• Smart Device Development Win CE 6.0 ARMV4I Emulator Build Error - 4K page alignment

  I am building a Windows CE 6.0 image file that will include my application. I have a test application that I have built using C#. I have modified the project.bib file to include the application. When the image file is being built for the device emulator, I receive the following error message: Error 19 Error: only 4k page alignments supported at this time, found in module test.exe What does this error mean How can I include my application in the image file Hi .NET executable format (PE) differs from the normal native code format. The ROMIMAGE tool (search MSDN for " ROM Run-Time Image Creation" for details) is not able to process managed executables listed in the MODULES section of a BIB file. Simply add your m ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Space invaders crappy clone is done (Check it out)

  Well I finally wrote my first ever game it is a Space invaders clone sort of. Well it only has one alien and you can shoot at it.

I might see about turning this into a tutorial, but i am not sure anymore because the code looks ugly to me and I don't konw if people want a tutorial with ugly code. However, if people want me to write a tutorial then I will. Thank you, I feel dumb for sitting here for an hour and that not dawning on me. Here i am going through other projects trying to figure out how they did it and the answer was staring me in the face ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Trying to pass a cubemap.dds to a fx shader

  I have been playing with these shaders: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/directx9_c/Goal_3___Environment_Mapping.asp and I have got these shaders up and working in my engine, with the exception of 3 and 4, they light my model correctly, but they don't seem to be rendering the cube map I am giving them. The shader manages the cubemap like this: texture EnvironmentMap < string type = "CUBE"; string name = "lobbycube.dds"; >; samplerCUBE EnvironmentSampler = sampler_state { Texture = (EnvironmentMap); MipFilter = LINEAR; MinFilter = LINEAR; MagFilter = LINEAR; }; I load the cube map like this: private TextureCube myCube; myCube = myLoa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Custom tool window like DSL Details..

  Hi all, I have defined my first little language with the very impressive DSL Tools. When I now work with the application I miss a custom window to handle the (very specific) configuration of some of my model classes. What I need is a tool like the DSL Details tool window so I want to ask if someone has already builds a similar think. Seems like I have two (write an Add-in or a Package) or more options to solve my requirements but I’m not sure what is the best way to do this. Today I’m not very familiar with writing any kind of IDE Extension but after looking in the documentation it looks not really hard. But the first big problem is: How can I call a command from the DSL Designer View to the Add-in and vice versa. ...Show All

• Visual C# Updating standalone application

  Hi, Hope someone can help. I have a standalone application running on a dozen (internet connected ie: Not on a Network) machines. What is the best way to update these I assume a application cannot update itself when it is running: EG: New version created and stored somewhere on Web Server. Current version tries to do an action and is told there is a new version. The current version needs to be updated before it can complete the required action. Can any one advise. Thanks Andrew Have you looked into ClickOnce It’s ridiculously easy to use and from the sounds of it does just what you are looking for. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Databind one control to another

  Not sure if I can/should do this, but basically I wanted to bind the "checked" property of a checkbox to the visible property of a text box. I used the following statement txtOilQty.DataBindings.Add( "Visible" , chkOilAdded, "Checked" ) It seems to work just fine as long as I don't have the initial value of visible set to "false" in the visual studio designer. If the initial value is false, then checking/unchecking the checkbox has no effect on the visible property of the checkbox. Is this by design Am I not supposed to be able to do this Thanks I can't see anything wrong with using databinding in this way. I tried your example and noticed the ...Show All

• .NET Development How to pass the command to the other executable file?

  Hi, I'd like to make a gnuplot to load a file and do some commands in the file. I would like to use C#. I found that I could use in C#: Process.Start("wgnuplot.exe"); to call and run gnuplot, but I don't know how to pass the command for the gnuplot. The command I'd like to pass to gnuplot is: load 'command.gp' where command.gp contains some commands for the gnuplot. There are qestions: Is it possible to pass the command to the other executable file If it is possible, how to do it Thank you very much, Komomomo Actually, "wgnuplot" is a "gnuplot" but for windows, I believe. Your question is: Is there accessible source code of wgnuplot If this is correct, I think ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Delete WorkflowInstance from Database Tables

  I use one DB for Persistence and Tracking. This database therefore holds all workflows started. These workflow were started for different portals used by different clients. So if a client needs to be setup from scratch, I need to find the according workflows in the database and delete them. The other workflows (for the other clients) should stay untouched. Because of the amount of tables created (Persistence only uses 2 tables, Tracking about 20) I wanted to ask if someone knows how to do a task like this. The table "Workflow" holds the different workflows. Now I have a reference (WorkflowTypeId) which I can use to delete the instances. Am I correct Thanks To be honest: not really. I ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Setting custom HandleExternalEventActivity properties on activation/creation

  I have what must be a common and simple requirement in my WF application but I am unable to see how it it can easily be achieved. The application contains a large library of custom activities, many of which subclass from a single "UserActivity" activity, which in turn derives from HandleExternalEventActivity. These are all human activities, which block until a user sends a message to the runtime (hosted in WS) from the client application to notify the WF that the current activity is completed. All of this works fine. However, during creation (not invocation) of each UserActivity for the first time I want to set some properties from internal business rules. For example, UserActivity has a DateTime property called TargetFinishTime. This is s ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is there any type of context available at time of IAuthorizationPolicy evaluation?

  I've been doing some work with adding custom context to our WCF web services. I've successfully added context to the operation and instance context, but now I'm doing some work at the IAuthorizationPolicy level and finding out that the contexts that I've hooked so far (i.e. operation context and instance context) are not available yet at this point. First, is there a context that flows all the way through all these layers of a WCF request Second, I cannot find any good documentation on what the life cycle of a request looks. If I could find that I would probably be able to figure the rest out on my own. TIA, Drew Can you elaborate on the type of context you need during IAuthorizationPolicy execution ...Show All
