• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Loading 3D Landscapes

  Hello, I would like to start this thread as hopefully a complete how-to with 3D Landscapes until the documentation is availalble. Here are my initial questions: These would pertain more for those that want a shooter or mmorg, but useful for all! 1.) How would one load a 3d heightmap and view it 2.) How can you apply splatting to the landscape using alpha maps 3.) How can one go about paging the landscape ie: each sector would be (say 512 x 512) - how can you load/unload the maps to save resources. 4.) Performance - why choose .png over .bmp or .jpg for heightmap, alphamp and textures Maybe this site helps: http://www.riemers.net/eng/Tutorials/XNA/Csharp/series1.php ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Using the downloader for downloading the XAML

  Hi, Is it possible to use the downloader object for downloading the XAML that contains the WPF/E content and control its rendering For example start rendering only after 50% was downloaded Thanks, Keren It is possible to use the downloader object to download the Xaml (as documented here ) but it can't control the rendering. However, you could easily achieve the above by splitting up the Xaml into two or more files and then adding the additional items as they are downloaded. So you could have the first file just contain the canvas and maybe a background and then use the downloader to pull the remaining items in one or more other files. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Timeout maximum value in config file

  What is the maximum value for timeouts, like receiveTimeout for netNamedPipeBinding I'm trying to set as large a value as possible: receiveTimeout="23:59:59" If I set the hours, minutes or seconds to larger, then my app crashes on start-up. I also tried putting receiveTimeout="10.23:59:59" (According to Timespan documentation, the number before the period should indicate the number of days). However, if I set the number of days to larger than 23, I still get a crash -- which makes me think that "10.23" in the above examples is being parsed as 10.23 hours, and then that is added to 59 minutes 59 seconds. So, what is the maximum value for all these timeouts Can tell it to *not* timeout, ever ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System FX Cop: Your Opinions Please

  I'm a Visual Basic developer that is making the move to C#. One of the things I'm doing this time around is taking care to pick up all the best practices that I can stuff into my noggin'. I've heard that FX Cop is a good tool to start with right out of the gate (even for tiny hello world programs) because it can teach you standardized ways of doing stuff. I'd like to use well accepted C# community standards in my learning so that they become just a part of the way I use the language. I'm wanting to cast off habits I've picked up in VB. So I'm looking for opinions of FX Cop - good start in all of this - yes/no I'm currently developing in VB.NET 2.0 I'm working on learning C# though - I'd like to ...Show All

• .NET Development CodeDom and Override.

  I am declaring an implementation of a method like: CodeMemberMethod initMethod = new CodeMemberMethod (); initMethod.Name = "Init" ; initMethod.Attributes = MemberAttributes .Public | MemberAttributes .Final | MemberAttributes .Override; But the code that is getting generated is: public void Init() Any ideas on what else I need to do to get the override to be recognized Kevin Ah that explains it. If you want to override the method in the class you're defining then use MemberAttributes.Override to generate the override modifier. You are now overriding the abstract method defined in the base class. If you don't want to override method then leave off th ...Show All
