Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Build for Xbox 360 and Windows in one project
I have created a Visual Studio project template that can be built for either Xbox 360 or Windows, by selecting the correct platform in the VS IDE. There's nothing particularly clever about this, it just uses some of the conditional abilities of MSBuild projects to merge the properties of an Xbox 360 XNA project with a Windows XNA project. There's a slight problem though - the VS Express C# IDE has, by default, disabled the build configuration and platform settings to present a simpler interface to beginners. In order to use this project template you need to re-enable these features and should probably have a reasonable understanding of what they do. This could be the reason that the XNA devs have mentioned that building for both platforms ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System MS Project and "Assigned To" field
Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible that the "Assigned To" field in Team Foundation has the format "firstname.lastname" instead of "last name, first name". I have to publish my MS Project plan in a global MS Project server of my company, that uses the "firstname.lastname" format for the Resources Pool, so when I try to syncronize with Team Foundation I get an error because the "Assigned To" field is not a valid user. Please, could you help me Thanks, Montse Montse, The fix will not address your issue. It will fix the problem where Project considers the comma to be a separator and breaks the user name into 2. I'll have to find out ...Show All

First XNA game...done! It's an old school missile commander clone (only its CommandeEr, like pirates...ARRRR!!!).

The source graphics has group concept and each group has its own coordinate space. To simulate the group concept, we use a Viewbox containing Canvas. Also specify the Width and Height.
