• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Updating Your MechCommander2.proj

  The MechCommander2.proj file included as part of the March 2006 CTP release is missing an item group which, although the build script executes successfully, causes the game to appear without textures, and forces you to exit because of missing data. This issue affects only the MechCommander2.proj file, that is, the XML file that is used with MSBuild.

• Smart Device Development Today Screen Bottom Row Options (Notification, Contacts)??

  Hello Again, I was wondering if someone new where/how to change the options which appear in the bottom left and right of the Today screen.  I notice on the VS Studio 2005 Beta version of the DE, the options are "Notifications" and "Contacts".  On the DE 1.0 Preview Edition, there is one option, on the bottom left, "New".  In DE 1.0, the "New" option appears to be configurable in the Settings-Personal-Menus option, however, the VS Studion 2005 Beta DE lacks the "New" configuration option.  Are these items configurable in the VS 2005 Beta DE   Thanks very much!      ...Show All
