• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. HLSL pixel shader: problem with tex coord computation/texture lookup

  I'm sitting on a strange problem for half a day now and can't figure out why things are happening as they happen. :) What I'm trying to do is to look up a texture with entries of size 3*3 texels each ( g_samCurvatureTex : this is a magnified part of it, the whole tex is repeated like this - I am only interested in the blue channel right now). At first I need to compute the centre index of the entry: #define CURV_TEX_ENTRIES 42 // p_TS.xy are texcoords in the range [0,1] that vary smoothly over the surface int xCM = (int)(p_TS.x * CURV_TEX_ENTRIES);   int yCM = (int)(p_TS.y * CURV_TEX_ENTRIES); xCM = xC ...Show All

• Visual C# Toolbox components

  I'm new to Visual Studio 2005 and to C#. I'm looking for a reference, preferably a book, that gives examples and describes the various components from the Toolbox. A little guidance and a nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. I'm not trying to be funny or offensive so please don't take it this way.

Also, be sure to register your Visual Studio, one of the benefits is a book that gives a walkthrough of VS2005. The express e ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem with HandleExternalEvent on a web service.

  Hi. I'm trying to make a workflow that has a Listen and a HandleExternalEvent activity to work through a web service, but I'm not being able of doing it... I can make it work fine on a Win32 app, but when I move it to the web service, I'm getting a problem. What I'm trying to do with this Since it is not posible suspending a workflow, and passing parameters to it when resumed, I thought I could use the EventArgument parameter on the HandleExternalEvent_Invoked activity to pass my custom data to the workflow when resuming it. Perhaps there's a different way, but here's my code (The problem is at the end of this post, when I invoke the event ...Show All

• .NET Development Setting Select Command Parameter Values at Design Time

  I am using VS 2005 and have created a new data source from a SQL Server 2005 stored procedure using the TableAdapter Configuration Wizard. The stored procedure has two parameters and I want to set a default value for these at design time. However, when I display the Parameters Collection Editor there is no Value property for me to set. Is there some way to provide a value for these parameters at design time so that I can preview data without having to enter values each time P.S. If you're wondering why I need to do this at design time, it's because I'm using a report designer from DevExpress that has a preview tab to display a print pr ...Show All
