• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Dramatic memory leak in DrawText

  I've been banging my head against the wall for the last few days trying to track down the source of a rather big memory leak in my Direct3D-application. Turns out the culprit seems to be the DrawText function. Let me explain exactly what happens: I'm using a variable width truetype font (Times New Roman) created through D3DXCreateFont. I'm using this in various parts of my application, but the part where the problems are easiest to notice is ...Show All

• Windows Forms Simple lightweight portable database

  Hey all, I'm developing a win app that I am needing a simple data source to store a bunch of information for the app. The data is not very complicated and lends itself to XML really well. Only problem is that there are some nested complex types. I wanted to use a typed dataset that loads the data when the app loads, but I've tried this in the past with no luck. e.g., if you have a xml file that looks something like: <root> ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Snippet manager missing

  Anyone know where code snippet manager is hidden in the VS 2005 team suite edition (trial). It should be under tools but I can't see it anywhere under there. In some cases, the snippet manager mysteriously disappears from the menu bar. You can add the command back by going into Tools/Customize, Click on the Commands Tab, select the Tools Menu, and drag the Code Snippets Manager onto any commandbar that you like. Thanks, Ajay ...Show All

• Visual Basic Is this the best design approach for my new vb.net 2005 application?

  I am in the process of converting a vb 6 application to vb.net 2005.  My vb 6 application used quite a few user controls.  The main screen was broken up into 3 sections that had a treeview on the left, menus/toolbar across the top and then a main section in the middle.  As uses clicked items on the treeview, I would load the user control into the main section of the screen.  I found the user controls much easier to work ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Testing for Exceptions in Unit Tests

  I can't figure out how to test for an exception in a unit test.  Is there an Assert. comand or something else to test for an expected exception Thanks! Cindy Hello, I just saw this as well. Dhopton, you are correct in stating that you shouldn't throw a generic exception. But I think a lot of folks think that if you give throw with a new message string in the exception, that will make the exception diffe ...Show All

Alas, if you do that, you get: error CS0283: The type 'System.IntPtr' cannot be declared const I suppose I will just suppress the message, but it's mildly irksome that it shou ...Show All
