• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Scaling (Shrinking) Sprite Chops Off Texture...

  I am using the October 2005 Release of DirectX 9.0. When attempting to Scale a Sprite I am running into some very odd behavior. When "growing" the Sprite the Texture stretches and maps fine. When "Shrinking" the Sprite the texture apparently does not shrink - and it gets cut off. I am setting the Transform properly on the Sprite, applying SpriteFlags.AlphaBlend to Sprite.Begin(), and using Sprite.Draw(). Is anyone else ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is compression built into a WCF service?

  In order to gain a signifant performance boost using .ASMX web services that utilize SOAP and text-based packets, a common strategy is to compress the data after it is serialized and then send it across the wire, whereby it is uncompressed, deserialized, and ready for use. My question is, does a WCF service do this for you, or is a hand-tooled compression algorithm still required to get that performance gain Thanks Kirk ...Show All
