• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. this.IsMouseVisible = true;

  Is there anyway to change what *.cur is used I didn't see anything but I may be over looking it. I also tried making a GameComponent, using a sprite as the mouse cursor and this allows me to change the texture when needed. I ran into a problem with this also. When the mouse leaves the GameWindow the Texture stays there and it appears to have two cursors on the screen. You could set rules that if mouse > screenWidth don't draw but if you move the mouse with anytype of speed it never updates. To work around that I set: Mouse .IsCaptured = true ; Which works great. Till the GameWindow loses Focus. Once the Focus is lost the cursor does not act the same. IE: Prior to losing focus, cursor will go UNDER the top blue windowbar (where ...Show All

• Visual C# download msdn for visual C#

  Can I download msdn for visual C# As far as I can tell, not by itself, although the MSDN Library is part of the full VisualC# Express package, which can be downloaded ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualcsharp/download/default.aspx ) Note that the full package is 1.3 GB so hopefully, you have a fast connection and a lot of time.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rotate the viewport

  Is there any way to have the display in an XNA game project be rotated 90 degrees clockwise or counter clockwise I need the entire display to do this, so if there is a simple way(aside from setting the windows display rotation) please let me know. Thank you, Daniel Gary If it's a 2D game, you could create your own class inherited from the SpriteBatch class and override the Draw methods to do the rotation and use your new sprite batch class to do all of your rendering. The benefit of this is you wouldn't have to change any of the other code. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Hidden tool tips

  Brand new to VB2005 Express and feeling my way. So I rely heavily on the tool tips when they are available. Looking at the Toolbox, the tooltips are shy. They hide behind the toolbox and are totally invisible when the toolbox is on top of the main window. Perhaps a bug, or maybe something about my graphics settings I can't find any updates so assume ver. 8.0.50727 is the latest. tcebob Cant see this myself. Tried a couple of systems here.

• Software Development for Windows Vista InfoCard Identity Provider - Resources required

  I am trying to build an identity provider. I could use the following resources: 1) An official InfoCard schema. I have tried to piece together one from the tech-ref, but it has some validation issues and isn't really normative. 2) A sample managed InfoCard. I have tried to build one, but when I go to import it into the InfoCard selector, it fails with an unhelpful error message. The event log message is generic, too. 3) A way to get diagnostic messages out of the InfoCard selector when it has problems with my InfoCard and my identity service.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Calling CreateProcessAsUser() from service

  According to some MS documents (e.g. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/vista/services.mspx), it should be possible to use CreateProcessAsUser() API in a Vista service to create a process in user session.

• .NET Development Thread Memory consumption

  It seems that starting a managed Thread in .net 2.0 allocates 1MB of memory. I created a quick and dirty sample to reproduce this behaviour, it creates 100 threads and each thread sleeps for 10 seconds. Memory usage (while all threads are live), 100MB when compiled with the c++/cli or c# .net 2.0 compiler. Same code ported and compiled with VS.NET 2003 allocates just 3 MB. It has to be that I'm doing something wrong, can anybody put some light on this Srdjan // -------------100MB, cli/c++ .net 2.0 using namespace System; using namespace System::Threading; using namespace System::Diagnostics; ref class Work { public: static void DoWork() { ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Word 2002 Resources

  Hi, Does anyone know any good resources for Word 2002 development I'm guessing that I can't use VSTO if I'm using 2002 or can I Thanks in advance, M no, you can't use VSTO... Other than that, you can automate Word 2002 pretty much the same way as Word 2003 (except for things that were introduced in the later version). That means, any information you see about working with Word 2003 will basically be the same for Word 2002. For questions about how to work with Word, in detail, I recommend one of the Word newsgroups. For automating Word using a .NET language, ask in an office.developer newsgroup. You'll find links to these groups/interfaces in the Please Read First message at the top of this for ...Show All
