• Visual C++ [setup-project] How to copy external Files (*.jpg)

  Hi ! My Application needs besides the executable file a huge amount of images (about 1500, 3 GB). Ok. Since these images change quiet often, I do not want to embed them into my setup project statically. What I would prefer is to make the installer copy a directory into the target directory. Something like "copy .\images\*.jpg [TARGET_DIR]\" where "." points to the location where setup.msi lies. How can this be realized BIG THANKS FOR YOUR HE ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Sprite Problem

  I'm trying to do some simple 2D graphics with DirectX 9.0 (April version), so the first step is to display bitmaps. I found a tutorial that applies a texture to a rectangular triangle fan (quad), and that works perfectly. However, when I try to display a bitmap with the ID3DXSprite object, it looks a little blurry, as if the bitmap is offset from the screen coordinates by some fraction. When using the texture-quad method, apparently you must ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) nullable Duration.TimeStamp?

  Why does Duration have a HasTimeStamp property instead of a nullable TimeStamp property Purely speculating here (I don't have access to docs...or at least I couldn't find any to confirm my assumptions). If the Timestamp property gets/sets a DateTime --> know that DateTime is a value type - not a reference type, and therefore is not nullable. Hope it helps... -Brandon -- Brandon Hamm ...Show All

• Windows Forms DefaultCellStyle lost on column sort

  Hi, after setting the DefaultCellStyle.BackColor property on a row in a DataGridView, and then sorting a column at runtime, it appears to lose the formatting. Is this the correct way to set the BackColor property of a row - if so, is there any way of getting round this problem This is by design. When you set styling for a row, it is for the row index, not for the data as the DataGridview doesn't have any kno ...Show All
