• Windows Forms updating window in multithreaded app

  okay im making a mesh viewer for my engine in c#. Now my engine runs in a window, parented to a window in my c# application. My engine runs in its own thread started by my c# application. When i've finished rendering i tell opengl to swap buffers, which would normally display the contents to window, however in my c# appliation it does not update the window. How ever, if i put a call to my engine's render function in the windows paint method, it will be displayed, but only when i resize the window. Any ideas how to get the window updated each frame in my seperate engine thread edit: okay i made some progress, i now open a thread which in ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Creating a new texture fails with "first chance exception"

  I have an application in which I create a texture to later write directly into. It works fine on my development machine, but on the target machine it fails with A first chance exception of type "microsoft.directx.diretct3d.invalidcallexception" occured.

• Visual Studio Team System Can I disable Deployment?

  Deployment seems to be a great idea, and will go a long way in providing a robust testing environment. But in a TDD environment where developers are running tests very often it is not very practical. Not to mention the problems with Deployment Items (attributes do not work on the class, solution deployment options under Run Configuration settings have quit working for everyone in my department), and the fact that VS does not clean up after itself in the deployment root (over a few weeks of development these folders and files are beginning to take up a signigicant amount of space). It has become a *very* major headache for me and others that ...Show All

• Visual Studio What makes IntelliSense work or not?

  If I add a new cpp-sourcefile to my project, that is just supposed to provide simplification funcs and macros for some API tasks, IntelliSense no longer displays function declarations when I begin typing a function call. I've #included the same headers Visual Studio did in my main source file, so I assume this about the IntelliSense DB beeing built just for those source files VS itself created. How can I get Intellisense to help me accross all my source files Actually, the C++ team owns this feature area. Could you post a snippet of code or attach a small project that exhibits this behavior We have fixed nu ...Show All
