• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Missile Commandeer

  First XNA game...done!  It's an old school missile commander clone (only its CommandeEr, like pirates...ARRRR!!!).  I spent extra time to maintain the original "cutting edge" graphics to make it a true classic.  Check it out... (I just added the screenshots, game and source code to my website) Click here for the game    Improvements to come: - MIRV missiles - Extra lives - High scores - suggestions Nice update, I especially like the MIRVs. I haven't played it much but my top score is 16440 on level 18. I'm pretty sure that other people have done way better :) I think the score penalty for hitting destroyed cities should be raised again. The problem that I f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Automatically generate a work item on state change in requirement

  I have a request from management to automatically create a work item for a technical design document any time a requirement WI changes to active state. I'm not sure where to begin on this one. I suppose there is something in the project alerts functionality which will allow me to trigger this. I am comfortably using the API, if someone can point me to the appropriate classes. Regards, ++Alan You can subscribe a web service on work item change event and process your custom logic there.

• Visual Basic Checking MS-office service pack levels

  I have a vb.net app which does a number of checks on a user computer and reports these back to the help desk. I would like to determine the best way of finding the service pack level for the installed version of Microsoft Office. Using vb.net. Any pointers would be most appreciated. Each Office application also has a COM/Interop library that comes with the application(ie you must have the office app installed for your application to work on the clients machine). You must first reference this library at the project level(Project - Add Reference - COM - Microsoft Excel 11.0....) and then inside your class use an imports statement like: Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Pass a variable from one form to another...

  Hey I've searched and searched but I haven't found a solution to this problem... All I want to do is pass a string from one form to another. And since C# doesn't allow global variables (or does it... ), I haven't found a way to do this. Let me know if you need more information to solve this problem. Thanks To do this, I use a Settings variable. It is very easy to do. Create a string setting "MyString" and when you need to send that data from one form to another, on the form that has a string that you need to send, do something like Properties.Settings.Default.MyString = thestringthatneedstobesaved; Thanks, paoloTheCool ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to disable driver anti-aliasing

  I need to preserve the exact colors (and thus, hard edges) when I read back the rendered image via an offscreen surface filled with GetRenderTargetData. There is an option in the control panel where the driver forces anti-aliasing for all applications. If I do not set the quality-performance slider correctly, I will get anti-aliasing. Is there a way (in code) to prevent that I understand what you're saying. Maybe you have an alternative to do picking (for example) without doing tons of collisions tests ...Show All

• SQL Server Cascade set to null on delete.

  Hi all, I am using SQL Server 2000 and am trying to perform a basic delete query on a table called ClientType. The only child table of this is called Client. The relationship between the tables has a cascade action of cascade update and when I try to perform the delete operation, I get the error "DELETE statement conflicted with COLUMN REFERENCE constraint". The foreign key field accepts nulls and has a defauilt value of null. Now, am I being completely dense or shouldn't the cascade update set the foreign key values to null Regards, Stephen. OK, you just defined the Cascade on the update, if you delete a row and the child table contains rows for that parent row and you did not define a casca ...Show All

  I am new to programing and I am a little confused with one part of the tutorial  (towards the bottom).  The instructions say: "Since the timer class is contained in a different namespace we are going to add a using statement so we can use the FrameworkTimer without having to write “Microsoft.Samples.DirectX.UtilityToolkit.FrameworkTimer” every time. At the top of the class in the using directives region add the following line of code: Visual C# Microsoft.Samples.DirectX.UtilityToolkit;" I am having trouble with what I put in italics.  I have no idea where to put the code.  Do I put it in the dxmutmisc.cs class ( ), or my actual "GameEngine.cs" class ( ), or is it something that was changed ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Reusage of Rules Engine Components

  Hi! I've tried to reuse some components of the wwf rules engine. The goal was to validate expressions which are edited in an expression editor. But the rules engine only offers the ability to edit and validate conditional expressions (return type bool). All the classes are defined internal, so it is not possible to extend the classes. Does somebody now an option to validate more general expressions, or have I to refactor the rules engine and build my own solution Andreas ...Show All
