• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to Debug Shaders in C#/VS2005

  I was wondering if you were able to successfully debug the HLSL code using C# I have tried everything including setting the hardware type of the device to Reference, setting the debug flag on the effect to Debug, setting the DirectX options to use the Debug version and Enable Shader Debugging. I click the Debub/Direct3D/Start debuggin with ... but nothing seems to happen. If I set a break point in the HLSL code, when I run (yes, in debug mode) it shows a little warning that says "This break point will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document." Do you know how to solve this Thanks ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Mouse Hit Testing when primatives used not meshes

  I did search the existing threads and have read them - those that I can understand - but they do not seem to apply - at least with my limited understanding. I have a "2D" card game started in DirectX3D using managed C#. I read Tom Miller's book as the basis and starting point. I have several "playing" cards rendered as CustomVertex.PositionedNormalTextured that I add to a VertexBuffer. I draw them with the DrawPrimatives call. The are all "flat" (have the same Z axis) so that should help, and there is nothing "behind" them. Simply non-overlapping cards arrange on the screen. Everything works g ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Events not reaching Workflow...

  Very likely I am not doing it right but cant see the obvious. I used the "Communicating with the host application" lab exercise document as the base with some changes, I have host app (implemented as windows service) that, based on config, loads a couple of assemblies implementing certain local services. The app first registers an instance of ExternalDataExchangeService with the WF runtime which it then passes to the assemblies implementing local services. The assemblies then register instances of their respective local services with the external data exchange service. These satelite assemblies also expose remoting i/f w ...Show All

• Visual Basic Type conversion errors.

  Hiya, I made a program in Visual studio 2005.  Compiles and works OK at home. At work, i have JUST VB 2005 Express Beta 2 installed. The code itself ported OK, no errors. However, during runtime, i get a type conversion error. It's not that i'm converting anything though either. I can't convert string to single.  For example... Dim sngSingle as Single sngSingle = "0.5"  ' Doesn't work sngSingle = cSng("0.5") Doesn't work. sngSingle = CType("0.5",Single) Doesn't work. sngSingle = Single.Parse("0.5")  Doesn't work.

• SQL Server Licensing question, and other report building tools

  When you buy CALs for Sql 2005, are you getting license to use developer tools with each CAL In other words, is SSBIDS part of the package. Not everyone in our organization would use it, but I don't want to buy Visual Studio 2005 licenses just because we want to have a few more developing reports. Report Builder is fine for adhoc but we want a team of designers working with BIDS. Is anyone using other builders like Cizer Does not seem to be a very big selection out there. tia Also, keep in mind, unlike RS 2000 you do not have to purchase VS. If you have VS 2005 then the designer will integrate with it ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom Control With SelectedValue Property - How to determine correct "default" data type to return?

  I have a custom control that has a SelectedValue property.  It is basically a ComboBox control, if that helps.  Anyway, I have a business object that I'm binding to this control.  In some cases, the business object property that I'm binding to the control is a System.GUID, in other cases, it is a System.Int32 or System.String.  My delimea is that if the custom control's internal _selectedValue member is Nothing, because the user never selected a value or the selection was cleared, I want to return a valid data type to my custom business object. So if I'm binding to a property on my business object that is a System.GUID an ...Show All
