• .NET Development Send directly to MAC address over Ethernet

  I Need to connect to some hardware device (a lab instrument), which is connected via Ethernet to the PC and which has an unknown IP address or no IP address at all. This situation may occur, if the system is started up the first time and no DHCP server is on LAN. I thought it would be a good idea to implement some communication with ARP protocol, but I couldn’t find any .NET class helping me. I found a system DLL (iphlpapi.dll) which gets the MA ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Performance problem with Texture.FromBitmap

  I reduced program boot time (when running from within the IDE) from 12 seconds to less than 1 second by re-writing Texture.FromBitmap using unsafe code.  For me it was easy because I'm only using 32 bit textures and 32 bit bitmaps.  It would be nice to see this function optimized in future releases of the SDK.  BTW, Texture.FromStream has the same problem. -Jeremy FYI: I use the above code for Te ...Show All
