• Visual Basic Write Games

  Can you write real 3D games with Visual Basic Can you write real 3D games with Visual Basic Absolutely! In fact, two of the developers on the Visual Basic team wrote a very cool multi-player tank battle game towards the end of the VS2002 product cycle to test the product out, which used 3D graphics extensively. Add a reference to the DirectX type library or GDI+ (I humbly suggest the former :-)), and you’re all set to start coding in 3D. Good luck! --Matt Gertz--* VS Compiler Dev Lead ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce turtorial

  et al, I was wondering if anyone had a good link for someone to learn this through a 'walkthrough'. One that can show off the many features of this I've got this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/05/ClickOnce/ but it's old and some of the code doesn't work. I'm a VB guy, so if the turtorial is VB centric, that would help. But doesn't have to be. It looks like a technology that would solve a problem that I'm having. Thank You in advance. -Michael ...Show All

• SQL Server subform problem

  The question I have is a bit complicated but I'm hoping someone can help me out. I am using SQL Express as the back end database, connecting through MS Access and using VBA to do the code. I have created a project in Access and in it I have a form in which I created a subform. The subform has a stored procedure as it's record source, the problem is that in order to keep the data in the subform in sync with the data in the form the stored procedure needs a parameter to retrieve the correct data. How does one pass that parameter as well as the stored procedure on the record source setting I have been able to do combolist population, or d ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using data objects from database for holding Workflow/Activity-Properties

  Hello, we are building a end-userfriendly workflow engine (with own designer) (see http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=265499&SiteID=1 ) I have only on question (at the moment). Our activities have some properties, all workflows are derived from our own base workflow (with some properties, for example a workflow object which is sent through the whole workflow). The workflow object is used in IfElseActivities. It is a generic container for any structured data. The data is updated (on demand) by a own EAI layer. So we only want to serialize the object id to the xoml. the object itself is loaded from a da ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2005 Integration with MSBuild

  Let me ask the question and then provide some background... How much can we customize an initially VS 2005 generated .csproj msbuild project file without "breaking" the VS 2005 <-> MSBuild integration Background... Forgive me if this this overly general question has been answered elsewhere, but I didn't see anything.  I have just recently begun investigations related to migrating our existing NAnt build scripts to MSBuild for when we move to .NET 2.0.  In our current system, we ask developers to maintain the .csproj files and the nant build files.  However, only the nant build files are really important.  Our bu ...Show All
