process eve ...Show All

• Visual Basic ComboBox Frustration: Setting a default "SelectedIndex" when adding a new record refuses to work.

  Help! This is a very frustrating problem. Ok I have a typical databound Form with a bound ComboBox bound on the form Load event. I have a typical BindingSource and BindingNavigator Control with an "AddNew" button. When a new record is added to the dataentry form (i.e. not the combobox) I intend the combobox to default to the first value in the list by setting... mycombo.selectedindex = 0 I have this in the BindingNavigatorAddNewItem_Click event but it has no effect! I also tried placing mycombo.selectedindex = 0 in the BindingSource "AddingNew" event but this also has no effect. I have discovered that the "selectedindex" is somehow inexplicably changing itself back to  -1 As an experime ...Show All

• Visual C# Accessing Objects in Form1 from form2

  Hi I'm starting out with C# and am building a simple application to play around with C# code. I have a main form (form1) in which I have declared and instantiated some Objects. Form1 then declares and shows a second form (form2). I want form2 to call methods and get and set properties in my declared objects from form1. ie to change their internal state so when I go back to form1 I can access the objects new internal values (with appropiate properties etc). //example dice class public class dice { private int currentSide; public CurrentSide { get{return currentSide} set{currentSide = value} } } //Form1 class public class Form1 : Form { public Dice D1; public For ...Show All

• Visual C# Blocking Console closure?

  I have a Windows Forms app with Console playing a part. I now run an almost debugged code from an exec that is generated after the Build command. I need to prevent Console from accidentally being closed by clicking on the tiny button located at the right upper corner. I cannot figure out if it is possible to do. The corresponding button on the form is blocked but it does not prevent the form from being closed by clicking on the button on the Console. I want to immobilize it too. I do not the app being closed accidentally in any event. Thanks. frederikm wrote: Hi is it necessary for the console to be shown you could just hide the entire window...

• Visual C++ PSDK/calc-sample, please.

  Below is error when I try to build sample project: Calculator. I have VC++ express edition and sample is for that version of C++. I also have PSDK which I wanted to integrate with VC++ express edition by following instructions; but wanted to be sure VC++ express edition is working (which it is not) by using simple sample projects. Thank you very much for any assistance to get this sample project to run/compile. I plan to use VC++ instead of fortran for my research so I and other students/scientists may have a graphical user interface and ease of entering code. Assembly language was no fun but I got thru that. I would be grateful if anyone could point me to sample code to use in VC++ express edition (with PSDK integrated ...Show All

• Windows Forms Controlling a form externally

  I'd like my program's main routine to start a loop method that will create a new form call a method on that form let the method finish close the form and start over However, when the loop method calls Application.Run(curForm), it seems to give up control of the form, so doing item #2 (or anything else) is impossible until the form is closed. Is there any way to return control of a form to a class outside of that form Instead of Application.Run, use fooForm.Show or ShowDialog, then call your public method then call the Close method.

• Visual Studio Using existing Enumerations

  We got the great 'Domain Model Enumeration Designer' in the DSL tools to design new enums and use them as value properties of classes. But I have some value properties on my DSL elements on which I want to use an already existing enum type. Like for example the 'System.DayOfWeek' enum. There is some kind of mechanism for this for the simple types: you can point to a namespace and type in the name of the type. Is there something similar for enums Sure I can look up the literals in the documentation and type in al these literals in the Enum Designer, but that's quite time consuming.
