• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE while build of first example in help how to do

  I used to code in pascal, cobol, assembly, basic, etc, but not C. From: Your First Game: Microsoft XNA Game Studio Express in 2D following along and doing the first build, I get the error above. I did not think I was calling the 3d engine only the 2d. I cannot find any help on the error, where to look, etc, except what is in the error window when you cursor over it. I cannot figure out how to copy the error in that popup window to look at it further. I know some dislike nubies, but please help if you know the answer. Its disheartening to type in only 6 lines of code and not be able to debug it! To say the least. Thanks OH OH OH, I figured out how to copy the error: Error 1 Building content threw InvalidOperationExcept ...Show All

• Visual C++ devenv compile unit

  Is there any reason why devenv could not accept a single compilation unit compile command (I would like to use a third part tool to issue not only a build command, but also individual file compilation.) Is there any way to compile a single file on the command line using the rules within the SLN So what I have done is to go into project properties and cut and paste the compile command line string into my tool. It just seems like it would have been an equally easy thing for devenv to provide along with the build command. Thank you, Reid ...Show All

• Visual Studio Possible Hosting Process problem

  I am having a problem that I believe has something to do with the hosting process. I have a Form with a DataGridView and DataGridViewComboBoxColumn. When I click on any of the cells to access a ComboBox I see a System.Threading.ThreadStateException that says: "Current thread must be set to single thread apartement (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it. at System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox.set_AutoCompleteSource(AutoCompleteSource value) ..." I have also just upgraded and converted my large application from VS 03 to 05; this is also done in VB. When I disable the VS hosting process I do not see the exception.

• Windows Forms ClickOnce file extension registration

  In the ClickOnce FAQ at http://www.windowsforms.net/FAQs/default.aspx PageID=2&ItemID=17&CategoryID=24&tabindex=2 it says: "Some low impact tasks such as file type registration can be achieved with first time app-startup logic in your application" How can I register a file name extension which will invoke my ClickOnce deployed application If one can find the .exe on disk and register this one then ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed is false. So this seems like a dead end. Any help would be appreciated.   /Lars If you decide to use an msi to register the needed file type before installing the ClickOnce application, I would suggest using the Generic Bootstrapper.

• .NET Development Target the Framework version and Redirect Assembly Bindings from 2.0 to 1.1

  Dear all, I have encountered a problem of "DragDrop registration failed" problem in my .NET 1.1 dll because of the assembly binding is always going to .NET 2.0. (I realized the related attribute [STAThread], however, there's no Main() in my C# libraries) Therefore I tried to specifiy the runtime version and redirect those bindings in MyModule.dll.config. The binded assemblies, however, are still in .NET 2.0, according to both VS.NET 2003's output log and VS.NET 2005's fuslogvw. Meanwhile, they also logged compiling and linking processes. At that stage, linked assemblies are in version 1.1 correctly. My question is, does it means that configurations of runtime version and assembly binding redirection do not work backwa ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problem With My Tile Engine...Specifically Looped Drawing [LOTS OF CODE!]

  OK, I have been having a lot of problems with this, and I have tried every possible solution and it does not seem to want to work. I am programming a Tile Engine that will run my RPG, and so far it has been going great. I have error logging, a TileManager for loading tiles into lists so that they are recallable at any time, and I have various other features that are currently being worked on. What is bothering me the most is that my TileManager class will actually load the content into the content manager (code below) and everything will work fine, the only problem is, when I go to draw the tile (which is withdrawn from the list in a looped format, code below), it for some reason just DOES NOT want to draw the tile, and it gives me n ...Show All

• Smart Device Development secure device

  how can i setup my pocket pc to accept only programs with the certificate that i have created I don't have an example for you as it's up to OEM to implement. I've seen one custom CE 4.2 device with such security, but I don't know the details (and it’s out if scope for this forum anyway). Code signing won't work. It won't prevent your application from been installed on to other devices and it won't prevent other applications from been installed on your device because you're not the only one with access to device certificate. You need access to ROM, then you can remove all certificates and put in your own, that would prevent installing other applications on to your device. ...Show All
