• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Accessing internet resources?

  I understand from the FAQ that the XNA Framework on the Xbox 360 will not have any support for Xbox Live, which means no network gaming, at least at this time. However I would like to know whether there is any support for accessing resource assets on the internet For example is it possible to access image resources on an internet site using a C# HttpWebRequest MagicBuzz wrote: Hello, So, if I understand well, there won't be a net support in XNA for X360. But for Windows, can we hope a net layer in XNA I'm currently working on a MMORPG, and XNA sounds good for the client software.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. About SpriteBatch.Draw Overloads

  I was wondering if there is a performance difference between the various overloads The overloads that take more parameters may perform a little more pre-transforming of the vertices, but any performance difference would be neglible. If you are concerned about performance, the best thing you can do is make sure that as many of your Draw calls as possible use the same texture parameter. You can do this by putting your sprites in the same texture and then using the sourceRectangle parameter. When you do this, SpriteBatch is able to "batch" your "sprites" together into just one or a few draw calls which really improves performance. ...Show All

• Windows Forms C# Printing Problem

  Dear All, I have been tasked with the following: Firstly design a class that allows the user to enter their name. The class should contain only one method and uses the console namespace to ask the user. Once the name is obtained the method should fire an event that will initiate the printing process In the event handler, a PrintDocument object will be required to initiate printing, a seperate method that controls printing of pages will need to be created. In the print handler the name entered by the user should output to the middle of the page The print page handler will need to access the name entered, this must be done via the use of a private class field. I have developed the following code, but cannot f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using the Help in C# Express

  I'm using C# Express Edition, and when I do searches, I'd like to only see the C# references. Is there a reason why with EVERY link I click on it defaults to all languages, and a way that I can change that to be ONLY C# I've been through the different options that I can find, but can see nothing that will mark this as being my preferred language.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Boing v.0.5

  My first "real" game. Just a pong game but I used a different way than just having on or two files. I'll show the source after I clean up the code and summarize it for others to follow. I'll keep adding onto the game to learn other things. Rate/Comment. Boing Version 0.5 I made it go fast quickly because I wanted a quick play game. In future versions (when I get familiar with stuff) I'll have settings and such. I know what you are talking about with the ball going out (of the window at the top and bottom of the screen). The code for this game is pretty detailed (Entity class, Sprite class). Some things I just made up logically (logically in my head). There were probably ways to do it better, but oh ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Suggested WPF 3D Resources

  I recently started researching 3D programming in WPF. I read over the high-level SDK docs and played around with some samples, but I don't have a lot of time to tinker with it. I'd appreciate it if some people who have solid WPF 3D experience would take a moment to provide me with some links to resources that you feel are "really good" for getting started. Keep in mind that I don't have any 3D programming experience, so it's a whole new world for me. :) Thanks for any help. If you have zero 3D programming experience just as I do, you should check out this title: Windows Presentation Foundation (a.k.a. "Avalon") 3D Tutorial Sheva ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can't debug an ASP.NET project in VS 2003

  Hi All, I have an ASP.net project which I'm not able to debug. I don't get any error messages, but, when I try to debug using 'F5', the breakpoint in the Page_Load method changes to a " " and on mouseover, I see the message : "The breakpoint will currently not be hit.No symbols have been loaded for the document." The project compiles successfully though, and I have it in 'Debug' mode, not release, both in web.config and VS. I don't see a 'Debug' folder under 'bin' folder in the project. Any pointers will be appreciated.

• Visual Basic Service dosen't want to copy from network/vpn
