• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. colorvalue in progressive mesh sample

  Hi, new to DirectX in C#, not in C++. In the August 2005 DirectX sdk update, there is a sample in C# called "Progressive Mesh".  When I compile this sample, I get 36 errors, all of which are type or namespace missing errors.  Here's an example.  'ColorValue', which is supposed to be of the Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D namespace simple does not appear to be there.  MSDN says it's part of the namespace, auto-complete does not.  What is going on   I know this is probably a newb question, but hey, I'm a newb :) Yes, this appears to be a problem with updating Visual Studio 2005 References in general.

• Visual C# Forcing the Setup to RollBack()?

  With an Installer class, I am overriding the Install() function. I have read that throwing an InstallException() from within my Installer DLL code, will force the setup project install to fail and cause setup to rollback. But this causes an ugly dialog to pop up and inform the user that an exception has been thrown. I am wondering if there is another (cleaner) way to cause the Install() to fail, and there for RollBack() Thanks folks. One easy option would be to reference System.Windows.Forms.dll in your service and if you do have a problem in your Install(), simply throw up a MessageBox (if desired (if not ...Show All

• Visual C++ VS .Net 2005, how to disable intellisense...
