• Visual C++ assigning derived class from base class declaration

  Hello; For the following code, know that Poodle is a derived class of Dog, and that aPoodle is an instanciation of Poodle. In the code below, I would expect dogObject to become a pointer to aPoodle, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Instead, dogObject seems to only maintain the attributes of dog. Any idea what I may be doing wrong ____________________________________________________________ Dog *getDogObject() { Dog *dogObject; DogTypes dogType; // an enum of dog types (poodles, hounds, etc..) dogType = getDogName(); switch (dogType) { case DogTypes::poodle: dogObject = &aPoodle; // <======= PROBLEM HERE break ; } dogObject->jump(); // <===== CALLS DOG.JUMP, NOT POODLE.J ...Show All

  Ok, I've got this project I'm building where I use ServerDocument to create a document out of a template on the server. Populating data in a cached data island.

• Visual Basic How to add rows to datagridview?

  Hi all I am attemping to write a routine that when the user presses a button it will read from a datagrid that they have already populated and add rows to other datagridviews. They may then modify what was added or add more rows. then when they have what they want in all the datagridviews they will save. Entering stuff by hand works for all dgv's.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Accessing internet resources?

  I understand from the FAQ that the XNA Framework on the Xbox 360 will not have any support for Xbox Live, which means no network gaming, at least at this time. However I would like to know whether there is any support for accessing resource assets on the internet For example is it possible to access image resources on an internet site using a C# HttpWebRequest Hello, So, if I understand well, there won't be a net support in XNA for X360. But for Windows, can we hope a net layer in XNA I'm currently working on a MMORPG, and XNA sounds good for the client software. But when I read this, I just fear we won't have any lib to help us networking, right ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Looking for a book review

  Greetigs, I was looking for a book on directshow programming and this book was suggested: Mike Wasson and Peter Turcan: Fundamentals of Audio and Video Programming for Games .

  I have my application set to use the full screen. If I hit alt tab, go into another app, then alt+tab back into my game, it's solid gray, and then locks up. I wrote some simple code to check the keyboard state, and close the app if I hit escape, but that doesn't even work. I just assumed that this would all be handled for me, out of the box... Do I have to write anything myself to fix this Ok...wait a minute. I just want to get something straight in my head, regarding what you just stated. I am very new to programming in general, and C# + XNA in particular. And what you're talking about sounds like a solution to an issue I was attempting to wrap my noodle around.
