• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Managed DirectX for .NET 2.0 Documentation

  Is there any decent documentation out there for Managed DirectX for .NET 2.0 I'm using the latest beta of it from the December 2005 DirectX SDK, but all of the documentation and examples are targeted for the older Managed DirectX for .NET 1.1. I've run into some inexplicable problems and am not sure where to turn. MDX2.0 is sufficiently different enough from MDX1.1 such that the old docs and samples don't help much. (i.e., DSoundHelper ...Show All

• .NET Development Strongly typed datasets and Annotations to handle database nulls.

  I am using strongly typed datasets in a project and need to handle database nulls that are not string type. I see that the DataSet designer allows for setting null defaults for string based fields but that for all other types the only behavior provided is to throw an exception. It looks like adding Annotations to the xsd schema for the dataset may allow for handling other types of data: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/li ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView - need event to capture row delete

  Using the DataGridView in VS2005 Windows Forms, I need a way to capture the event when a record is deleted.  I see the "User Deleted Record" event which fires when the user highlights a row and presses DEL key, but that does not capture when the record is deleted by code--i.e. the user clicked a button to delete the current row. I have a User Control for the Add, Save, and Delete buttons for a grid so I cannot intercept that code to pr ...Show All
