• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Direct3D View Matrix: porting problem from OpenGL

  Hi, I am porting an application from OpenGL to Direct3D. OpenGL does not have a View Matrix and a World Matrix as Direct3D, but just what is called the ModelView matrix. I have the following lines of code in OpenGL: Code: glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); //Work on the ModelView matrix glLoadIdentity(); //Clear everything glLoadMatrixd(myModelViewMatrix); //Load my ModelView matrix Now I would like to port this to Direct3D, and this is my suggestion on how to do it: 1.

  Should the outlining submenu be populated in Beta 2 Mine is empty when editing in VB. UGH! Regards, Al Flash the giant user error sign over the help desk. My fault Got it working fine.

• Windows Forms Treeview AfterCollapse help

  When viewing the VS 2005 Help on Treeview AfterCollapse event, the example given has nothing to do with the AfterCollapse event. instead, it looks like its an example for handling something to do with Checks. I wanted to find out which argument I can rely on to check the collapsed state of the node. Is it e.Nodes.SelectedNode Heres what I need to do: I need to modify the Node text in case it is collapsed. That is, I want to provide summary information of the child nodes only when the parent node hides its kids (collapses them). I think im still not clear: I want to make the node text of the top level node to be summary of its child ...Show All

• .NET Development MultiStream files

  Hi all. I have a "small" problem: I have noticed that if I am using FileStream to open a file that contains multiple streams, I am getting only the main stream of that file. Do you know if there is any possibility to read the whole file Thanks. Mircea I honestly don't know. I am not part of the product team (or Microsoft), but based on the information on MSDN Product Feedback (see my original reply), they are currently deciding if it is in the Visual Studio "Orcas" release or not. ...Show All

  Hi, I'm just starting to use SQL Server 2005 Reporting services, and need to use an XMLdocument as the datasource. I will get the xml data from a webservice and then need to bind it to the report.

• Software Development for Windows Vista TypeProvider in Designer Hosting SDK Sample and Lab 10

  Hello, I've noticed in both the Designer Hosting SDK sample (WorkflowDesignerRehosting) and in the Beta 2 Hands On Lab # 10 (DesignerHostingApplication) that there is use of the TypeProvider class. In the Designer Hosting SDK Sample, the TypeProvider class is used to add an assembly reference to the assembly containing the string type in the Workflow Design Surface's constructor. The service is added to the design surface's service container. The same thing is done in the WorkflowLoader class (that extends the work flow's designer loader), except the service is removed in Dispose(). In Lab 10, the WorkflowLoader (extends the workflo ...Show All
