• Visual C# Variable doesn't increment

  Hi, I'm creating a Tetris game in which I have an 'x' and a 'y' variable. At first they are set to 0. I use a timer to change the 'y' value to move the figure down. Here's the code: private void timer1_Tick( object sender, EventArgs e) { y++; Graphics grfx = this .CreateGraphics(); PaintEventArgs f = new PaintEventArgs (grfx, this .ClientRectangle); DrawFigure dr = new DrawFigure (f, x, y); grfx.Dispose(); if (y > 569) timer1.Stop(); } Yet, after each event, 'y' goes back down to 0, instead of incrementing. Why is this happening Check that this timer ...Show All

• .NET Development MySQL Connection Error.

  This is my scenario. I have one service, that connects to the sql server and gets some information. then it starts a console program, and that program also connects to the sql server but gets an error. 'ERROR [HYT00] [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10022)'. But, this only happens when the console program is started from the service. If i start the console directly it will work perfectly, no connection problem or what so ever. So i can't understand why it gets an error when the console program starts from the service and then tries to connect to sql server. Anyone who has some idea about what it can be ...Show All

• .NET Development TCP packet confirmation

  Anybody know how I can checks that my TCP/IP packet have been really received on the destination side and that is not standing in the buffer because of retries or bad connection Ronald You can't rely on TCP acks to tell you if the peer application has received your data. It simply isn't going to work reliably, and there are already too many unreliable network applications out there. Deal with the extra cost - it's a requirement of what you are looking to do. The only time you get to use a TCP event to synchronise application events is when you can get a good FIN-FIN exchange at closure of the TCP socket. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vertex Buffer Question

  I was wondering if it is possible to change the size of a vertex buffer after the buffer has been created The reason i ask is I am making some terrain that is made up of smaller grids but the number of vertices in the buffer need to change all the time because i do not want to always render all the vertices. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Instead of recreating a vertex buffer everytime you have different amounds of data, you should read up on dynamic vertex buffers. Just create a vertex buffer with one size, preferable the size of your best guess of the maximum number of vertices you'd have in the buffer at any one time. Fi ...Show All
