• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. C++ or C#

  Hello, I am currently taking a class in C++ and I've always wanted to make games. I downloaded the c# XNA software. My question is: Can I use visual C++ instead of learning a new language (C#) to make games for the XBOX 360 and PC Or would it be better to go ahead and dive in to the new XNA software, and why is one better for gamming applications and / or learning to write games OK, thank you....so it seems I wouldnt be 'making a mistake' by learning C# and getting to it. Although I have created simple bussiness applications in C++, I've never made a game and deaalt with graphics and animation and such..is there any books or starter material youm would recomend that would step you through simpl ...Show All

• SQL Server Get percentage with variation of field values (country names)

  Any help here would be greatly appreciated... Unfortunately, data wasn't filtered prior to getting inserted into this table. Now I am stuck with cleaning it up. I have thought about writing a query to update all the values, but there are just too many variations, including spelling mistakes, so I've ruled that out as a possible solution. I have a table which has a Country field but the values per record vary. For example US, U.S., USA, United States, UK, United Kingdom, Canada, Can, etc. I'm trying to find the percent of records per country. Sample table data: mytable Id  Name  Country 1  John     US 2  James  UK 3  Jane     United States 4  Mary  & ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) New XAML elements do not display immediatelly

  I created a test HTML page containing a WPF/E control - Canvas, clickable Rectangle that covers the entire canvas, TextBlock at the bottom of the control that displays a message about the coordinates of every click. On every click after displaying the message, I create a small ellipse(circle) and add it to the Canvas at the point of the click. It all works fine when the entire page is visible in the browser, BUT in a shorter browser window, where the TextBlock is not visible, the clicks do not render circles, UNTIL I scrolled the browser down and the TextBlock became visible. At this point all circles that should have been rendered moments earlier, appeared. When clicking while the TextBlock is visible it all works fine. Scroll it ...Show All
