  Hi, Haivng used the build script according to http://blogs.msdn.com/gautamg/archive/2006/01/04/509146.aspx , I find that the AssemblyMajorVersion is not updated for the binaries that are compiled. Anybody else who is having the same issue If you know, how to resolve this issue, can you please help me. Thanks Ill try that.

• Windows Forms Visual Studio Installer - insert License Agreement Dialog

  I am trying to create a simple installer program and wanted to insert a license agreement. I have added a new license dialog, then added the license file in RTF format to the installer project and specified the LicenseFile property of the License Agreement Dialog box. I rebuilded the whole project and still did not see the license text shows up in the dialog. No build errors or warning are reported. What could be wrong Thanks in advance Matador139 Thread moved to the appropriate forum. Interesting. I've never had this. you are sure that there is text in the license file Usually it would complain if there was no file to be found but obviously seems like you attached it appropriately. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Bullet Hell Tactics - Shoot'em'up game created with XNA (video and screensots)

  Hey! For the last couple of months (5 to be exact) I have been working on a shoot'em'up (shmup) game with XNA and have now come to point where I can show what it will look like and how it will play. I have screenshots and a gameplay video that can be found at http://shmup.blogspot.com . (Remember that this is work in progress, and a lot of stuff is missing). Here you can also read about the development and progress of the game. I don't yet have a playable demo for download (sorry). Later on I will have a beta for download for those of you that wish to try it. It has been a WHOLE lot of work to get this thing play (I know maybe it doesnt look like much work when you see it but trust me - it is!) Almost all the gameplay element ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development .SWF version supported in Windows Media Player?

  Hi, Sorry if this is miscategorized, but I couldn't find a forum specific to Windows Media Player. Does anyone know what versions of Flash .SWF files are supported by the various versions of Windows Media Player (9/10/11) The documentation indicates that .SWF files are supported, but gives no indication of what file version. Thanks, Garth Hi Garth, The Windows Media Player newsgroup is probably your bet bet for getting answers to WMP questions. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/community/newsgroups/WindowsMedia/default.mspx dg=microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player&lang=en&cr=US This forum focuses on questions about Media Foundation, the new multimedia platform for Vista. ...Show All

• .NET Development TCP Sockets checking aliveness

  Hi, I have an app where it is critical that any connection interruption between the server and the client is immediately noticed. Right now I'm using a "ping packet" that I send to the server and the server sends it back. If it's not returned within time x and the server hasn't received a new one within time x the client assumes it's disconnected or the server disconnects the client. However, since I'm sometimes sending large objects over the socket which can take a couple seconds to transmit I can't send a ping packet every 3 seconds or so as it then would time out since the socket might be blocked while sending a larger object. How are other applications dealing with this and which options do I have Thanks, Tom ...Show All

• .NET Development How to play MP3 file without WMP?

  Hello.How I can make my app to play mp3 files without using Windows Media Player.What I need to learn cgraus wrote: YOu need to learn how to write an mp3 decoder, and then you need to pay the licencing fees associated with writing code that uses that algorithm. Then you need to learn how to write the results direct to the sound buffer. Sounds too much like hard work to me, especially as the world sure doesn't need another MP3 player. Sounds like fun, tho, if you're into deep maths and have a lot of time on your hands. You could use any built-in Windows codecs to convert an MP3 stream into a PCM stream and use the SoundPlayer class. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Parallel debugger : concurrent users

  Hi, I work under Windows Server 2003 with Visual Studio 2005, on a multi-processors computer ; other developpers and I are developping a parallel application on this computer, and we would like to use the parallel debugger (lanching with mpishim.exe). This one works well, but two developper's can't use it at the same time. Moreover, everytime another developper wants to use it, both developpers must restart Visual Studio. You'll understand that this is a little annoying ! So, if anyone knows or have an idea about this, it woud be really nice ! Thank you etienne Sadly that's by design in the current implementation. Multiple developers driving the MPI shim on the same computer/cluster is not something we ha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Character Escapes - can't get them to work

  Is it possible to use character excapes in strings (such as those to appear in message boxes) in VB as I can't seem to get this to work I basically want strings like that below: "This is a string with a\n new line" to appear as below in the messagebox: This is a string with a new line But I can't seem to get it to do this. I know I can use things like Chr(13) and Chr(10) to achieve the same effect, but it feels cumbersome. Could someone explain the correct way to use escape characters in VB if this is possible. For your case VBcrlf would work. String = "abc" & VBCrLf & "xyz" See also http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=728 ...Show All
