• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Billboards

  Hi, I’m trying to convert my particle system to XNA and need to know how to use billboards, in DirectX managed you could do something like: sprite.SetWorldViewLH(…); sprite.Begin(SpriteFlags.Billboard); sprite.Draw2D(…); sprite.End(); and that would draw the sprite in the specified 3D location facing the camera, I know the Matrix.CreateBillboard() Method exist and would like to know how to use it.

• .NET Development 64 bit remoting app searching for VJSharpCodeProvider

  We have a remoting app we are currently trying to port to 64 bit. It is written in C++/CLI.
