• Smart Device Development Windows Mobile 5 and secchk.lib

  I'm trying to add a WM5 target to my PPC2003 solution (Visual Studio 2005). I installed the SDK, added a new build type (I derived it from my PPC2003 build type), and chose the correct emulator for the target device. The problem is that even if I have /GS- in the compiler settings (disable security checks), I am still getting LNK1104 for secchk.lib. As far as I can tell, secchk.lib doesn't even exist in the WM5 SDK. I can't find any explicit references to secchk.lib anywhere in the project. Does anyone know where I went wrong, or what the solution is Hey Jeff, Thanks for sticking with me till now. Looks like this whole time it was an oversight on my end. I guess I was still linking with an sqlite.l ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problems implementing a skybox

  Perhaps somebody with more experience could help me. I want to implement the skybox example from the DirectX SDK (Samples/C++/Direct3D/StateManager) and I've copied and renamed the following files (skybox01.x, skybox02.dds and skybox03.fx) to my project folder and have added them to the content pipeline. But I don't get it managed to load the skybox with her texture and set the camera to the center of the box, I think because I don't know how to handle the effects of the *.fx file and how to transform the box correct. (I'm new to XNA and I only have tried out the simple 3D examples with BasicEffects from the help files so far.) So if somebody has the time to show me how to handle these files correctly, I would be very glad. (You c ...Show All

• Windows Forms Refresh problem using Infragistics windows tab control (third party)

  Hello, I am having refresh problems using the Infragistics tab windows forms control. My application form has around 6 tabs, each tab having approx. 50 controls with a scroll bar. Most of the controls in the form are simple .net controls like textbox, combo boxes etc. Yet when I run this form, the screen does not show up instantly. It takes about 2-3 seconds (sometimes longer) to refresh the entire screen. If anybody has come accros this problem and has a fix, please let me know. Please note, i have tried doing the same using Windows tab controls and the refresh still persists. Thanks Rgds, Jay That's pretty normal for any Windows Forms app, creating 300 controls takes a lot of time. Resort to the classic w ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Game Distribution

  I am trying to get a very simple 2D XNA game to run on other peoples machines; but when I send them the relevant files, they all complain of getting some form of error report. They all claim to have the requirements (XNA Framework, latest DirectX and .NET Framework 2.0) installed, but it seems something, somewhere isn't doing its job. One of the people in question only has a Radeon 7000, so it is understandable why it isn't working. But the other two have a GeForce 6800 and a 7300GS which should be more than enough! I have tried both ClickOnce installers and binaries from both Debug and Release directories. They all worked fine in folders on my machine, but on other computers the installers installed fine, but just throw up a windows error ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions two questions????

  1- i add data base to my form and when i want to modifay in it and when i close the program and open it again all changes not saved       what can i do to save changes     2- how can i make my program setup file   thnx microsoft community For the first question, a problem like this is typically caused by the fact that your database is set to always copy to the output directory, if this is true, then you original database is going to overwrite the updated one that you have. You can run the publish wizard in your application properties. This will create a click once installer. For anything else, you would need a 3rd-party installation application. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Adding TreeNode nodes to treeview1.Nodes[index] ?

  I want to biuld a tree from a XML file, but I can't seem to get the following to work: treeView1.Nodes.Add( new TreeNode ( "year") ); treeView1.Nodes[0].Nodes.Add( new TreeNode ( "month" )); int noTreeNodes = treeView1.Nodes.Count; // Should return 2, but only returns 1 treeView1.Nodes[noTreeNodes].Nodes.Add( new TreeNode ( "day" )); The problem is that nodes are only indexed if added as in the first line, not the second line Therefor the last line fails, since it tries to get the Node with index 1, which does not exist. Any help appreciated! The nodes have a tree structure. So treeView1.Nodes.Count only returns the count of the top nodes which is 1. To add the day under the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. New to this - Keyboard Input

  Hey guys. I'm pretty new to the C# language. I've downloaded XNA and I've been messing around trying to create a pong game. So far I've managed to get the two paddles on the screen along with a red ball. I want to add keyboard input to the two paddles (they are sprites). I've been looking around on how to add keyboard input, but the more I look, the more confused I get. If someone could help me that'd be great. Some other things I am in the dark about are how to make your window application a bigger size, and if there is a coordinate plane for the window application. I normally find myself just guessing coordinates for my sprites untill they are places where I want. Thanks. Hey Markus, Check out the XInput ...Show All

  Hello all, MSN VE is looking fantastic and getting better. Indeed a good option against google earth.
