• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Video/Animation Playback

  Hi, I'm currently writing a library (for XNA/DirectX) for animation/soundless video playback, and I have a few design questions for the pros out there if you don't mind answering them : I'm having my animation class inherit from game component, and update the frame depending on game time in the overriden Update method, and render it in the overidden Draw method, but even when I preload my textures to render, playback is choppy. Not sure exactly why, but I notice this only when I have significant number of frames (I noticed it with 100 frames, but *not* with 10/15). This problem may be linked and solved by the 2nd point, so please read on. When I preload all the textures for the frames in the animation (and the no. of frames ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do you delete icons from Resources?

  See screenshot http://i15.tinypic.com/2uojm7n.png to see what I am talking about. One of the icons is corrupt and causing a ...tmp' is not a valid Win32 resource file error when I attempt to publish. I just want to delete the bad icon. I've did that.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem with Workflows and WebServices

  I am tying to use MSN search in a workflow. I have used invokeWebservice activity to invoke the MSN searh. This MSN search web service implementes SearchCompletedEventHandler. What I would like to achive is to implement, in the workflow, an activity that would write the searchResponse to a variable once the SeachCompletedEvent is fired. I tried to use the EventDriven Activity but I cannot add it to the workflow. Any ideas how I could solve this problem Thanks, M. Vuksanovic. Below is a simple example of how to use the MSN search web service with the InvokeWebserviceActivity: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Workflow.Activities; using WorkflowConso ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom lists into a PropertyGrid dropdown

  Hi, I'm working with a PropertyGrid class, and I want one of the selected object's properties to show as a list of strings. As far as I can tell the naive StringConverter derived class will not do for me since I want the list of strings to be supplied dynamically at runtime. How do I get around this Hi, The TypeConverter is the way to go. But you must override GetStandardValuesSupported (return true) and GetStandardValues (return your collection of possible values). You can look at the BooleanConverter in Reflector and see how it returns the true/false strings. Of course you must have the right set of Convert methods to ensure that the strings can be converted to your type (you didn't mention the type of your property). Hope this hel ...Show All

• Visual Basic Click (by code) a web button in a webbrowser control

  Hi! I'm using the webbrowser subministrated by .net end I would like to know if there's anyway to, for example, click a web button by knowing its html code.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 360 Dev do's and don'ts

  Hi, My primary platform at the moment is Windows, but I want to ensure I don't code anything that is going to cause alot of pain when I eventually get around to subscribing to the creators club and deploying to the 360. I've read a couple of articles on GC and other performance related stuff, but I wondered if anyone has any advice generally on what to avoid or if there are preferences in how ceratin things are coded (e.g. there are many types of storage, is one better than another for XNA specifically) that will mean the transition to 360 is as smooth as possible. Any thoughts or comments welcome! Cheers :) If you would first look for infos by yourself, then you would know that there are just few main rul ...Show All

• Windows Forms C# - VB6 Interop and Message Filters

  I created an Intellisense-like popup control (PopupList). I want it to behave in a similar manner to that of the dropdown portion of a ComboBox, so I implemented it as a Form so that it can be drawn outside of its parent's drawing area. The other behaviour of the combox box that was implemented was the ability to close the form when the mouse is clicked anywhere, save the PopupList itself; this was accomplished with an IMessageFilter that captures the required windows messages. If the control is hosted in a VB6 application, the PopupList stays open all the time no matter where the mouse is clicked. I don't know much about VB6 and I don't have access to VS2005 at the moment (I am using VC# Express) so I cannot debug the VB6 process. I am cu ...Show All

  When I create build though the Wizard and get to the tab where I can select tests to run - it desables Next button as soon as I check "Run Tests" checkbox. It allows we to select my only vsdmi but test list doesn't show in the box below. I've read some article that advices prior to this create test list with VSTS Test Edition - but it seems quite stupid! If I am Lead Developer who is in charge of builds - why do I need non-Developer edition And anyway - can I have both Editions on the same machine Can somebody clarify this   Has anyone managed to create a third party tool to do this yet so we don't have to wait a whole year for MS to bring a patch out which includes Test Manager for th ...Show All
