• Windows Forms ClickOnce localization

  Hi, I have built a globalized application in .net 1.1 and created an msi file to install it. The application detects at runtime the CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name and loads the correct localised assemblies. I have then upgraded the application to .net 2.0 and i have decided to use clickonce instead of the msi file. Everything works fine a part from always using the default resource files and not the ones appropriate to my machine CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name. I have tried changing the language option in the project publish properties, but still when I install the application it is using the default resource files. I have even grouped the ...Show All

• Visual C# Why couldn't find ConfigurationManager?

  Hi there, In VS 2003 Windows applicaton, I used configuratuion/AppSetting to get configuration parameters. This method is depreciated in VS 2005 and we are recommended to use ConfigurationManager. But VS 2005 intellisense could find it. I already include the System.Configuration namespace. But seems like it is not in the namespace. Do you have any experience and what do I need to do to use ConfigurationManager thanks, Kai This one had me beat as well. configurationmanager is in a new dll, you need to add a reference to it before you can see it. I'm not sure what the .NET library you need to ref ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) my pet project: AnimationBehaviors

  I’ve been working on a project in my spare time called “AnimationBehaviors”. Now that I’ve got it working reasonably well I’d like to share it with the world. The animation system in WPF is really powerful, however it’s not always easy to create certain effects in XAML without falling down to code. Even when code is not required, it’s not always easy to create reusable animation effects. Enter AnimationBehaviors. AnimationBehaviors is a library that makes it easy to add common animations to elements in XAML with little effort. By utilizing attached properties I’ve created a system where adding (sometimes) complicated animations becomes ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. PS_3_0 Error

  Can someone interpret this error for me ps_3_0 shader can only be used with vs_3_0+ shader (SWVP or HWVP), or Transformed vertices. I wrote a pixel shader but no vertex shader because I never needed to in the past (ps_2_0 etc) Thanks I'm pretty sure it means you have to use a vs_3_0 shader to feed data into a ps_3_0 shader (or bypass all transformation and use transformed vertices ( POSITIONT or D3DFVF_XYZRHW ). More specifically a vs_1_x or vs_2_x shader cannot be combined with a ps_3_0 shader. ps_3_0 has additional requirements (e.g. full 32bit precision) that makes it incompatable with the outpu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Book Recommendation to Learn C#
