• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. the view matrix

  should i treat the view matrix as any other matrix say i want the viewer to take a tour along my scene. Can I transform the view matrix as i would in the world matrix are there any "special" methods for it e.g. device.Transform.view.lookAt(somePoint) If you repeatedly apply transformations to the view matrix (or any matrix for that matter) you will end up introducing error that can grow to the point where it causes problems. The easiest thing is to just recreate the View matrix whenever you want to move it. You can use Matrix.LookAtLH or something similar. ...Show All

• Visual C# reading/editing html file

  Hello, I am trying to read in an html file, and replace a custom tag with a string that will be generated from the application. I am guessing the way to do this has changed with .NET 2.0, as the books I have refer to FileInfo objects that are not being accepted by Visual C# Express. I would appreciate it if somebody could provide me with some sample code, or point me to some references on the web. Thank you Jon, Thank you for your reply. Everything works great. Thank you very much for your help, and for explaning "why" I should be doing it as you stated. It helped to make sense of everything. Thanks, Adam ...Show All

  I have a VB.NET 2003 WinForms application that contains a browser control to render reports within.

• SQL Server Unhandled Exception in Management Studio

  At work we run a large SQL Server 2000 database that is usually administered using Enterprise Manager. I recently started playing around with SQL Server 2005 Management Studio and have been encountering an interesting problem. Whenever I browse tables/views in the Summary window, and then select a table/view (by hitting enter or double clicking) Management Studio encounteres an unhandled exception (below). Oddly, this behaviour only occurs when the Summary window is in "Details" view. When in "List" view it works without any problems. Also, I don't encounter this behaviour with all the tables/views - Management Studio can access some without ...Show All

• SQL Server Calling Visual Foxpro 7 COM

  Dear Experts, We are creating instances of COM Objects written in Visual FoxPro 7 in our SQL Server 2005 stored procedures. The problem is that VFP Automation Manager which shows number of connections to number of objects is showing 3 connections to 3 objects(instead 1 to 1). We are releasing the object in SQL Server 2005 using the sp_OADestroy @Object but the Automation Manager leaves 1 connection to 1 object. The Automation manager connection doesn't release all the connections. What effects is this having to our SQL Server 2005 installation and how can we avoid it We noticed that when we stop the SQL Service, connections t ...Show All

• Visual Basic taskbar group icon

  Really didn't know which forum to post this in... but... I'm using Visual Studio .Net 2003 and the app is in VB.NET. I have Icons for each form, but when XP groups them the group Icon is that 'plain-jane' one. Is there a way (if so where) to specify the group icon Windows XP will use Thanks for any help! You should probably change your Project's icon. Right click your project in the solution explorer and hit properties, and on the Application tab you see a dropdown list with "Icon:" above it. That should get you on your way :) EDIT: Oh. I forgot you were using VS2003 not VS2005. I don't kno ...Show All
