• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 2d Platforms

  I understand it'd be pretty difficult to help me with a problem with me just describing it, without seeing code so... http://skynes.tripod.com/TheWizard.zip There's a link to a zip file containing my XNA project and all images. The Project so far is a mix of a couple of tutorials I found online (2d wizard and a tile engine) along with sprites I found online. I haven't made any of my own sprites yet cause I don't see the point until I have everything working, but I will be using all my own original sprites when it works. Anyway. So far it's a wizard who can jump and shoot fireballs. An enemy (movement currently commented out) walks across the screen, firballs dont do anything yet, but touching the enemy costs you a life.

• Visual Studio Copy task does not overwrite read-only files

  How do I make Copy task to overwrite read-only targets The quick anser is "You can't." The copy task always fails when it tries to overwrite a read-only file. You will have to retrieve the list of files being copied and delete them from the target folder prior to calling the Copy task. The nice thing is you can retrive the list with something like this: <Project DefaultTargets="" xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003 "> <ItemGroup> <FilesToCopy Include="C:\Temp\**\*" /> </ItemGroup> <Target Name="Build"> <Message text="@(FilesToCopy)" /> </Target> </Project> ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rendering To Textures in Beta2

  I used Texture2D's heavily with the usage RenderTarget, however in Beta 2 its like a whole new API. I understand that Surface no longer exists and RenderTarget/2D should be used. The problem is, the whole mentality is backwards compared to what im used to. From what I see I should create a RenderTarget2D and set that as a render target, then do rendertarget.GetTexture() if I want to set it. Thats fine. However, how do I copy between render targets There is no StretchRect or equivelent function I can see, which I used alot before. Surely I dont have to go about getting a texture, setting it, creating a 'copy' effect, setting a new render target, resolving the new render target just to copy from one to another Is there no alte ...Show All

• Windows Forms Add a bitmap to a richtextbox.

  Hi, I am attempting to print a results page to a printer. I have set up a .RTF file with a header and can load it into a richtextbox and add additional text to the file. I can save the new contents to a .RTF file, and using a wonderful utility I found embedded within the Help system, I can print the richtextbox to a printer. What I can't do, is add an image object to the richtextbox before I print it. I want to do this so that I can add a graph to the results page. Does anyone out there know if this is possible and if so, how to do it I am still struggling to understand C#, so any code would be more than welcome!! Many thanks John Woodiwiss Is there any way to preserve t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions C++ express edition 2005 Error running debug

  Hello, I just installed the visual C++ 2005 beta and I made a basic C++ program. But when I got to debug it, it says the system cannot find the path specified.

• Visual Basic Create Web-like Forms as Windows App

  I have used VS 2005 to create a family-based web site ... about 100 pages/forms consisting of mostly text with some graphics thrown in for interest. I have no intention of putting this out on a publicly-accessible server but instead had anticipated burning everything onto CD's and then distributing that to family members so that they could view the site on their own machines (XP Pro SP2) using IE. In inquiring on this forum how to do that I am told that that is not feasible and that instead I should have created a windows app and simply deployed that app to the family (via CD). That's fine except for one thing ... I don't know how to create a web-like app as a windows app. For example, as I create the app I want to be able to easily highli ...Show All

• Visual Basic Locate a specific row in a datatable

  I am having a problem using the method of finding rows by column values using the following code: Dim FoundRows() as Data.DataRows Dim NeededExpression as String NeededExpression="Name= 'John's Car' " FoundRows=Dataset1.Tables("Cars").Select(NeededExpresion) The above cannot find the name I need and I think the cause of this is in the data itself because it has the character " ' " typed in the Data Table. Is there a way of working around this problem Thank you Batico, Modify the two lines in your program like this: NeededExpression="John's Car" FoundRows=DataSet1.Tables("Cars").SelectedItem("Name",NeededExpression) ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom Control Click Event

  I Have created a custom control which has a couple of labels on it and a progress bar.
