• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Realtime debugging text?

  Hello. All I`d like to do is display crude text somewhere inside the game screen. Can I do this without having to load/use any type of font. The `Print` commands equivelant I suppose It`s just so I can see a variable changing during play. Please excuse this possibly mundane question but I`m fairly new to all this. -Daz. I believe you can include System.Diagnostics and use Debug.WriteLine() to output text while running in debug mode. The nice thing about this is it's ignored in release mode, so you don't need to worry about commenting out all the debug code. ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Sample: MSN AddIn - Outlook Calendar

  Description A simple msn live addin that will integrate with Outlook Calendar. Set it up so that it's enabled when my status is anything other than "online" or "appear offline". Now when someone sends you a message the addin will check outlook to see if you currently have any appointments and reply with something like this: [15:33] dan (work): Auto-Response: I am currently in a meeting (test) scheduled to end at 4:00 PM If no appointments are found no reply is sent. The addin also keeps an internal list of users that it has replied to so that it doesn't send out the same info more than once to each person. This list is reset when the status is changed back to online. As with the text-to-speech sample I posted the oth ...Show All

• Windows Forms Binding a datasource to combobox

  I have a ComboBox in my application that is bound to a BindingList through the DataSource property. I am monitoring the SelectedIndexChanged event of the combobox for selection changes made by the user. My problem is that i want the ComboBox to have an empty selection (nothing selected) initially, however upon setting the DataSource property to the BindingList the ComboBox automatically changes selection (from empty) to the first item in the BindingList. Selection also changes (if there is nothing selected) when items are deleted or added to the BindingList (once its bound to the ComboBox). Is there anyway of disabling this behaviour any help would be much appreciated. Sorry still dont und ...Show All

• Visual C++ AfxGetThread from non-MFC thread

• SQL Server Enabling CLR Integration

  Hi All, I'm new to SQL Server Express. But I need to find out how easy it is to create custom types with SQL Server Express because we have to represent house numbers as a custom type in the database. After enabling the CLR integration with the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tool, I created an SQL Server Project with VS 2005 Pro., created a custom type called HouseNo, deployed it to a database and finally created a table with a column of that custom type. But when I tried to use the option 'Show Table Data' for that table, the following errors always appeared SQL Execution Error Executed SQL statement SELECT NP.ToString() AS NP From Table1 Error Source : .NET SqlClient Data Provider Error Message : Execution of user code in ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Service installation in Vista

  Hi, During setup my software attempts to install a service, and Vista claims that it can't identify a publisher and asks if I still want to install (i.e. trust the 'unknown' publisher) or reject the setup. All files to be signed in the package are signed properly with a "true" publisher certificate. Surfed through MS pages, MSDN and have found a lot of info about drivers signing and installation, but nothing concerning cervices set up under Vista. Is there any specific procedures or best-practices for such tasks Best regards, Kostya The presence of a certificate by itself isn't what makes this safe for the customer. I can give you a signed program, but why does the fact that it's signed make it safe The point here is that ...Show All

• .NET Development Runtime error while loading DLL on Win64 platform.

  Hi, I am trying to compile my program as DLL on Windows 64-bit (AMD64) platform using VC 8.0. This DLL is loaded through Pro/Engineer Wildfire 3.0 and upon loading it is supposed to add a toolbar option to Wildfire 3.0 However, when I start Wildfire 3.0, I always get C Run-Time Error R6034, which is related to manifest file.
