• Visual Studio Express Editions Is there a way to determine the color of a point?

  Well, the title pretty much outlines my querry. Is there a way to find the color of a given point, if the point is known I've written a code to randomly draw a "land mass" (a polygon that's flat on 3 sides and randomly "mountainous" on the upper side) for a simple game that I'm creating. I've filled in this polygon as green. When I made a very similar game in QBasic, there was a function for determining a pixel's color. I used it to "find" where the land was, when the trajectory of a shot hit it. This way, I knew that I had hit land when the pixel that was going to get the trajectory drawn ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Three examples I'd like to see from the Avalon ATC team

  I couldn't find a way to contact the Avalon ATC team, so I figured I'd do it here. Here are two samples I'd like them to show: Fixed Percentage Width ListView: We define columns with a percentage width. The columns cannot be resized. Whenever the window is resized, the columns resize based on the percentage of the entire ListView they take up. Variable Width Fixed Total ListView: Columns are defined by normal widths. However, the last column auto sizes to the end of the ListView. Resizing any column bigger resizes the column next to it smaller. Therefore, the total width of all the columns is always the exact amount of space the Lis ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Projects vs. Source Control

  The company I work for has a structured file system for VSS6.0. We want to keep the same system for the source code, but would like to utilize Team Foundation Server and Team Projects. Do Team Projects need to be associated in the same way as source code or are they independent of the code For example, my Explorer tree looks like this: Classes MyClass HisClass WebApps WebApp_A WebApp_B Each sub-directory is a solution which could contain multiple code projects. My Team Project would consist of WebApp_A and MyClass. Is this possible If so, does it only make a reference to the directories or does it create a new dire ...Show All
