• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. dxwebsetup wierdness - deployment with app

  Hi, sorry to post this in this forum, I am unsure where to post it. OK here is the thing. I have a deployment problem. I am creating a setup with my app, created in VS 2005 Pro, using C#(.NET 2.0)   This app of mine requires DirectX runtime end user files, or the SDK but really the runtime files. Now, during installation, I bundled in the dxwebsetup.exe. This executes fine.   2 main problems here already: 1) I want to silently install it without the need for user interaction, switch used to do this: /Q. When specifying this, it just seems to show then disappear instantly. I then find this next problem: ...Show All

• Visual Studio View.NavigateBackward and View.NavigateForward not working in addin

  I'm trying to execute the View.NavigateBackward and View.NavigateForward commands from my add-in. Here is where I call them: http://djss.dynalias.net/trac/SamTools/browser/trunk/SamTools/MouseActions.cs ( lines 74, 78 ) I have no problem with the Edit.ScrollPageDown and Edit.ScrollPageUp functions on lines 102 and 106, and I'm calling the navigate functions just the same way.

• .NET Development SoundPlayer class(es) - -Pause and extra functions

  I'd like to use the .NET SoundPlayer Class to implement a WAVE filesound player. I need to have Pause and Resume functions as well as an accurate count of samples played at any point in time. I am using Visual C++ .NET 2005 Express Edition. The standard .NET SoundPlayer Class does not have the extra functionality. I tried implementing my own using the Win32 WAVEFORM AUDIO INTERFACE functions (waveOutOpen, waveHeaderPrepare, WaveOutWrite etc.) and can get a player to almost function, except that it crashes when the sound stops. Are there any other Multi-media classes available in the .NET framework that give more expansive functionality ...Show All

• Windows Forms External component has thrown an exception

  Hi, I'm getting this error really sporadically in my Winforms app. Seems to happen when trying to display a form with a call to .ShowDialog().

I can close the application and restart it, then I can view the form without the error The application is running in a Citrix terminal server environment, the assemblies themselves are running from a network share. Can anyone think of what would be causing this error - why is it only happening every now & then (the worst sort of errors!). One post mentions a faulty network connection to blame, but our network ...Show All
