• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. vb.net project

  the project that you get when you select 'Windows Game (XNA)' in the C# Express, but converted to vb.net written with Studio 2005 Professional: http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/basicXna more samples converted to vb.net to follow, doesn't unchecking "Microsoft.VisualBasic" in the Reference section of the Project's properties do the same thing And I'm pretty sure there is a another solution that involves using the <documented>sdkpath switch in vbc.exe too. (ref: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/novbruntimeref.asp df=100&forumid=327076&exp=0&select=1657067#xx1657067xx ) So, again what is really stopping this from working in the x360 ...Show All

  my ppc is dopod 818 and it use wm2003se,i develop with vs2005,then how can i install .net cf 2.0 in dopod 818 thx! VS would install it automatically as you hit F5.

• Visual Studio How to detect Build Failed from a batch file

  I'm running msbuild from a .bat file on a project file that VS05 kindly wrote out for me:- MSBuild Helper.csproj /t:Rebuild /p:Configuration=Debug Pretty easy stuff, and I haven't even had to delve into the intricacies of .*proj files. But how to detect from within my batch file whether the build failed or was successful TIA Thanks for the heads-up about ERRORLEVEL. Unfortunately, it always prints out "Build success", whether it succeeded or failed. Which is strange because inserting an echo %ERRORLEVEL% statement just before the IF statement indicates that the error level is 1. But then perhaps this has something to do with it:- http://www.robvanderwoude.com/errorlevel.html ...Show All

  I have created a custom activity implementing IActivityEventListener interface. Then a EventArgs derived class which delivers the queue message.

• Visual Basic Error codes

  When I use an add command to add data to an Access dB, supposing that db doesn't exist or a connection is lost to the dB or anything atall, and my VB program returns an error to my program, rather than allowing it to crash is there an error code that gets returned that I can use to handle the program execution appropriately thanks tattoo I have been using the Try Catch block but I guess my problem was how to handle the error.
