• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. colorvalue in progressive mesh sample

  Hi, new to DirectX in C#, not in C++. In the August 2005 DirectX sdk update, there is a sample in C# called "Progressive Mesh".  When I compile this sample, I get 36 errors, all of which are type or namespace missing errors.  Here's an example.  'ColorValue', which is supposed to be of the Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D namespace simple does not appear to be there.  MSDN says it's part of the namespace, auto-complete does not.  What is going on   I know this is probably a newb question, but hey, I'm a newb :) Trial and error.... (actually I think David Weller pointed out the conversion one to me after I complained about having to fix up the projects every time - I forget the changes but it is possible to fix ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro SCREEN RESOLUTION

  HELLO EVERYBODY, CAN WE SET RESOLUTION PROGRAMATICALLY IF YES, PLEASE TELL ME HOW YES. However because not all hardware (video cards/chipsets or monitors) can support all video resolutions, it can potentially cause real problems. Besides, what if there is another application running that insists on a different resolution At the very least check with the user first and log off an agreement to not sue for any damages incurred. Of course if I was presented with this option, I'd find another piece of software to use! Rick ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do you save dynamic user settings?

  The following code is meant to save a form's size so that other forms can inherit the code and not need any sticky code or properties to be set. There are many forms that will do this, so the user property is dynamically setup using a formID property to make it unique. I do not wish to add all these properties into the settings manually, so I was hoping that the application could save the information. When the code is run the inherited forms remember their size correctly, but if the code is restarted this information is lost, so it does not seem to get saved. Is there something I can add to ensure this Private Sub Form1_FormClosed( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosedEventArgs) Handles Me ...Show All

• Visual C++ Other lanuguages (Japanese) strings in quickwatch while debugging

  Hi everybody, I am seeing a peculiar thing, i.e when I debug I getting japanese strings in Quickwatch while debugging a VC++ Project in wchar_t array. I using wsprintf(pExeFile,(LPCWSTR)"%s",pModuleFile); If I use char array instead of wchar_t it is showing the following error.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Determining if (part of) traingle passed depth buffer test/got rendered

  My problem is simple, I want to draw an triangle (or anything for that matter) and then want to know, in the fastest possible way, if anything actually got rendered. I want to use this for a kind of portal engine. Basicly I want to draw part of a complex scene, with depth buffer enabled for read/write. Then I want to draw an transparent triangle (with depth buffer writing disabled), if part of this triangle is actually rendered (thus is within the viewing frustum and passes depth buffer test) I want to know this, so I know that which is behind it, is also visible. I need to do this several times per frame and want to keep my framerate up, so I want to do this as fast as possible. Does anybody has an idea how to do this ...Show All

• Visual Basic Dialogs Does Not Display in the IDE

  While working in the IDE I would do some testing then I would need to see the dialog I was working with. It is not displaying properly Basically it is blank. What I do, is shut down Visual Studio and restart it again .. this fixes the problem. Anybody have a solution, Microsoft I believe if you have a certain anti virus software, the recent update blocks the messages preventing it from displaying it in the dialog. There is a patch out for it apperently which seems to resolve the issue.

• .NET Development the age old problem of "the root element is missing"

  I've done a lot of searching for how to fix this error, and I can't find what's different between everything else and my code. Basically what I'm doing is connecting to a bizTalk .asp service, and its being sent fine, and is recieved fine. It uses streams to get back and forth, and if I were to write it out to a string, it works fine. If I pass the same stream into the constructor of another class that parses the stream to xml, it gives the error.
