• Visual Basic Can VisualBasic send an SMS message?

  Can VisualBasic v8 (.NET 2005) send an SMS text message to a mobile phone# Mine's running on Windows server 2003. This would be ever so cool !!! Well, yes, Visual Basic can certainly be used to create a program that sends SMS text messages.... BUT... You need to talk to something that knows how to send SMS messages. This something can either be a mobile phone that is connected to your computer (exactly how you talk to the phone depends on the model and how it is connected), a publicly available server that lets you send SMS messages (the only ones that I've personally used were located in Sweden, and did not allow ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Raise Version-Number of Assemblies in TeamBuild

  I am searching for a TB-Task which will scan all files of each project and see if any change has been made more recently, than to the file where the Version-Attributes are stored (usually AssemblyInfo.cs). It should then checkout AssemblyInfo.cs, raise either Major, Minor, Build, Revision (depending on a configuration value) update modified file in SCC. Does such a task exist Is there a way to do something similary for C++ unmanaged projects I would also like to determine if there is a need to increment the version number of the DLL by detecting changes since the previous build.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Mesh size versus scaling

  OK, when creating a mesh (triangles) and defining my simple shape - a rectangle for example - what is the best approach on sizing. That is, should I make a big mesh so it is big when placed in the scene Or should I make the mesh small and then scale it or what ever during the scene One instance of this is putting up a "flat" background image into the scene to serve as the backdrop. I made a "large" mesh (-5, 4, 0 to 5, -4, 0) and then placed in in the scene. Of course the farther (Z axis) I needed to place it in the large the mesh needs to be. I can use scaling to then enlarge the mesh, but detemining the scale to use ...Show All
