• Visual Studio Express Editions Question about converting data types

  Good day, I'm having a little problem in C# while reading from a binary file. What I am trying to do is get the decimal value of 2 bytes of hex data, i.e. "0008" in hex would become 8 in decimal data. Problem is, whenever I try to read it it outputs 2048 or something similar, at least not the number I am looking for, which means I should be doing something wrong... Do you have any idea to get a right number out of this My current reading code: -------------------------------- private int packageType; // Nothing interesting to see here either map = new FileStream (url, FileMode .Open, FileAccess .ReadWrite, FileShare .ReadWrite); BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader (map); map.Seek(0, SeekOri ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Looking for Example of Sliding Control Panel

  I'm trying to get a working sample where the control panel (panel of menu buttons) slides up and down from the bottom at any time (on selection). Similar to what was shown in the demo at the CES. I'm trying to use some java script from the popular AJAX style libraries (like Scriptaculous), but so far have had no luck getting it to work. Does anyone have a sample of this type of behavior to share Thanks. You inspired me to write such an example :-) http://blogs.msdn.com/ptorr/archive/2006/07/11/662730.aspx Peter ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Sizeof(Color) struct / Terrain Rendering issue

  I'm working on translating a Terrain generation project from a Direct3D book that I purchased into C#/XNA. I so far have accomplished 1) Generating a height map using the algorithm in the book adapted to C# 2) Taking that height map and rendering it to the screen using a Panel in a Windows Forms app (the panel is passed to the GraphicsDevice). Everything works beautifully. Last night, I built out the classes/structs I needed to convert the heightmap into a grid of patches that then are rendered as a model to the panel. I had some bugs in translating to XNA because of no Mesh object. However, I was able to overcome those. It looks like my terrain is rendering, however, I don't think its correctly using my COLOR data. I built out the s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Why so many nested levels when adding a project to VSS?

  I am using Visual Studio 2005 and VSS 2005 on XP Pro SP2 (so pretty much all the latest revs and what not). Adding a new project to VSS is driving me crazy because it seems to be creating a directory structure in VSS that I simply do not understand. For example, I created a new BI project to work on some SSIS packages. So, for this example, let's say I called my project "SSIS Tests". Visual Studio dutifully creates a new solution and lists 4 standard subfolders and a new, empty package file: + Data Sources + Data Source Views + SSIS Packages + Package.dtsx + Misc Then I choose the "Add project to Source Control" item, log in to VSS and in the "Add to SourceSafe" dialog that is displayed it gives it ...Show All

  Hi, We are experiencing intermittent authentication errors "Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 10" on a customer's production server.

• Smart Device Development Windows Mobility Center - Problem with MobilityCenterRefresh API

  Hi, I'm currently working on creating a OEM tile for Windows Mobility Center application. This tile shows whether a particular hardware setting is enabled/disabled. Since the code to retrieve that particular hardware status takes some time to execute and slows down the user interface of Windows Mobility Center, I have incorporated a background thread to accomplish that task. Until the thread finishes its task, an intermediate status is displayed. After the thread retrieves the hardware status, it notifies the foreground application to update its user interface by calling MobilityCenterRefresh API. This API internally calls the interface methods of the COM object which provides UI resources to the tile. But in some scenarios MobilityCente ...Show All
