• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. D3DXComputeTangentFrame() question

• .NET Development Run a method in another thread

  Hi, I'm currently working on a network library that offers an XMPP stream to a server, written in C# (.NET 2.0).

• Visual Studio Team System Feature request: Right-click on a message -> "Turn off this rule"

  Currently, to turn off the rule that produced a particular message, I have to click on it, look down to see its RuleFile, find this rule group in "Rules" tree, expand it, find the rule and uncheck it.
