• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How do I make a certain ModelMesh invisible at runtime?

  Is there a way that I can change the visibility of a particular modelmesh or modelmeshpart at runtime My art assets have collision walls in them added by the artist. I can remove them during the build processors, but I'd like to leave them in so I could optionally draw them for debugging. Is there any way that I can do this Yes; you can loop over all the pieces of the model, and draw then individually, instead of drawing the entire model with a single call to Draw(). You will have to bind the appropriate effects to do this, though, but that's pretty simple. You can even take it one step further, and draw only specific subsets of each each mesh. How you figure out what pieces to draw, and what pieces not to, is up to you, but it s ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 Error: The "variant" data type is not supported

  Hello, I have to use a script which examines whether an SQL Server 2005 database is correct and can be used to transfer data to. Under "Validating Database Collation..." I get the following error message: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The "variant" data type is not supported. I used Latin1_General_CI_AI and switched to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS (because this is what I have to use, according to the documentation), but in both cases the script produces the same error. It does not seem to be a big problem, as the script apparently does not fail because of this error, but I would like to improve the situation. Also, my knowledge of databases is limited and therefore I do not understand what the varia ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to find version of file programatically in .Net 2005?

  Hi, I wanted to know how I can find the version of a file programatically using C# .Net2005. I am using FileInfo[ ] info = Directory.GetFiles() to get all the files in the directory.But I am not able to get the version attribute of the file.

Here's an example: FileVersionInfo notepadInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo("%systemroot%\\notepad.exe"); From the call above, the notepadInfo object will be filled with version inf ...Show All

• Windows Forms Using visual inheritance with the UserControl

  Hi there: I have a UserControl where I defined som controls (groupbox and buttons) and I'd like to inherit from this to create other user controls (generic functionality, etc.). I am using C#. I exported my UserControl as a template and now I have it as part of the "Add new item" wizard. However, none of the controls are visible in the designer.
