• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectShow

  I notice that managed DX no longer supports the audiovideoplayback namespace.  Is it correct that DirectShow has been dropped altogether If so, how do we now write code to interface with video capture devices, etc     DirectShow has not been dropped in a sense, it has been moved to the Platform SDK, there is also now a forum here that can be used to talk about issues releated to directshow. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Language Service and IVsEditorFactory?

  Does a Language Service only use the core editor Or can we create our own IVsEditorFactory impl to use in conjunction with the Language Service's colorizer, etc. Do you just want to create your own colorizer   If so, are you using the Managed Package Framework   If so, it should be easy to implement your own colorizer. If you can give me a better idea of what you are trying to do, I can suggest something. Thanks, Dylan ...Show All

• Visual Studio Addins and Macros missing from VS2005 after Visual Studio 2005 SDK install

  I installed the latest (RTM) bits of VS2005 and then installed the Visual Studio 2005 SDK. Since that time (I think) no matter what AddIn I install or create it only shows up in the Experimental environment, never in the 'normal' one. Macros also started behaving strangely: the 'samples' macro project is missing from the 'normal' environment but is present in the Experimental one. I fixed this by exporting and then importing the appropriate registry key, but I assume that it will not work for future projects. I also have all of the appropriate directories for Macros and Addins on my current system: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsof ...Show All

• Visual Studio Deleting files is unreliable

  hi. (this is vss from vs2005 beta 2). when a file is deleted from a project by one user - why is source safe offering other developers that do a 'get latest version' later to restore that file why is it asking a question at all is this something that will go away in a later release it is also asking strange questions when a file was moved or renamed i think this is very unreliable - a second developer can easily undo the work of another developer, simply by answering the questions in the wrong way.  is this by design why WM_QUERY thomas woelfer http://www.die.de/blog Hi Thomas, I don't understand how ...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
