• Visual Studio Express Editions C# setup

  hi, I made a program in C# and I would like to distribuate it to friends into an setup.exe file. I could find a program already who could make this setup.exe for me by clicking the right things in the wizard.

Can somebody help me by giving me a free program who can create my C# project into a setup.exe file but so others can use it to without having to install C#. (I only have the free version of C#, so I can't do it directly using a setup project) Many thanks! the program will not install anything - your program is just a program, no ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. persistent backbuffer OR renderTarget (on 360) possible?

  I want to disable backbuffer clear. Though I have removed the Clear from my draw func it still gets cleared to black on Xbox360. Run the same thing on PC and the mystery clear doesn't happen (stuff I'm drawing correctly smears across the screen). I also tried to workaround w/ ResolveBackBuffer to a texture and draw this back at the beginning of each frame but thats not working for me either. In this case my Draw() looks like: Draw Backing Texture using Quad Draw new items ResolveBackBuffer -> Backing Texture I even tried double buffering the backing texture w/ no luck. Thirdly, I tried RenderTargets, but they also seemed to be getting cleared each frame as well! I would think there's gotta be a way for rendertarget contents ...Show All
