• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. FixedTimeStep faster than Variable Time Step

  A question for those who know the inner workings of the XNA framework. Whe using FixedTimeStep, if a frame takes longer than 0.016666 ms (th frame time for 60 FPS), what happens is it left to finish it's task I ask this, because, in some condition (lots of details on the scree, and split screen, and post processing) my framerate, when not using FixedTimeStep goes to 15-14 FPS. But if I enable FixedTimeStep, in the same condition, the game runs smoother, no hiccups, everything runs as if it were 60 FPS. I understand that this is what FixedTimeStep is supposed to do: run the game at 60 FPS.... but HOW can it do it, if otherwise the game runs at 15   If you are using a fixed time step and us ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Bug where it becomes impossible to save your files

  Hi all, Has anybody encountered a bug where somehow XNA game studio express doesn't allow you to save your files I've encountered it once (and I forgot the message it popped up unfortunately), but I thought it was a one-off thing. Then a co-worker told me he got it quite regularly when starting and stopping programs. Just wondering if this is something that more people are experiencing. At the time I had two XGSE's open, one with my (saved) project, and one with a temporary spacewar project. Unfortunately when I was trying to repro this bug, I couldn't get it to do this again. My co-worker gets it when editing files while the program is running. Cheers, Nick Waanders This occurs in C# Express correct This ...Show All

• .NET Development How to Access Private Fields of Base Class through Reflection

  Hi , I want to get FieldInfo of private field of base class through passed object.How can i do that eg. I am using this : FieldInfo[] fields = objectInstance.GetType().GetFields(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public ); But it is returning only public data members of base class , how to get private data members of base class.

• SQL Server Moving data to and from SQL Server 2005, with manipulation in C#

  Hi I am wishing to * take a table of data into a C# CLR procedure and store it in an array * take a second table of data into this procedure row by row, and return a row (into a third table) for each row (and this returned row is based on the data in the array and the data in this row).

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is Winforms Going away?

  I see all the UI benefits to the WPF but does this mean the Winforms is eventually going to obsolete I am a die hard Microsoft fan, but if we have to keep rewriting our apps to keep up with the trend, I'm having second thoughts. I am now in the middle of developing a Large scale Winforms App that I have already worked on for almost 2 years in .NET. I am concerned that by the time I release it, I will need to rewrite it to take advanatae of the UI features of WPF. Is Microsoft going to keep upgrading the Winforms along with the WPF Thanks I suppose Windows Presentation Foundation is not NEW version of WinForms, it is just ANOTHER way of creating applications.
