• Internet Explorer Development Css not applying.

  i am creating a text area (multi line text box) but its not applying css to it..... any ideas 2ndly i have created a required field validator dynamically and applying the css on it but it is still showing error in default red color. for record css is applying on all other controls on the page. I have this too. The problem is that the asp:RequiredFieldValidator outputs style="color:Red" and so it overrides any color you may have in your CSS. eg. < style type ="text/css"> .errorText { color: green; } < /style > <span id="ctl00_cphBody_RequiredFieldValidator" class="errorText" style="color:Red;">* Required</span> I see why this is a problem but don't know how to fix it....

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 3D on Xbox360 using XNA

  I've read the forums a couple times, and I'm still confused on this one. Can I use the DirectX libraries if I want my game to run on Xbox360 If so do I need to stick with a certain build of DirectX I'm just starting to build up my game engine now, and DirectX is making all of it much easier. I hate 3D graphics programming, but I love game programming. But I don't want to keep going down that road if its a dead end. Thanks to everyone in advance XNA is built on top of DirectX, and includes a lot of directx functionality, so I don't see why you're using non-xna directx. You should try to use the XNA libraries for the xbox, because that's what they were designed for. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. F14 XNA Game with Full Source

  Well here it is. I finally got my first game into a releasable state. Screenshot, video, and full source available after the jump. http://aroganworld.blogspot.com/2006/09/f14-xna-game.html I couldn't have done it without the great help from this forum (and all those xna sites). Let me know what you think. Yeah let me know if you have any issues. I did d/l the zip, unzipped it to a new directory, compiled and did a test run so I think it should work. Also, I just remembered I forgot to hook in the game over voice clip. Oops. It's in the sound bank, I just forgot to trigger it so I'll probably update the zip tonight when I get home. It was a late night last night. Damn you Microsoft for making this time si ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I create a backshadow of a line of text

  I've been asked to create a drop shadow effect of a line of text on a form. When I was coding VB 6.0, this was easy as I would create twoi labels and set one to transparent and drop the other behind the first. When the app ran, a drop-shadow effect would be apparent. But I'm having fits trying that in V.S. 2005. I've set the forms Transperancy Key to a color and set the label back color to the same color but what I got for that was being able to see the desktop! And setting the top label back color to transperant apparently does not work either, unless there was something else I failed to do Is there a way of doing this or will I have to convince the user that this is no longer possible Thanks; Rhubarb I will still sugg ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Group delimiters are not balanced

  I was looking for a quick and dirty way of making an OpenFileDialog show thumbnails. Using the keyboard Five tabs, four Downs and an Enter seemed to do the trick so I thought I would use SendKeys (from a timer to overcome the fact that the dialog is modal) - I said it was dirty but it's only for my own use. The tabs work fine but sending a down key results in the error message of the title. At which point I gave up - anyone any ideas.

• Visual Basic Returning the current opened form

  Hi guys I have a lot of forms opened one at a time by users Which function can I use to determine the current form with focus. you could use Application.OpenForms() and see which one has focus: for each currentForm as Form in Application.OpenForms    if currentForm.Focused then       'do your thing    end if next the problem you are going to have is the fact that the current form will be focused anyway so you wouldnt gain much benefit from using the code above. Application.OpenForms returns an array of forms that are open. Perhaps you need to explain a bit more on what you are trying to achieve so we can help you better ...Show All

• Windows Forms How is {Name} property handled in designer?

  I have some strange things happening with my controls concerning the Name property. I have a custom user controls in a custom forms designer. If I change the {Name} property of my user control through a Property Grid control, it doesn't call the set method of the UserControls Name property. The name is set, because the Property Grid recognizes the new name, but if I reference the controls overridden Name property , it still holds the old name. It is causing me major problems. It is really strange. Here is what I'm seeing. This method removes a control that I have from an internal array. It is called by the Change service when a component is removed. public void RemoveControlFromControlArray( DisplayObjBase dob) { ...Show All
