VS 2010 DynamicBitmap - Class Mod Perfect For Games Includes Alpha Blend Pathfinding?
Jun 18, 2010
Includes alpha blending, pathfinding, grid rendering, and lots of other algorithms that make basic game programing in VB 2010 a lot simpler. Copy the code in the attached text document into a blank class. Then add it to your project. Initialize as you would any other class...
"Dim aGameGridOrWhatever as New DynamicBitmap"Let me know if anyone finds any bugs in the PathFinding algorithm. I finished it tonight. I'll post some examples of how to do stuff to this thread soon.
I added a pathfinding algorithm to my DynamicBitmap. Can anyone offer suggestions on ways to improve it?I attached the DynamicBitmap in a text file (copy/paste to a class). Here's some code for a Form that shows how to use it.[code]......
Drawing a 3-D border should be easy enough, right? Nope. Does anyone know how to draw a border that looks exactly like TextBox's? Right now, I'm just drawing black lines at the top + left and white at the bottom + right but the bevel isn't nice and when the background color is white, the bottom + right don't show up.
So I am trying to solve this program using the algorithm given, and I get no error messages but everytime I execute the program it just crashes. Any idea what I am doing wrong?\The user wants a program that will return a set of perfect numbers based on the value that is given. If the user types in 3, the program will return 3 perfect numbers
So this is the code I have so far... dim perfectnumber as integer = 2 dim divisorRunningSum As Integer = 2
Almost 2 months i try to find perfect solution for my project. I making one multi-user chat application with SERVER and CLIENT application. I read a lot of material about socket communication and try a million of examples all around, some in C# some in VB.net, but I can't find solution.Problem that every example and my try have is when 10-20 user chatting really fast, server reacting slow or whatever is, but final product is that two or many message show in one LINE. For example if i send string "test1" and an my friend, let's call him FRIEND1, send "test2" almost in same time, server sending it to all connected clients like this:stefanACM:test1FRIEND1:test2.I try to implement in my application "Asynchronous TcpListener & TcpClient" from jmcilhinney, but have same problem...
So, can anybody help me with this.I just need one server application that will recive connection, save IP and nick of connected user, and send every message that client sent to all connected users (of course without problem that I mention on beginning of post). On end, that when client disconnect just to close connection.From Client side I need just connect part, send and receive messages.
So in one line, I think I need BASIC EXAMPLE OF PERFECT MULTI USER CHAT CLIENT AND SERVER, without any hiden bug.If someone decide to help me with code,
What wrong with my databinding? How to correct the perfect binding with combobox and texbox.. When I select Projectname the other are changing except the email... Why the email is not changing?
Code: commemails = New OleDbCommand daemails = New OleDbDataAdapter dsemails = New DataSet dtemails = New DataTable myconn = New OleDbConnection(("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & "Data Source=") + My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "SMRPsource.mdb") [Code] .....
All I am trying to do is get my dumb button I created in Blend 4 work on a _Click event. I have the C# equivalent code, but I can't get it converted correctly...Here are both codes...I am using VS2010 just in case you want to know..
C# Code namespace TestButton1 { public partial class MainWindow:Window
[Code].....
As soon as I can get this very first initialization down, I know I can get the rest of the events written fine.
I am using this code to bring data in combobox but u_id is the premiry key n not full name then on selection how can i bring the perfect result?[code]...
I'm trying to blend a few textures together to "bake" the final texture. Since I need the actual resulting bitmap, I don't think I can/want to do this using DirectX or OpenGL. I have: - 4 Textures (RGB, 2048x2048): t0, t1, t2, t3 - 3 Alphamaps (ARGB, the RGB value is irrelevant, 64x64): a1, a2, a3
Here's what I currently do for each pixel (in simplified notation): FinalColor = ((t0 * (1 - a1) + t1 * a1) * (1 - a2) + t2 * a2) * (1 - a3) + t3 * a3
This works fine, however, it takes forever, because I have to iterate over a 2048x2048 image pixel by pixel. Is there a more elegant way to solve this (i.e. using graphics.drawimage or something like it, but then, how?) How can I scale to Alphamap up with bilinear/bicubic interpolation (without having to do it pixel by pixel)? I currently use the original resolution, but that leads to rather visible transitions.
I have a listbox that displays Shipment Items (custom class) that are formatted using a datatemplate (see below). There is a border element in the template (I am calling it a Gem) that displays which item is active (not selected) which will be the item to which products will be added.

There is a boolean property in the shipment class (Active) which is set in a click event handler for the Gem element. Normally the Gem is supposed to be dark as in the first image, then lit when active. I have a DataTrigger set up in the DataTemplate to handle the change in the color of the Gem.
i would like to create a custom base class for some of my UserControls. Doing this in VS2008 is fine and compiles as expected, but when i edit the control in Blend 3 the base class in the blabla.g.vb is always changed back to System.Windows.Controls.UserControl.
I'm trying to do for a website. I've got a header banner that is 900px wide, and I want to display 4 random images across the banner. (I've got about 20 photos at this point, and I want the header to select from them.) I can get the code for the random selection, but what I'm looking for is a way to blend about 10 pixels near the overlap. If I have each picture exactly 225px wide, I get a "hard" line between the images. I'd like to make the images a little bit wider and soften the edge by overlapping and blending the images together. I have figured out how to get the image back to the web browser, but I don't even know where to start on trying to figure out the blending. Graphics really aren't my thing.
Previously I used to piddle around with VB6 to develop a couple of personal projects. Following my upgrade to Windows 7, I've decided to piddle about with vb.net Express Edition 2010.If I wanted my VB6 application to blend in with the visual style of Windows, I would use the code and techniques described here. In short, I would use a Manifest file and a couple of calls within the application and most of the elements would look similar to the XP theme applied. If it was run on 2000, 95 or 98 then it would look like a standard Windows app. All was good.
Now I've moved onto vb.net, I've written a simple "Hello, world" application but I have absolutely no idea on how to make it look like the Windows 7 theme (eg. the font matches the system font and the widgets are styled correctly).Just changing the font is a hack and will look out of place on machines that are set-up differently or run a different version of Windows where the default font is different.How do I ensure my application matches the applied Windows theme irrespective of the version of Windows?
I have a project, in which a user can click a button- even if he's using different program- that button in the program will simulate a keyboard shortcut and and use it in that current program he's using.
I want to do is blend two images together with a varying amount of transparency using a scroll bar/trackbar. In software I can do it by drawing an image into a picture box and blending another image on top with a varying amount of transparency but it is using gdi which of course is very slow. I would have thought that it should be very easy with fairly basic modern graphics cards but I am so bogged down with examples of how to draw fancy rotating rectangles etc with direct x that I can't see through it all. Should I look at directdraw, direct3d, opengl?
I need to submit a project tomorrow, and the topic is WPF using XAML. We are using VB by the way. Now I am still a beginner at programming, so I needed help. I've got a ton of WPF and blend tutorials open in tabs in my browser, but I have no idea where to start, and no idea for a project. I asked my tutor and he said he'll be checking our understanding of XAML, and creating an object using XAML as well as the other way round.
I stumbled onto some tutorials of media players main in WPF, and I decided to go with it. But because I have never used blend or WPF along with XAML before, I don't know what to do, if say I make a button in blend with effects, so that I may add coding behind it in VB. Please help me out. I've got like 15 hours before I have to submit.
I want to read a number of items from a file and then associate each of those items with a new button at run-time, so that when the user clicks one of the buttons I can display some information about that item.Can I use a LIST to manage these buttons and items? Can I create a new class and have each list item of that class, such as 'btnID', 'btnText', etc... ?
how to get my compiled program onto another computer. I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Professional.
I've read and tried ClickOnce deployment and Setup Installer, but I'm not getting it right.
With ClickOnce, I manage to install the program and it has the menu item and icon in the Start menu, but when I try and run it, it tells me that it can't find the text file. I put the file in the bin Debug and Release folders, selected 'Build' then 'Publish' and still no go.
I tried the other option of creating an Installer (using [URL] as my guide), but I get the same error - the txt file can't be found.
I've done this several times, but just can't seem to get it to work. Other resources online, like YouTube, just cover a project that doesn't include a text file or database file etc.
