• Visual Basic Adding Fonts to Combo Box (VB 2005)

  Hey guys, I'm pretty new at this so be gentle. I'm trying to find out how to add system fonts into a combo box. I'm using VB 2005. Thanks! The SelectedItem property returns an Object reference because the CDomboBox can contain pretty much anything. I'd guess that your issue is that you haven't cast it as a FontFamily object. The following code works for me. Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Using fonts As New Drawing.Text.InstalledFontCollection Me.ComboBox1.DataSource = fonts.Families Me.ComboBox1.DisplayMember = "Name" End ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to separate a complex Application?

  I'd like to create a WPF-Application. In a more complex application the .xaml-files tends grew very fast, so I like to separate components of the application in different files. Is it possible to include or to refer another component (e.g. Win1.xaml + Win1.xaml.cs) It's not the problem to include a 'StackPanel' or a 'Grid' via the ResourceDictonary. But when the gird contains buttons with click-action it doesn't work. Thanks for your comments! Well - as i said previously you need to break each one out into a "UserControl" object - which is in a separate file. You can then fire even ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Creating your own file formats?

  I'm wondering how to create a file format, for say, meshes. I've looked around on the net but I have not found anything telling how. Anyone know of articles/tutorials The .x file should be enough in the beginning. Generally graphics formats are defined by the editor they come from and there is example code to read the big ones (maya and 3dsmax). Otherwise export as .x and then read into your program http://www.wotsit.org/search.asp s=game  has a list of lots of them ...Show All

  Hi, I have Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express and do not see how I can enable the Import Data... feature which I have seen on the regular Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio version.

  In the RTM of TFS will we be able to delete past team builds from within the IDE or are will still limited to using tfsbuild delete from the command line Thanks Thank YOU SO MUCH Ling!  Works like a charm!  One question though.  I'm assuming that the build list must contain at least on listitem   I tried importing a new global list for the build list and the schema doesn't allow an <GLOBALLIST> item with no <LISTITEM> defined.  Also <LISTITEM value = ""> is not allowed either.  Is this possible or by design Thanks again! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions system hangs?

  A search for related questions, etc. turns up nothing useful. Some time after installing MS VB 2005 Express Edition, my system started freezing up, requiring a cold boot every few minutes. So I uninstalled using the recommended tool. My system recovered 100%: no more freezing. Then I reinstalled. For now, things seem to go all right. My question, before it is too late to ask: how can I as a user _document_ these system hang-ups I checked the Event Logs, found nothing suspicious. Are there any monitoring tools Thanks in advance for your answer. stefaan dot meeuws at gmail dot com I am havin ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Few beginner questions about shaders

  Hi! I've just started learning MDX and have few questions: 1. I've done simple N dot L lighting shader, but i'm not sure how should i pass light parameters to the shader. Now i just create ColorValue and Vector4 (direction) objects and pass them to the shader (using effect.setValue). Should i create Light object instead, set its parameters and then pass them to the shader Are there any advantages of creating Light object instead of creating each parameter separately If yes, then how to pass i.e. light.Direction if it's Vector3 and it can't be passed to effect.setValue method. 2. Is the performance impact really high if i'm passing p ...Show All
