• Windows Forms BindingSource property list is randomly ordered?

  Is it just me, or is the BindingSource property list randomly ordered I have an object with over 50 properties, and finding the one I want is impossible. They are not alphabetical, nor are they in the same order as the object code. I can't figure it out. Any help would surely speed my process, Thanks -RayK I've looked around and can't find anything in the IDE. However, since I also couldn't find anybody else complaining about this, it is possible it is only my machine. I will test on a co-op's machine. I believe he has a fresh copy of Dev Studio without anything else installed. Thnx, RayK ...Show All

  Hi All, I tried to draw few meshs in game. But i has some textures problem. The problem is a meshs collistion another mesh, textures alpha chennal has some problem. Below is capture screen. Who can tell me why How to fix this problem http://hk.geocities.com/brian_tsim/error.PNG Best regards, There is one more thing to consider here - in Quake 3, the Rocket Launcher left a trail of smoke which was represented by many - potentially a hundred - transparent smoke animations arranged in a line. If the player fired a rocket these all stacked on top of each other and the game would get progressively slower as the rocket made more and more smoke images all stacking. They rendered perfectly - probably using this back-to-front ...Show All

• .NET Development Regular Expression: Help on creating appropriate expression needed...

  Hi there! I'm now trying since hours to construct an appropriate regex that will fit my needs. Here is the starting situation: I've got a string like "abc F123[F456[F789]] 123" In this string I want to find the following expressions: - F123[F456[F789]] - F456[F789] - F789 An expression is defined as follows: - starting with an 'F' - followed by min. one digit - optional followed by an expression enclosed in brackets '[...]' which also may (recursively) include this kind of expressions I'm searching for. I tried this by using the following regex: [F][0-9]+[\[]{1,}.* [\]]{1,}|[F][0-9]+ But the expression only finds the first needed match ( F123[F456[F789]] ). What do I have to do to find also the other needed matches (recursicely) G ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Can anyone confirm this potential BUG with Spritebatch / RenderTarget...

  Hi all, I'm experiencing a strange problem that I can only attribute to one of the following... 1) My own incompetence :-) 2) A flaw in the Spritebatch code. Can anyone confirm that it is the latter please. Some background... In order to ensure the correct look when running at a variety of resolutions and aspect ratios I am wanting to spritebatch all of my 2D stuff to a RenderTarget and then spritebatch the RenderTarget to the BackBuffer in the correct scaling (either full screen for widescreen or not quite full height for normal TV). I am creating a Texture2D as a RenderTarget of 1280x720, Default resource, 1 level, SurtfaceFormat.Color, etc. The problem... I stash the backbuffer, set the rendertarget to ...Show All
