• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Packaging a DirectX Game

  Hi, I've recently started programming using DirectX and C#. I created a game and it runs fine on my development machine (.Net 1.1,  DX SDK). But when I compile the game for a release, and move it onto a machine that only has the DirectX runtimes, it fails to find any of the neccessary libraries and will not start. I've tried telling to to "include resources" when it compiles, in which case it copies a bunch of .dll's to the release directory, but that still wont work on regular machines. It works fine on any machine that has the SDK installed. The regular machines are all running Dx9.0c and .Net 1.1. Any idea how to package a release ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't instrument DLL because of 3rd party library w/o debug symbols.

  I'm trying to instrument a DLL for performance profiling, but the instrumentation process fails with messages as shown below. Since the messages refer to code in a third-party library, I'm not able to provide debug information, and I'm also not particularly interested in profiling that code anyway. Is there a way to exclude that code from instrumentation so that I can work with the rest of the DLL Do I have to exclude each individual function exported from the library with the vsinstr /exclude switch or something Thanks, Eric Warning VSP2005 : Internal Instrumentation Error: The object '\dev\client\code\cpp\ThirdParty\lib\hook.lib(H ...Show All

• Visual Studio Consuming MSSCCI plugin - calling SccInitialize

  Hi I'm trying to write an editor (in C#) that would be able to connect to source control using MSSCCI, much like Visual Studio does. I've started by importing SccInitialize method from the VSS plugin C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe\ssscc.dll. I can call SccGetVersion() and it works fine, but when I call SccInitialize, it returns -15 ( #define SCC_E_NONSPECIFICERROR -15). SccInitialize populates and returns lpSccName (puts "Source Safe" there) and lpAuxPathLabel (puts "Source Safe Database" there). Is there anything special I have to do to consume VSS plugin from my custom code Is there ...Show All
