• Windows Forms Problem with showing form with small size.

  I have a problem with showing small form – I want the form to be in size (5,100) but when I’m trying to show it the form size is bigger then I want. My code: Form form = new Form(); form.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual; form.ShowInTaskbar = false; form.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None; form.Size = new Size(5, 100); form.MaximumSize = new Size(5, 100); form.Show(); // form.Size = new Size(5, 100); - works but with flicker I can change size after showing the form but then I have flicker.

• Visual C# timer on stack variable not always working

  Hi, I use a timer to reconnect a TCP client when it disconnects. When I create the timer on a stack variable and I open/close other forms in the project then the timer does not fire.

• Visual Studio Express Editions GridView with changed Header Text wont Update

  EDIT: see 2nd post for more up to date testing results. I'm having a few mildly frustrating issues with these components because finally they are usuable for me (2003 couldn't bind parameter values to controls), it's almost working except for one small niggling problem... I have setup an SQL database connection with my SqlDataSource and bound it to my FormView. I have manually verified that all 4 of my SQL statements exist. The formview displays the data in text boxes after clicking the provided "edit" LinkButton but when I click on Update, nothing happens. The data in my SQL database does not change. I know it is executing b ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Does DirectX have the OpenGL equivalent of Display lists?

  As the subjects asks, is there an equivalent  feature in DirectX Basically I want to just render about 200 spheres most of which will be the exact same copy of each other. Drawing each sphere independently of each each other gave quite poor performance in OpenGL until I used Display lists which enabled me to save a fixed set of drawing commands and just call the display list instead of redrawing the sphere each time. That gave a HUGE boost in speed. With 40% CPU usage I could easily render about 200 spheres at 60FPS in OpenGL. I want to  know if directX has a similar feature. I've searched a lot online and ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Animation controller question

  Hi, I have a specific question about the animation controller in d3dx9. I have used it to load an animated mesh from .x files for game purpose but have hit a few walls with regards to : animation blending. My experience was as follows: I called the animation name as exported from in .x file , lets say: "walk". and the controller did it perfectly but the animation would switch instantaneously as it should . I would be very interested so hear if anyone has managed to actually achieve the smooth animation blending and how and with which class/functions. Is it possible to do it with just d3dx9 and maybe i should look at middleware sof ...Show All
