• Visual Studio Express Editions XML as INI

  Hi! New to both VB an .NET I have searched the Internet for an easy-to-use example of how to store application/component property settings to a file. As I understand it the common INI-files are not longer supported (in a natural way) by .NET. It is no problem for me using XML instead, but I can not find an example of how to use XML for such purpose or every example I tried seems to be very tricky and circumstanstial.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX causing Floating Point arithmetic error!

  This thread started life here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=314743&SiteID=1 , until I found DirectX was causing the problem.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Why is a hidden VSTO document grabbing input focus?

  I use a number of command line tools to manipulate Word Documents with attached VSTO 2005 assemblies via COM Automation. I am having issues with these VSTO documents grabbing input focus, despite running in an invisible Word instance. Automating non-VSTO 2005 documents (i.e. VSTO 2003 docs or "regular" Word docs without any customization assemblies) do not exhibit the same issues. I am aware that the VS 2005 Debugger (xxx.vshost.exe ...Show All

• Visual C++ create C++ DLL to be used by C# ?

  I want to write a native C++ function that I can later access from C#. Please keep in mind I do not have much experience developing on windows, (mostly unix) and that my only windows compiler is VS2005. I tried creating a MFC DLL.
