• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Game Components Demo

  I've posted a video of my Game Components demo I did at Gamefest. http://blogs.msdn.com/xna/archive/2006/08/31/734204.aspx Mitch, Nice video (ouch on the file size) it really has me excited to make some components. Those could really help in teaching other and helping others make games. What I mean is when making a tutorial you can drop a component into the program and it is less confusing than dropping copied code. Plus a component can be made a little more general use. ...Show All

• .NET Development Substring with regex??

  This is a simple stripping MyString.substring(1,150); but I want to strip the first 150 chars and also any of the following characters if found in the first 150 chars: HTML tags carriage returns line feeds tabs Can this be done using regex and substring or just regex How can this be done I'm not an expert in using regex with c# but I am when it comes to PERL. Since however I believe that c#'s way of implementing regex is very similar to PERL's you should be able to do this using just regex through grouping. Now I'm not going to write a regex for you as I have to do work and they are a very valuable tool to know so you should read throught the documentation, you'll find examples that will show you how to ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Grabbing the current URL and maybe the current page from outside of IE?

  What I'm looking to do is open a webpage in IE and be able to grab the current URL of that page with another application. What would be great is if I could grab the entire page too. Here is why I need this. My program needs a SID that the website provides to IE. This is provided be the website and with it I can then enter data with my local app because I can pass that SID. The SID is in the URL and even better in that current page. If this is not possible then how hard would it be to create an extention for IE to write the SID it has recieved someplace local If this is possible then I could just grab it and do the same work. Thank you Ok I did some more searching and I see the a BHO will do this for ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions getting around Administrator Rights

  how do i set up my program to run under a normal user and not require them to be administrator Thanks well this depends on the user themselves, they would have to do a "runas" command (or right click the program and go to Run as..." - you can't handle this in your application AFAIK if you are talking about launching an external application within your application using Process.Start(), then yes it can be done by giving the Process the user credentials/account details to run under.

• Gadgets How do I make this gadget?

  So, I want to make a directions sidebar gadget. So it would be 2 fields, start address, end address. Then a button, get directions. It would open Mapquest in a separate window. Help, please PS, This would be my first gadget. I have the real release of Windows Vista, if that matters.   nikog wrote:  Maybe there already is gadget like that http://microsoftgadgets.com/Tags/maps   You really should look at Windows Live Gallery rather than MicrosoftGadgets.com, as the latter has been deprecated.  I only see one gadget on Gallery that has anything to do with directions , and that's a Web Gadget rather than a Sidebar gadget.  That said, even if someone else has alrea ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Viz rebuilding unnecessarily?

  Ever since I moved to C# express 2005 for XNA, every project in my solution gets rebuilt every time I build, even if nothing has changed. If I build and then immediately build again without changing anything, it still rebuilds the entire project. Why is this happening, and how do I stop it If it's of any significance, this project was migrated from Visual Studio 2003. Before the conversion it was fine. I'm not seeing that at all. I get "<...> is already up to date" messages. Have you checked the time stamps of your files Could they have a later stamp than your system clock Perhaps it is a particular file type Does it happen with new projects such as a new starter project ...Show All
