• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Targeting older machines

  Hi there. I guess part of this is more of an opinion question. I want to target older machines that may not have up-to-date graphics cards. Right now I am using a game engine that gives the developer the option of using DX8, DX9, or its own software driver. To compile the engine, I naturally need the DirectX SDK. Problem being that the latest realeases don't have DX8 support. So the question becomes: Is DX9 a 'safe' way to go for older machines (in which case I will just pitch the DX8 stuff in the engine) Or should I try and grab an older version of the SDK that includes DX8 support Thanks. ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Yahoo API

  I would recommend everyone here to also take a look at the Yahoo API.  It is far superior to the MSN API.  You can find it at http://developer.yahoo.net/ First, they actually provide all the searching capability that MSN provides, plus extra functionality like image search.  Second, they have great language support.  Third, they have integration with other sites like Flickr.  Fourth, they are very responsive to bug reports, ideas and even have a great API blog that's very active with their improvements, apps being built, etc. Microsoft has simply dropped the ball with this API.  They delivered a product late ...Show All

• Visual Studio Outline Pen Width

  Hey Guys, I have a quick question: How can I change the pen width for the outline of a shape Thanks in advance Pablo Hi Pablo, It works the same for all of the shape types. In the current bits, you'll need to write some custom code to change the pen width. To do so, you need to override the InitializeResources method for the shape classes that you want to change. And then, use code like the one below: public partial class ExampleShape { protected override void InitializeResources( StyleSet classStyleSet) { base .InitializeResources(classStyleSet); PenSetting ...Show All
