• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Moveing a model with a mouse

  Hi, Im trying to move a model around in 3d space with the mouse, the plan is to have the model just move around on the x and y axsis with the mouse. After some research the best way seems to be to have the mouse intersect with a plane and where it intersects is where the model is moved to, my problem is that when i do this the model just flys off the screen. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be excellent... Code.... private void calculateMouseRay() { Point cursor = this.PointToClient(Cursor.Position); Vector3 near, far; if (cursor.X < 0) cursor.X = pictureBox1.Width; //t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Stop on first failure in .sln file?

  How do you run MSBuild on a SLN file and request that it stop on the first failure   I don't see a MSBuild command line switch for this. > in the next version I think everybody would like to make .sln natively > msbuild format (but plans are not clear yet) +10 - this seems like a no-brainer IMO.  It would also be nice to have VC++ project files as native MSBuild projects.  Thanks for the workaround! ...Show All

• Visual C# Elements in one Array (or Collection) But not in another

  I apologize again for bringing up perl in context of C# but... In perl if I have two arrays and want to know what elements are in one but not the other I could do the following (assume @a & @b are already populated): my %seen // lookup table (hash) my @aonly //answer //Build lookup table @seen{@b} = (); foreach $item (@a) {    push (@aonly, $item) unless exists $seen{$item}; } Another way that might make more sense: %seen //Lookup table to test membership of B @aonly //answer //Build lookup table foreach $item (@b) {$seen{$item} = 1} //Find only elements in @a and not in @b foreach $item (@a) {    unless ($s ...Show All

• Visual C# How to implement the "Check for update..." feature?

  I have a WinForm application which cannot be handled by ClickOnce technology because of the limitation of ClickOnce.  However, I would like to implement the "Check for update..." feature using the ClickOnce related technology(may be System.Deployment class ).  Anyone know that Thanks Some of the limitations that you mention are actually security features. The whole idea of ClickOnce is to enable Smart Client Applications to be deployed with minimal impact on the users system. ClickOnce is not meant for deploying web applications at all. Many of the limitations that you point out are capabilities that ActiveX controls to ...Show All
