• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Suggestion: DockPanel attribute that tells it what to do if not enough space

  I would find it useful if DockPanel had an attribute (or perhaps even a set of four attributes, one for each edge ) telling it how to lay out if it doesn't have enough room. Specifically, my DockPanel only has elements docked to the bottom, not to any other edge or to the center. If it doesn't have enough vertical height, I want it to prefer to show the bottommost elements, not the topmost ones. Here's how it looks when there is enough roo ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Interactive Audio Variation / Transition auditioning?

  I've made a simple XACT project containing one cue that has 4 variations. I set up transition parameters, and was hoping to audition the transitions in action. I can connect to the audio console app and get events to play, but I don't see any variable slider to control which variation is playing. Actually, I'm not even sure if I set up the cue correctly for this. My second question would be: are there any example XACT projects that fe ...Show All
