• Visual Basic Service Programming

  Hi everybody, I have implemented a service that respond to TCP request on some port, the problem is that compiled as a local system service the client can only run on the same machine :( and make request to 127.0.0.1 or by name "localhost". If I send a request from the network or localhost addressing the machine domain name or ip the connection is refused. The same thing happens with telnet session to that particular port. Thank you. Start with the obvious, I suppose: does the target machine have a firewall up blocking input from that port If you can't contact that port at all... ...Show All

• Visual Basic ComboBox setting a value - Help!!

  Folks, After using VB 6.0 for the last 10 years, I am rather embarrassed to post this question because I could not find answer to this question. Here's my situation 1) I have a dropdown combobox. It displays a the list of projects. The "Code" property is mapped to the "Project ID" and the "Value" property is my "project description" 2) From another Win Form, I pass the "Project ID" [code value] to my current form that has this combobox. I have to set proper "SelectedIndex" property based on the value passed to to this form. How do I do it I see methods like "FindExactString", "FindString" etc. I can use them if I passed the "Description" value from ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. HD quality with composite?

• Visual Studio Express Editions nmake building what it shouldn't!

  I have a VC++ solution that contains a number of projects that are independent of each other. If one of the projects won't build due to errors, I still want the solution to be build and the executable created. The way this is currently handled is this: 1) We have a separate file with configuration information. Let's call it "config.txt." This file has variables (or "macros" in nmake terminology), for example " PROJECT_AA = DLL " on one line indicates that we want the dll made for project AA. 2) The solution has an nmake makefile. At the top of this makefile, it includes config.txt with: DIR = ..\firmware !include $(DIR)\config.txt 3) Each project lives in subdirectories below the solution, whe ...Show All

• .NET Development Console

  I have a fast question. I want to write text to a dos box for debugging. I have tried to use the Console.write method but it does not do anything. I have looked at code examples on this website and it seems to use it at will, ie: you don't have to turn it on or anything. Do I have to turn the console box feature on in .net 2005 If so, how do I do that Thanks Alternatively (and this is the approach I take in my own programs): Use Debug.WriteLine() to write all your diagnostic output. And then either run your program under the Visual Studio debugger OR run the totally excellent DebugView tool from SysInternals: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/DebugView.html Note: Debug.WriteLine() ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 2D Arcade Space Shooter, Bullet firing

  I'm fairly new to C#, OOP, XNA, you name it. I am however trying to take some initiative and go ahead and make an actual game (I made a Tic-Tac-Toe game before to try out XNA). So far my ideas for this game are to have a : Player Class: Moves the player's ship, creates bullets and tells them where to go. Enemy Class: Controls the Enemy's AI and handles collision with bullets. EnemyManager Class: Controls spawning enemies, checking their state and then updating them. (I need help with this, I originally wanted to hold an array of about 20 enemies, so I can keep recycling the objects but I'm finding this difficult if anyone has any advice on this or references for me to look at.)
