• Windows Forms AppUpdater and Non-Admin Users...

  Sometimes I wish I could upgrade to 2005.  I asked this question in the ClickOnce area, but realised it doesn't really belong there, so I'm asking here.

• Visual Studio Team System Denied. Moving TFS to a new server doesn't work

  After following the arduous and kludgy procedure for moving my TFS server to a new machine, I'm faced with a totally broken system. OK, that's not entirely true, but it might just as well be.  The new server seems to be running fine.  A Team Client installed on the new ATDT machine can connect to and interact with the new team server just fine.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Animating a leg

  hi all, I'm trying to create a simple animation of a leg. The leg would be made out of two parts and each part would be a mesh (could be just Mesh.Cylinder). I know how this should work in principle but when I have to calculate the matrices all goes wrong... Here's my idea: Given the angles of rotation for both parts rotate and position the upper part (which will maybe be someday connected to a torso) then rotate the lower part and c ...Show All
