Hello, I am designing a very basic video game, and I want an image to move relative to key presses. This image is on top of a background image. I use picture boxes, however there is a rectangle surrounding the image I wish to move, and it does not look right. Is there a way to make it so that the moving image appears to be part of the background image, so when I move it around? Much like any video game out there with characters that move. Thank you very much

Don't use picturebox ,but use Graphics.DrawImage() as it will draw over the back ground and when you call this.Refresh(),It will re paint the back ground and you casn after this call immediatly draw it again in another location.

Is there a specific way to call that function; I have tried this so far:
Bitmap* MyImage;<br />
System::String* image = "Resource/wiggle.gif";<br />
<br />
MyImage = new Bitmap(image);<br />
Graphics* Dr = new Graphics;<br />
Dr.DrawImage((dynamic_cast<Image*>(MyImage)),50,50);
however I get errors. Thank you very much for the help you have given me thus far.

The SQL Server CE tools on the PDA have a simple Query Analzyer tool, you can execute sql or visually design the tables with this tool.

Thank Dan_P for your reply. Just try to confirm with you. The SQL server CE tools is pre-installed on the PDA or it needed to get the software install in it.

Also the first time you deploy an app that uses SqlServer CE, it installs it.

This might not be the best forum for this question but I hope someone will be able to answer it anyway.
I have a bunch of nunit tests that I want to run. The problem is that they fail if run them all. If I run them one by one they work fine. These tests tests some sockets network code. The network connection is done using a static object. This means all tests use the same network connection object. I thought that the tests run one after the other, but it seems they run in parallell sometimes. This has the effect that a test connects to the server and starts doing what the test does and then another test opens a new connection with the effect that the state needed in the first tests is lost, and thereby causing the first test to fail.
So the real question is how NUnit runs the tests? Does it run them one after the other or (atleast to some degree) in parallell?

I've not noticed them running in parallel and I don't believe that they do but I have had similar problems and upon closer inspection determined that I have introduced some state dependencies. Anyway, the solution for me was to use Setup and Teardown (Nunit things) code to make sure state was setup correctly for each test that I ran.
That just might work for you too.

I've set Contolbox = false on mdi children so it appears to the user that the children are part of the mdi parent. This workls fine, but when the child is first created it has a titlebar that disappears after a split second, but it is there long enough to make the whole form appear to "bounce" when the titlebar goes away, causing the entire form to shift upward. I'm using VS 2003 and C#.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I do this kind of UI trick here at work all the time so try what I do, just turn off the border altogether, that works great!

Hello,
Is it possible to have a solution containing 2 versions of an application (a normal and an extensive version)? It's very tedious to make this into 2 solutions because the 2 versions share common forms.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
~Rafferty

It depends. It's pretty easy to have two builds of the one code base, to create two seperate versions. Or did you want two versions in seperate projects that are part of the one solution ? There's probably no reason why you can't do that, and have them both include source from a common file, but you still need to code a way for your app to not show extra features that you've not compiled into the program. It really depends on how complex the differences are - will removing one menu option remove all access to the advanced features, or is it right through the UI ?

No, the two versions are part of one project. So to do this, I simply have to hide the other features for the regular version and show them in the extended version? maybe i just create a
isExtended = false; in the Main() function and have an if(isExtended) {...} in the other areas.
Is this correct?
Thanks for the help,

No i don't think that's good
Compiler will comile evrything. Only a hacker will get extendet future.
You should use:
#define IsExtended
#ifdef IsExtended
ToDo:
#endif //IsExtended
In this way the compiler will comile the extendet future.
if you don't want to compile, then just delete "#define IsExtended"
What do you think

You're assuming he's using C++. There's a 1/3 chance of that, here.

I'm using c#  so the suggestion of sakida also works in c# right? i believe the syntax is also #ifdef correct?
|
|
|
|
|
I don't think #define works in C#, no. It's a holdover from C, in C++.

found #define, #if & #endif in the MSDN (Filtered by C#). So I believe there is. Thanks for the help! 
|
|
|
|

As Sakida said, you don't want to compile the functionality you're not offering into your code base. So create two projects, so that only one has all the functionality, and the one with limited functionality needs to somehow figure out not to show the options that are missing from menus, etc. Something like what you suggest would work for that part.

I see... I'm thinking about separating them into two projects and have a
<br />
#define IsExtended<br />
<br />
#if IsExtended<br />
using extended;<br />
#endif<br />
What do you think? And how can I make the #define IsExtended line globally accessible by all forms?
By the way, is the syntax correct? ^^
Thanks,
~Rafferty

If the #define happens in code, then it's a waste of time. If you can't create a define as a build property ( as you can in C++ ), then the mechanism you use to change builds remains a manual one.
It seems that C# works the same a C here, I didn't know ( I hated macros in C ). You can set the defined values in your build settings, so you can set up builds for more than one version, and wrap entire classes in #ifdef statements. Personally, ( and I did this on a project in C++ years ago ), I think this gets too messy, too quickly. Your code gets hard to read, and flow is hard to establish with little #ifdef blocks everywhere. The approach I suggest would force you to move most of the differences into entire classes that are excluded, and a #define could be used just for the code that controls what menu options are provided, as appropriate. The less #ifdef blocks you can have, the better.
