  Hi! I wanna know if is it possible to add a List to another. Are there some method to do it in List class Thanks. Hi Danilo OK, what you're looking for is clearer, now.

• Visual Studio Team System Question on Schema Refactoring

  If I do the rename of objects, is it possible to identify the list of affected objects, so that I can go and check in only those objects. It means it marks the modified object which some color or different font I know it is possible to preview the changes being made or do the schema compare Is there any other way to get the list of objects modified because of refactoring Virendra If your project is under source code control, after apply refactoring changes, it will automatically check out all affected files, and you can look at your pending change list to see which files get modifed. Also as Jeff pointed out, we do generate refactoring log for each refactoring operation. It is under the "Ref ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. I'd like to have a game developed...but I need a partner.

  I teach 1st grade. I have an idea for a simple 2D (Phonics) game...but I don't have any skills as a programmer. I wanted to know if any programmers would be interested in a partnership   The game basically involves a little character running around the screen to pick up letters and form words. The character would have to avoid certain obstacles on screen. The game would require a lot of speech to sound out the words that the onscreen character created. That sounds interesting. How big do you think the market is What distribution channels are you looking at Also, do you already know someone who can handle some part of game-making, such as art, sound, or programming If you don't k ...Show All

• .NET Development stringbuilder question

  This shouldn't be that difficult, but I'll be darned if I can get my head wrapped around a reasonable solution. Here's my scenario: I'm putting together a front-end application that is communicating to SQL Server 2005. I'm using typed-datasets and filling the data tables with the table adapters. I have a search button which sets up databinding and displays all the records. that works fine. here's the code: private void searchButton_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { //tie the master binding source datasource to the datatable m_SrcSystemBindingSource.DataSource = formDataSet; //data set m_SrcSystemBindingSource.DataMember = "UF_SRC_SYSTEM" ; //data table //tie the child binding sourc ...Show All

The project I am creating is a webservice and i need to be able to use the classes in the static library. When I build the project I get tons of link errors like unresolved external symbols.

• Visual Studio Team System Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite 180-Day Trial interfering with current VS 2005

  I currently have Visual Studio 2005 Team Developer on my PC. I would like to evaluate Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite 180-Day Trial. I am interested in the Team Test features of Load Testing, Manual Testing and Test Case Management. If I download the trial, is it going to mess up my current configuration What happens after the 180 days, will my VS die Is the better way to test this to download it on another PC Ideas are appreciated. Thanks. Hi Dana - I definitely understand your concern, I wouldn't want to reinstall all of those add-ins either. I unfortunately don't have a Trial installation on any of my machines but I *think* that you run Add/Remove Features to get this option. Can you give that a try and let me know If not, ...Show All

• Visual Basic 2 Pics Transparant with each other

  I was wondering how to make two pictures transparant with each other. In other words when one picture is slightly over the other how do you make the top one transparant so you can see the other one as well, Instead of seeing it being blocked out. I am working on a game and when you move the character around I don't want every object to appear as a box. I am using .gifs because of their transparancy. I have made the .gifs transparant and the picture boxes background color transparant, but everything is still a box Thanks, White Hawk So I would paint the graphics on the form, moving and animating them as needed I also would need to dispose the graphic before I paint the next frame, correct So ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 3d objects coordinates

  Hi I'm currently wrestling with the coordinate system. I have three 3d objects (.3ds) that I want to use in my projects. When I render them on screen they are pointing in three different directions. I started 3dsmax, switched to the perspective view, I did a rotation transformation to make the three models point in the same direction but when I reload them in my application, they still doesn't show up correctly. Note: I'm importing .3ds and exporting via .fbx I know the basic stuff in 3ds but I'm no expert, I may have done something wrong. I noticed that 3ds max have several coordinates systems that you can apply the transformations. I tried some of them without reaching my goals. Any tips thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Does installing Studio do anything to IIS? If it does how can I duplicate these changes without installing Studio?

  Trying to install my Studio 2003 c# ASP.Net application on another server. It does not seem to work even though I have installed everything, and set up everything as I would on my own server. One difference I am aware of is that my server has Studio 2003 installed on it, was as the target server does not and can not. it could be that reason - IIS not installed correctly or registered correctly rather. There is no other way to check apart from making a simple ASP.NET page which says "hi" or something, then place it in a virtual directory in IIS and navigate to it in IE. I've never had this problem. I've been able to just install IIS (and WS2003 does have IIS 6.0), install the .NET Framework and that should be that. ...Show All
