• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How does hardware fail? Silently?

  A basic test pixel shader outputs solid red, but when rendering in hardware the color of the model is solid white. I use ps_1_1 for this and have no errors except the wrong color. I thought the compiler would complain if it could not implament the shader on the currently selected graphics card, and not simply skip the shader step. If this wrong The only error is that the pixelshader is aparently not run. instead every pixel defaults to white. The models I render are as they should be. just wrong color. Perhaps my problem sounds familiar In advance thanks for any help I can get. My card is an ancient Geforce 2 mx 400 I create my device like ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Plug in for SQL server manager studio

  I would like to use Team foundation as the source control in SQL server manager studio. Team foundation, however, does not appear in the drop downbox for selecting a source control plug-in. (I installed the client tools for SQL server 2005 after I installed Team foundation.) The TFS source control integration in VS 2005 is not available in SQL Server Management Studio.  We are working on a MSSCCI plugin for compatible environments outside of VS 2005, and we hope to provide a pre-release drop soon.  I'll ask whether it will work with SQL Server Management Studio.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) sql table mapping per object instance?

  Hi, I have thousands of tables which have identical column definitions, each table varies by name, and each table is dynamically added. At any given time, it is unknown what the table count is. What is known is the structure of each table and the name of all tables. Is there a DLinq solution to this scenario I can only see setting the Name property of the TableAttribute for the mapped class at runtime. But, of course, the attribute allows a single sql table mapping per class. What is needed is a sql table mapping per instance. Cheers, Rana Rana, Thanks for that eye-opener  You may b ...Show All

• Windows Forms SplitContainer Splitter Gets Focus Rectangle?

  Hello, I'm developing a Windows Forms application using tjhe VS .NET 2005 July CTP bits. What a tremendous piece of software! Miles ahead of previous versions. One thing I'm noticing is that the new SplitContainer control gets a "Focus Rectangle" during moving that persists even after the resize is complete. I believe that this is a bug, since I've seen no other application ever with a focus rectangle on the splitter... Can anyone comment Is this normal UI behavior, and/or is it an open bug Thank you, --Mike It has been resolved, and code for a workaround has been attached.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Want to learn game programming

  Hello, I am currently an intermediate visual basic .net programmer. I would like to learn how to make some games. I have also downloaded a directX SDK but I have no idea where to start. Also i seen that most games are made with C languages so i was going to learn one but not sure which to learn first(C/C++/C#) Any help and some tutorials are something to get me started would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Korab I think since you are a vb.net programmer you could start programming games in vb.net with managed Directx. This way you get familiar with the whole 3d concept, when you know your way around you can look further. The DirectX SD ...Show All
