• Windows Forms How to load XML objects into custom .Net classes?

  Hi all, Hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. I'm writing a VB.Net 2.0 WinForms admin app to allow users to do maintenance on an Oracle database behind another very large app. To keep the size of the admin app down and to avoid a maintenance nightmare when the tables (about 70 of them) change I am trying to write it so it's totally automated. I already have code to read the schema of each table to get the columns and then I have a form that adds an appropriate custom control for each table column. This works very well but I need it to be advanced enough to hide some columns, make sure others are entered, validate some others, etc, etc. So my idea is to have an XML file (see XML below) containing the tables and colum ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 3D Playing Cards ?

  How would I approach a 3D representation of a playing card(s) If using a model, would 52 different models be required so that each card has it's own texture Can user primitives (i.e. 2 triangles to make a card shape) have different textures on each side What would be the best method for this I don't think this answered the question asked. The question is would you have 52 models that include texture definitions, or would you "skin" the model with a different face texture based on its value and store the textures separately associating them programmatically with the card at run time I'm interested in opinions on this as well, it may be easier programmatically to create 52 separate models i ...Show All

To make the code sample short, I deleted the things that make pathdirs change of value. Don’t worry about it, I went over the ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Custom/Preconfigured StateActivity

(The state represents a page in a workflow driven wizard-like dialogue. The EventActivites are BackButtonClicked, NextButtonClicked and CancelClicked. I realy do not want the user to have to assemble all nessesary activities for each page on its own.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Tier 2 GFX-card displayed as Tier 0

  I have a 9800pro(128mb) gfx-card wich, according to http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms742196.aspx , should be a Tier 2 card. However, if i run a program and check the RenderCapability .Tier value, it says Tier 0. The strange thing is that if i run perforator, it says 0 software renderers. According to the link above there should ONLY be software rendering if you got a tier 0-card (wich i realy don't have, but the Tier-property says so). I've had alot of performance issues, specially with mediaelement and bitmapeffects and i think it has something with the above problem to do. I have the latest drivers and DirectX-version.
