• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) The long term goal of Cider vs.XAML

  Is the long term goal of Cider to replace direct XAML editing Or is XAML too rich to be fully expressed by Cider Steve My understanding is that XAML (& WinFX) will be stable and in production when Vista ships - WinFX RTMs with Vista. Thus the XAML (and WPF applications) will be release quality. It is just the tool (Cider) that will be a pre-release. Hope this helps mark ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Installing DirectX SDK

  Hello.I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.I downloaded the DirectX SDK from December and I have installed on my computer but I cannot build DirectX Aplication.Why I use VB. The 2nd question: "VC# is better for DirectX applications " You will need to give us more information than that. What are you trying to do (step by step) and what errors are you getting. C# and VB are just as good as each other for DirectX applications apart from 2 things: 1. There are far more samples and tutorials in C# than in VB - if you can read C# well this won't bother you 2. C# allows unsafe co ...Show All

• Visual Studio /Setup and GetOrig 8.0 Exp not behaving as expected

  I'm trying to work with commands, making changes to the CTC file and then pressing F5 to launch the test IDE to see the changes. I've been using the walkthrough "Creating a Top Level Menu" as a guide. But any changes I make are not reflected. For example, I started by just trying to get the sample to run. It worked following the walkthrough. All seemed fine. Then I wanted to see how easy it was to make changes and see them reflected in the test IDE. So in the CTC file I changed "&My Test Menu" to "&My Menu", recompiled, and then pressed F5 to relaunch the test IDE. The top level menu still read "My Test Menu". So I ran devenv /r ...Show All

• .NET Development Multi-threading with UdpClient

  Hi there, I am trying to implement a simple board grame which use UdpClient to play over a network. My problem is that the game requires all the network connection and traffic to be done in a separate thread. My approach is to use a main thread to do all the user interface and game logic and use another thread to do all the network related logic. However, I run into problem when I have to pass the status of the board from the main thread to the network thread and vice versa, since I don't know how to pass data from one thread to another thread. Because I don't have much experience with multi-threading application, I am not even sure my a ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2005 Integration with MSBuild

  Let me ask the question and then provide some background... How much can we customize an initially VS 2005 generated .csproj msbuild project file without "breaking" the VS 2005 <-> MSBuild integration Background... Forgive me if this this overly general question has been answered elsewhere, but I didn't see anything.  I have just recently begun investigations related to migrating our existing NAnt build scripts to MSBuild for when we move to .NET 2.0.  In our current system, we ask developers to maintain the .csproj files and the nant build files.  However, only the nant build files are really important.  Our bu ...Show All

• Visual C++ "Correct" Workerthread Termination

  Hello, I have used worker threads for a long while and yet always had and still have problems with the "correct" way such threads should be killed for premature termination. They may have files open, are in the process of allocating global memory or doing any number of other things. The closest I got to "correct" is to signal the worker thread through it's priority if it's services are not required anymore for termination prior to it's full execution. Except the code then starts to look messy with CheckForKill()s all over the worker thread code. What is the "best correct" method to do this and yes, I am aw ...Show All
