C# - Directx Basic Capability Testing?
Apr 6, 2009
I have a managed directx 9.0c application that fails to run on some low spec machines (ones without graphics card).I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions with regards to the minimum directx caps to test for so that I can catch a potential failure before trying to run the application.The directx application only displays a few meshes and a couple of textures and nothing too intensive

I'm looking into adding some unit tests for some classes in my data access layer and I'm looking at an update routine that has no return value.It simply updates a row based on the id you provide at whichever column name you provide.Inside of this method, we collect the parameters and pass them to a helper routine which calls the stored procedure to update the table.Is there a recommended approach for how to do unit testing in such a scenario?

I'm building an Active Directory wrapper in VBNET 2.0 (can't use later .NET) in which I have the following:
IUtilisateur
IGroupe
IUniteOrganisation
These interfaces are implemented in internal classes (Friend in VBNET), so that I want to implement a façade in order to instiate each of the interfaces with their internal classes. This will allow the architecture a better flexibility, etc.Now, I want to test these classes (Utilisateur, Groupe, UniteOrganisation) in a different project within the same solution. However, these classes are internal. I would like to be able to instantiate them without going through my façade, but only for these tests, nothing more.

In the last day or two I've lost the ability to edit code while the program is running (and halted at a breakpoint).I also can't instantiate otherwise unused test variables for purposes of examination - I'm told they don't exist in the current context.Also System. Diagnostics.Debug doesn't work anymore.the error message generated when attempting to edit is :Changes are not allowed in the following cases:
- When the debugger has been attached to an already running process.
- The code being debugged was optimized at build or run time.
- The assembly being debugged is loaded as domain-neutral.
- The assembly being debugged was loaded through reflection.
I suspect that optimizations are being performed that are causing all this but I can't find where they are being set nor why they have changed.tools/options/debug shows that Edit and Continue is enabled although it is grayed out while the progarm is running. Windows 7, X86.

I am writing a windows application in VB.Net.
My client wants an intelligent combo box with type ahead capability. For example let's I have a list of companies. I want to find my company "MetaPro". With the Microsoft combo box if you type in the first letter of the name it will bring up first one starting with that letter. For example I type in "M" it will bring up "Mass. Dept. of Ed.", I then type in "E" I get the first one starting with "E" maybe "E, G & G" where I want the first one starting with "ME".
Perhaps there is an open source solution to this or I could create a custom control. But I don't know how.

I'm presently creating an application which uses Access2007 as the database. No problem there. But Since most use Excel for data-entry, i've created two tables in access linked to excel source file. Any change in excel will reflect in Access database and subsequently in my Application . Until now my application only reads the database and displays records in DataGridView. These records, i then export to excel along with other formatting for direct printing as a report as I have no idea how to make report. Now i want to add data-entry capability to my app using password-protection user-access. So i can directly add new record to source file. Also need to know if There's any way of eliminating Access from the picture entirely....

I've got an issue with an Access97 replicated database that I'm writing a small monitoring app for. I've got FSW's to track changes to the necessary files, but am having some issue in enumerating exactly what has changed in some instances, specifically when attributes may have changed. I'm using a similar strategy to track this as I did for changes in size. I've got a Private class variable for the size of each file and a local method variable and compare the two, when different, update the class variable for the next comparison.

I have a quick question that needs answering. How can I use DirectX in my VB 2008 application? Most sites I've seen says to write Imports Microsoft.DirectX but it's apparently not there. I have downloaded the DirectX SDK (MArch 2009) but there are only C++ files in there. Can anyone provide insight as to how I could solve this?

I am using Microsoft's Visual Studio 2005 (VB.Net) to make a basic directx program, which shows the coordinate visually. The idea is to draw the x-y and x-z grid using the line class of the direct3D. The line class has a function to draw line in 3d
Public Sub DrawTransform(ByVal vertexList() As Microsoft.DirectX.Vector3, ByVal transform As Microsoft.DirectX.Matrix, ByVal color As System.Drawing.Color)

I've spent a long time bashing my head against my desk and an even longer time trying to get directX to work with vb.net. I've downloaded the June 2010 SDK and installed. I cannot import the directx reference, and it does not even show up in the add references popup. even when manually going into the c:program filesMicrosoft DirectX SDK (June 2010) and search every folder for the correct file it does not exist. What the hell. I'm running Visual Studio 2010 Pro. this is the most frustrating thing.

I have found an example about how to create 2D Graphics in Visual Basic using DirectX here. I have created a new Windows Application, I have copied the code, but I get errors. The code seems to be OK, but the application refuses to start. I have the nVIDIA 7300LE Graphics Card and I'm using Windows Vista x64 with DirectX 10 and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. I have also downloaded the DirectX Redistributable Package (March 2009) in order to make my application work...

I'm using using System.Graphics for my latest project (A simple 2D application). Problem is, it gets a horrible FPS and I'm only drawing 8x8 tiles (usually 10-12 is enough to bring it down to 12FPS).
A friend of mine suggested that I use DirectX. He also suggested XNA but I opposed because I don't want my clients to have to install the XNA distributional. DirectX is common enough (to my knowledge) and I can just include the dll's if I need to.
So, my search began. I've been looking only for DirectX 2D tutorials for VB.net. I've had no solid success thus far. In truth, all I need to do is be able to draw bitmap x at position pos.
I've been using System.Graphics and a hacked up bitmap as my buffer thus far so I'll go for any improvement that I can get.
I'm using VB.net so I'll be ok if you give my one for C#, I'm pretty good at being able to read it (and I have a nice converter too). I would just prefer VB.net to save time.

I decided to add some 3D rendering to my project and found an interesting little quirk. DirectX doesn't like to work under the AnyCPU Platform; it won't run. Instead you have to assign it to a new platform x86 under the Configuration Manager; which makes debugging difficult because if your doing User Controls they won't load.

So, I coded a graphics engine for myself. I can make meshes, save them, load them, rotate them, position them, scale them, and light them. Unfortunately, when I scale objects to a size other than it's original size, my lighting intensity changes (seemingly proportionally) with the scale of the object! Ambient light still works correctly though. Any suggestions?

I have made a rendering application and it NEEDS dx9c to run... so i want to add dx9c install into my setup project, so when the application installs after the setup has installed the main application it will then install dx9c, I have a folder in my data folder called dx9c with full runtimes inside and the dxsetup.exe, I have tried making a custom action and pointed the action at the dx9c/dxsetup.exe from the data folder into commit folder but this errors on when launching the dxsetup.exe "invalid command line" and uninstalls the whole application.
