Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Torque X for XNA release
Hi guys! Somebody know when Torque X will be released Mehdi Mahdloo wrote: any hopes to have it for free Well: 1. Garage games needs to make profit to pay its employees 2. No other garage games products are free 3. This will be a sophisticated piece of software 4. This is one of the biggest launches ever I suspect you already know the answer. But garage games philosphy appears to be sell it cheap and sell lots of copies so I suspect it will be cheap and worth every penny. If you need a free XNA engine I suspect that most of the MDX engines are currently working out how best to support it. ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System Load test performance after IE 7 Beta 3 install
I'm noticing that load tests for web-services are noticeably slower when IE 7 Beta 3 is installed. Before I installed IE 7 B3 I was noticing an average response time in my test of about 5 seconds, with multiple tests. After I installed IE 7 B3 the average response time more than doubled to 11 seconds with multiple tests. After un-installing IE 7 B3 the response time seems to have returned to about 5 seconds. This is by no means scientific; but certainly not ignorable. Has this already been observed Josh Christie MS wrote: No, "default" will always severely limit load test performance. The System.Net libraries that we depend on don't cache the auto-detected proxy server and therefore cause every request to re ...Show All
SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Remote Connectivity
I am an application developer with an existing system developer in SQL Server 2005 Express and Visual Studio 2005. I have installed the system I wrote at a physician's office, and it is working fine on a local computer utilizing XP operating system. There is a requirement to allow other terminals to connect to this XP terminal to execute the application, so I am exploring possibilities for connecting remotely from the other computers in the physician's office. I am running Virtual Machine for my client computer. I modified SQL Server 2005 on my main computer. I enabled both TCP/IP and Named pipes in the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration utility. I also set SQL Server Browser to start automatically. The local application ...Show All
.NET Development server.createobject differences between c# and vb.net
hi all, Firstly I do not believe this is a ASP.NET problem and that is why I am posting it here. Running VS.2003 , framework 1.1. I have a COM object written in Delphi which im trying to call through ASP.NET. The COM object connects to a folder on another machine and opens a connection to a foxpro database in that folder. I have a problem with even accessing that path through SYSTEM.IO.File.EXists and Peter Bromberg suggested impersonation via LOGONUSER. I have implemented LOGONUSER and now I can access the file via SYSTEM.IO.File but the problem now is that the COM Object cannot access that path. I thought it might be impersonation and have left that implemented but have tried 1. setting <impersonate = "true" i ...Show All
Commerce Server Starter Site problemos
Hi Guys, I have finally walked through the entire installation guide, concluding all the post-install steps. I then tried to install the Commerce Server "Starter Site" [1].

Windows Forms .NET Framework Security and a DFS Share
I am having trouble figuring out the correct .NET Framework security settings for a share mapped through DFS. I am using a Windows XP system and .NET Framework 2.0 (all of the latest patches have been installed) our servers are all running Windows 2003 and the share I am accessing, with all of my Visual Studio code on it, is automatically mapped to drive letter M: when I log in. The share is a DFS share so the format of the share name is \\DomainName\Folder\MyShare . When I attempt to add this share as a URL to my .NET security settings, I cannot find any security setting that will successfully give me FullTrust. I have tried defining the URL as a File, as HTTP, without any settings and I have tried adding access to the share using the ...Show All
Visual C# Populating a form with dynamically created buttons
Hello everybody! I have a little question. I am populating a form with dynamically created buttons...to be precise - 50 buttons... The problem is that when the 16th button has been created I have to scroll right to see the rest of the buttons. Is there any way when the end of the screen has been reached(the form starts in maximized state) the buttons to continue to create on the second row, bellow the first one. I hope you get what I mean! Here is the example source of my program: private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { int xAxis = 10; int userChoice = 50; for (int i = 1; i < userChoice; i++) { Button b = new Button(); b.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 75); b.Locat ...Show All
Visual C++ How to replace the MFC icon at mainframe with a custon icon
Hi, I'd like to know how to change the MFC default icon with a custom one in the mainframe of a MFC program, as well, the icon in the exe file name. Please help. Thanks. Jason Zhang Thanks for the reply. I did draw a new icon with the resource editor and it only works with the Help dialog not the mainframe. That's the 32x32 pixel one, but I can't find the small template to edit. Is that the reason that it doesn't work with the mainframe and the application exacutable name icon Thanks. Jason ...Show All
Visual C++ How do I display images in C or C++?
I've been making animations and lately getting into game design, particularly 2D games. I started by using tools that allow me to do this. The programming language used with my old tool is much like C with only a few differences and seriously simplified which in turn, poses many limitations. I've learned enough C at the moment to reprogram two-thirds of my 2D game, The Supernatural Olympics, but there is one issue that bothers me - just how do you display an image I've learned the format of BMP file for sure (and I've used my previous tools to generate a 16-bit palette as a 24-bit BMP file) and have yet to learn the format of TGA files. However, I just don't see any instructions that are used to get the image displayed on screen. The posi ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Skin weight Transforms and Model Importer
Hey, where do you guys store the transform matrices for skin weights in the content pipeline It seems that they are merged with the bone matrices before they are passed to the processor. Also, is there any way to extend the .X file importer class There are a lot of situations in which this can be useful. In a .X file joint skin weights are described as: SkinWeights { "joint2"; 12; 8, ... (indices) TRANSFORM MATRIX } And the transform Matrix is concatenated to the referenced bone matrix after the bone transforms are combined. I'd like to know what happened to this piece of data in the content processor :( I wrote my own skinned mesh animator for XNA beta 1, but without this, I'm having ...Show All
