• Visual C# Obtaining Static Duration

  In C++ static variables are initialized when the program starts. Is there any way of making variables in C# that do this I have written code in C++ that allows new classes to register themselves by including a static variable within the new class that calls a registering function. This trick allows new classes to be added to a program without any alterations to the rest of the code. I am now trying to achieve the same thing in C#.   This would have to be implemented via the CLR and would not be just a feature of C# itself. I would suggest you post a suggestion at the Microsoft Product Support Center ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. .X Export a simple Maya model

  I've made a model in Maya 6.5 that is a simple temple with a texture applied to it. I have the .X exporter installed however I can't get the mesh to show up correctly in the Mesh Viewer. The mesh shows up pitch black and I can't see any texture applied to it. Is there a way to export a simple textured model from Maya without using shaders and effect files I'm using the June 2005 SDK. Does the SDK exporter support MeshVertexColors I created a cube with a crate texture on each side. When I render the .x file either in the mesh viewer or my application, the cube is black. However, when I go in the .x file and ...Show All

• Visual C# DataColumnCollection

  Hello all, I am relatively new to C#, and I have a question about the class DataColumnCollection. How does one reference an indiviual column. It was my assumption that this would just be an array of DataColumns, but I have having problems with just pulling out one column. The only way I know how to do it now, is to do a foreach statement. For example, I want to reference DataColumnCollection(index).columnname, is that possible thank you! I will provide you a generalized answer so you can understand it when you need it later. Objects that represent themselves as arrays (such as collections) use subscrip ...Show All

• Visual Basic loading image into button

  hi, i have a button and i want my button to have a image when in runtime, but my image is located in my project Resources folder, what is the syntax to load the image from the Resources folder to my button button1.Image = image.FromFile(...) Assuming VB'05 here. Make sure your image is loaded as a resource in the project's properties under resources. It's possible to have it in the folder on the explorer view, but not have it attached to the project. Then set it to embedded under it's properties.  Then your reference goes something like this. button1.Image = My.Resources.ImageName ...Show All

• SQL Server Stupid Replication Q

  Hi, Here's the brief. I have DB_A on Server A, which I'm replicating to Server B. I then want to replicate tables from DB_A on Server B, out to DB_X on Server_B, but when I try and create the publication, the row is locked from selection, as it's obviously locked for replication from Server_A to Server_B. Does anyone know if there is anyway round this I ideally want Transactional Replication as our need is to have an identical copy for other calculations to be done and reporting purposes. (Server_A is on it's last legs, so we have Server_B to do all the calculations and host MSRS) Would we just be better off getting a bigger, more powe ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Where can I get volume textures?

  Does anybody know where I could find some free volume textures to play around with Nico I thought of shooting lots of rays and intersecting it with an arbitrary mesh (or meshes). The DXIntersect() method is probably quite convenient for doing that. You can find out what's inside and what's outside by simply counting the hits... The user could specify the volume texture resolution. Also I like the user to be able to specify what will be inside the volume via a kind of bounding box that can be resized and rotated. Will try that when I have some free time. There are so many other things todo right ...Show All

• Visual C++ application trying to link to MSVCP80.dll inspite of /MT compiler option

  Hi I am using Visual Studio 2005 professional on Windows XP x64 bit version. I am trying to create  a dll (say X ) which links statically to CRT libraries. For that I am using /MT option. But still when my console application .exe file tries to load it, I get the message - "This application failed to start as MSVCP80.dll could not be found".  If I copy it into the directory  it asks for MSVCR80.dll. And if I copy that too it gives an error - It is strange that another DLL Y works loads fine. Also i used depends.exe and i found that DLL X depends upon MSVCP80.dll and MSVCR80.dll while DLL Y does not. The c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can you use assembly in VC++ Express?

  Just curious! I'm not a dinosaur or anything (only 23) but I did get started in programming way back in the dos/os2 days using C/C++, ASM, basic, and pascal. So, can you use any inline asm in Express Yes the compiler will compile inline asm as part of your C++ code. Take a look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/45yd4tzz.aspx for more details.
