• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem: Install Vista 5308 on Virtual PC?

  I need to install Vista on a Virtual PC to test installation and running of some current apps I've developed. When I try to install Vista, it boots from the DVD I provide but when I "Install Now (->)", I get an error dialog box: I'm having the same problem, although with a different error message. In my case, it keeps saying that it can't find an accessible hard disk to write temp installation files to. I searched Microsoft's site for any hint that Vista 5308 won't work on VPC, but couldn't find anything. However, I found this thread that has a procedure for a possible workaround. Try it, they say it works. http:/ ...Show All

• Visual C++ The debugger isn't displaying std::wstring values

  I have tried to use an std::set<std::wstring>, and the debugger appears to have a problem with displaying the values that are stored in the set (this also happens when using std::wstring as the key value in a map. Sample code: #include <set> #include <string> int main() { std::set<std::wstring> test; test.insert( L "1234567" ); // this is displaying correctly in the watch window test.insert( L "12345678" ); // this is displaying garbage in the watch window return 0; } This isn't a major problem, but makes it more difficult to use std::wstring. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. C++ or C# ??

  I've been programming professionally for 8 years - all web and business programming in ASP, ASP.NET, and Java. I have a very solid knowledge of OO application development but I'm simply not challenged. The apps are all the same - build database, put front end on database to present data, allow data to be edited/updated, allow data to be deleted. Wash-rinse-repeat. I've been a gamer since I was 8 and I still play games like mad (own a PSP, DS, Xbox, and XBox360). It seems to be the only thing that has really stuck with me (I know, pathetic for a 36 year old! ) and I feel like I need to modify my skillset and break into game programming. ...Show All
