• Visual C# ?? What Does 'Strongly Typed' xxx Mean ???

  Hi again everyone, I'm sorry for two questions in one day but this has been on my mind for a long time. I understand what it means for C# to be a strongly typed language but I often read about one object or another being strongly typed. A good example is the documentation for System.Windows.Forms.Binding, which refers to: A strongly typed IList of strongly typed objects I have also heard this term ( strongly typed ) when referri ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Really curious behaviour

   Hi, I am using Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 and Managed DirectX from the August 2005 SDK. My Program does behave very differently on different computers.

• .NET Development .NET based - operative system

  I heard somewhere that the new version of Windows was supposed to be based on the .NET framework, but due to timing issues, it will not be like that.  I was watching the "command window" in VS.NET 2003, that has even autocomplete, and I was wondering if anyone has ever thought of making a console operative system running on top of the .NET framework... This might not be a forum post... rather than a blog idea, but I still need to share th ...Show All

  Hi, We are currently using Mercury QTP 8.2. And our application is a .NET based application. So I wanted to know if you guys have any plans of integrating QTP with VSTS so that we don't have to switch the scripts from QTP to VSTS. Thanks, Amit.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is DirectX good enough for creating modeling tools?

  this may seem a silly question. yet all the modeling tools i see on the commercial market and free tools use opengl. is this choice due to opengl having the ability to be used on no windows OS or is directx not upto the task I suspect you are correct about the modelling tools preferring to go cross platform. Other than the cross platform issue there is no reason why D3D could not be used for modeelling tools ...Show All
