• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Can I get XML(XAMLcode) from WPF/E Objects?

  For example, Draw application (by WPF/E) . How can I upload draw data to server The geometry data which a user makes are complicated. That may be true, but your code has to handle creating the geometry data anyway, right What functions would your CAD program expose I do agree that if you download a large XAML file and allow the user to modify part of the data, which would equate to you changing values of element data in javascript (instead of creating new elements) then it would require a lot more code to also update a "string" representation. Is not WPF/E suitable for such a use From a rendering perspective I think WPF/E is very suitable. But from an editing and persisting ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA has it's own GamePad DeadZone?

  I've been looking at the output of the thumbsticks, and it appears a value less than 24% (0.24) is ever returned. I know it's very important to implement deadzone in your programs, but why has it been done for us Someone may want to write a game that needs a smaller deadzone, but as far as I can tell it would be impossible given we don't have full access to the output right the way from 0 to 1. Is this behaviour intentional Many thanks, Adam Miles LeeC22 wrote: The actual bug lies in the fact that the horizontal deadzone is being reported when the vertical position is outside the vertical deadzone and visa versa. I don't think having dead-zones per axis is a good idea, because of the circular ...Show All

  How to make a compiler link with __CxxFrameHandler instead of __CxxFrameHandler3. Is there is any option available. We are developing printer drivers for Vista Operating system, for the XPS print path, using PT/PC support. Problem: Though we could install the binaries on the Vista OS, we were not able to install the Vista binary set on a XP operating system. We have installed the .Net3.0 on XP Operating system. Issue: On investigation, we found that one of our DLL was referring to some functions like : * strcat_s, * _itow_s, * __CxxFrameHandler3, * _except_handler4_common The issue is that the above functions "are not" exported by MSVCRT.DLL available on XP SP2 OS.

• Visual FoxPro FoxPro Downgrade Help

  I recently formatted my pc at work and and to reinstall all of my applications. I tried installing Visual FoxPro 9.0, however it was not working correctly. It kept giving me the error "Cannot locate the Microsoft Visual FoxPro support library." So I uninstalled this, and tried installing Visual FoxPro 8.0. The program now runs fine on it's own, however, whenever I try to run a FoxPro-based application (i.e. Mail Order Manager), I still get the same error. I don't know if the application is still trying to use remnants of FoxPro 9.0, or what. Does anybody know what I can do to fix this Thanks in advance, Steve >Is there a way to just change the default FoxPro support library that is used, w ...Show All
