This will not work. You cannot copy those .DLL's from a Vista system and expect them to work on XP. The rendering system work quite a bit differently.
As for the error that you're getting, what you didn't take into account is that the .DLL's you copied are depending on other .DLL's themselves which you haven't copied and that cannot be loaded because of other problems, not the least of which is you're trying to run Vista .DLL's on an XP system.

Hello to all, now I expose my problem:
I'm developing a program with Visual C# express to calculate the ratio of my radio-controlled model!
How do I enter the following input data:
Number of teeth of spur gear (int), internal ratio (float), and ratio that you want to get (float).
I need as output the number of teeth of the pinion to use. The pinion is obtained with the following formula:
Pinion = (Spur Gear * Ratio) / Internal Ratio
My problem is that I don' t know how to operate the data conversions, because obviously I can' t write:
Int SpurGear = textbox1.Text;
Float Ratio = textbox2.Text;
Float InternalRatio= textbox3.Text;
Float Pinion = (SpurGear * Ratio) / InternalRatio;
label1.text= Pinion;
Etc Etc
Someone can help me?

Try:
Int SpurGear = int.Parse(textbox1.Text);
Float Ratio = Float.Parse(textbox2.Text);
Float InternalRatio= Float.Parse(textbox3.Text);
Float Pinion = ((Float) SpurGear * Ratio) / InternalRatio;
label1.text= Pinion.ToString();

Ok thank you very much, now I try it!

Most of the value types have Parse method for data conversion. Don't forget to have a look at TryParse methods too

Hi,
a TextBox contains text, so Text returns a string, not a number.
converting strings to some numeric type is called parsing, use the Parse or TryParse method of the target type, e.g. double.TryParse(...), see documentation.

Hello there I am hoping that someone might be able to help me optimize my code for an XNA Program I have made, basically I have made my own custom interface in XNA, now my interface works pretty similar to the ways that windows does, however if you nest too many controls inside each other, then the game really starts to run at a slow rate (fps wise), as it obviously the draw method for the controls are taking too long.
I have tried doing a background draw (using an event via BeginInvoke and EndInvoke), but I get lots of flashing and sometimes it even crashes, as it tries to access the Sprite Batch sometimes when it is still is use
Is there another way to optimize my code that will allow me to get my performance back again??
Here is a sample of the draw code for a container object:
if (m_pTexture != null)
{
graphicsManager.Begin();
if (bSetupClientArea)
graphicsManager.SetupClientRect(TranslatedArea);
if (Image_States == 0 || Image_States == 1)
graphicsManager.Draw(m_pTexture, TranslatedArea, new Color(255, 255, 255, (byte)Alpha));
else
{
int nSubHeight = m_pTexture.Height / Image_States;
Rectangle src = new Rectangle(0, (int)Current_State * nSubHeight, m_pTexture.Width, nSubHeight);
graphicsManager.Draw(m_pTexture, TranslatedArea, src, new Color(255, 255, 255, (byte)Alpha));
}
graphicsManager.End();
DrawBorder(graphicsManager);
}
for (int i = 0; i < m_pComponents.Count; ++i)
{
Component component = m_pComponents[i];
if (component.Visible)
component.Draw(gameTime, graphicsManager, true);
}
As you can see each container has its own Rectangular Area, and it will basically use the graphics manager (which contains the sprite batch object for my XNA Program) to setup it's clip area and draw all of the contents to it, of course using this method means every container has to use begin and end from the graphics manager, to make sure that the objects are drawn correctly
Does calling the SpriteBatch.Begin and End function numerous times cause it to slow down considerably??
Or do you think something else is causing it to slow down??

Yes, don't do that. SpriteBatch is a batch for a reason, graphics calls and especially context changes are slow, so it tries to accumulate as many as possible to do many of them at once.
Sometimes it may be required to restart your batch, but I've found that can get quite slow if you do it often.

i am using the GraphicsDevice.ScissorRectangle to clip all controls, is there another way (code wise) to do this that does not require havin a call to the spritbatch Begin and End just to make sure controls are drawn correctly??
|
|
|
|
|
So you have to clip every control to an other rectangle?
|
|
|
|
|
i can get away with normal controls, because they use textures, you can easily alter the destination and the src to affect the overall look of the interface, but the label controls have strings which are drawn to them and i don't know no easy way to manipulate the DrawSting so that it only draws the correct part of the string depending on it's location in the parent

Oh drawstring.. It's kinda evil really
I just use my own bitmap fonts, draw them as sprites, like in the old days of XNA 1 - it's just so much more flexible
If you really want to/have to use DrawString, then, I'm sorry but I don't know any clean workarounds 
Also, there are usually very few (in any) replies here to XNA questions, it might be better to ask on Ziggyware or something like that

|

yeah i was thinking of doing that, thanks for your help again lol, (i presume you mean by using System.Drawing??)
if not can I have some sample code please.
|
|
|
|
|
Hm no, why would you mix XNA with System.Drawing?
I mean you'd have a big texture with all your glyphs on it, and you'd map chars to coordinates on that texture, and keep a list of widths (if it's a variable width font) to update the X coordinate on the screen with
Just use a SpriteBatch for that, it'll be fast because it's all the same texture

Hi,
In my application i have to print receipt using Dot Matrix Printer(EPSION LQ-300+II). My receipt have preprinted format, in this format i have to send datas using C# code.
My papers size is:Height:10 Inch and Width 9.5 inch. The paper is regular paper.
The problem is in first page datas are printed in required location but in next page it is printed in other location. So, How to set paper size in Crystal Report using C# application for this case: I have set like this:
Reports.frmCrViewer.PaperSize = PaperSize.Paper10x14;
Reports.frmCrViewer.PaperOrientiation = PaperOrientation.DefaultPaperOrientation;
this syntax is correct but the paper size Paper10*14 didn't matched my requirement. So, what should i have to do to print in paper having size 10*9.5 inch.
Please Help Me

I have a StreamWriter used to create log files and it works fine the first time but if I try to use it again writes fail because the file is not open to write to.
This is called to create a new log file:
FileStream fs = new FileStream(timestr, FileMode.CreateNew);
ScriptData.LogFile = new StreamWriter(fs);
ScriptData.LogFile.WriteLine("Logile created {0:yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HHmmss}.log", DateTime.Now);
This is called to close a file:
ScriptData.LogFile.WriteLine("Script {0} completed.", ScriptData.LogName);
ScriptData.LogFile.Close();
ScriptData.LogFile.Dispose();
ScriptData persists outside the scope of these calls.
Any ideas? All I want to do is be able to write ASCII text to log files.
Thanks.

Where and how do you destroy the filestream object fs?
The problem is, if you close the underlying filestram, you also close the file.

The StreamWriter is a member of Scriptdata which is persistent.
|
|

Take a look at your code!
<pre>FileStream fs = new FileStream(timestr, FileMode.CreateNew);
ScriptData.LogFile = new StreamWriter(fs);</pre>
Now if you close fs then your StreamWriter can be a static item from hell, its closed cause you closed the underlying filestream!
StreamWriter is just a class to have a simpler way to transfer data from and to a file.
The FileStream itself "represents" the file!
Greetings

Elaine - rather than rolling your own logging solution, you should really look into using something like log4net[^]. We use it all the time now.

Pete,
that looks good but I'm not sure it would do what I need which is basically to capture the input from a serial port, write it to a file and occasionally insert comments along the way.
Log4net seems to be about logging for the application whereas I am logging the embedded target being controlled.

That wouldn't be a problem. Instead of calling your log code, you can call Log.Write on the log4net log manager. You might want to log to the messagequeue and log from there, for instance.
