The aim of these tutorials is initially to show you how to create a simple game, from scratch, without the help of higher level API's like XNA or DirectX which automate half the process for you. All we will be using, is a windows form and GDI+ to do some basic drawing, and for a little extra convenience a few of the form's events. In this tutorial we will cover double buffering to remove any flickering, setting up a simple FPS counter, getting input from the player and drawing sprites to the scr...

5.5 sports a new Find Tasks dialog that allows searching on multiple attributes simultaneously eg. Find tasks having category 'a', allocated to 'b' and due before 'c'. You can also choose whether two rules are 'OR-ed' together or 'AND-ed', with the one caveat that 'AND' always takes binds more tightly than 'OR'. Consider the simple logic A AND B OR C. If you enter the rules exactly as shown then the result will be (A AND B) OR C. However, if what you wanted was A AND (B OR C) then you would need...

This document highlights a few of the reasons why you – or your development team – should invest in a code profiling tool. First, we demonstrate how critical your development work is and how it affects your organization as a whole. We then expose why you need to avoid manual trial and error processes, and why having a profiling tool in your development toolkit is so vital. The last section offers an insight into why ANTS Profiler is the market-leading code profiler....

With this utility you can simply find memory leaks in your program (CRT and COM-Leaks!). Each leak is displayed with the callstack (including the source line) of the allocation. So, you can easily find leaks, while using the STL. It will also write a file with the callstack if your application crashes (it can also handle stack-overflows!). It almost has no runtime-overhead (runtime-cost). And the best: it is free (GNU Lesser General Public License)....

What is this for? Why should I use this software. It's quite simple: you have to build an application with a tree control and you need images for the branches. You have to create a bitmap with all of them and then create the image list, set transparency color, etc. If you have 100 gifs you want to use the problem is big. This program can generate a bitmap with 100 gifs in 2-3 seconds. It also generates the resource script and defines if you want to use this as a toolbar and provides code to inte...

Visual C++ provides built-in memory leak detection, but its capabilities are minimal at best. This memory leak detector was created as a free alternative to the built-in memory leak detector provided with Visual C++. Here are some of Visual Leak Detector's features, none of which exist in the built-in detector:
* Provides a complete stack trace for each leaked block, including source file and line number information when available.
* Provides complete data dumps (in hex and ASCII) ...

Unit Testing allows the developer to create solid applications that will last the changes in the future. There are several articles on GridViewGuy that covers the concepts and benefits of Unit Testing. In this article we are going to go one step further and create Unit Tests for our Membership and Role providers. If you are building an ASP.NET 2.0 application with multi user support then it is quite possible that you will be using the Membership and Role provider model for authentication. Authen...

A common problem that developers have with serialization is dealing with the unknown derived classes of the serialized types. Often serialization errors occur when Typed object collections have instances of an object derived Type. This is due to the XmlSerializer not knowing how to resolve the type of the object. A common workaround is to register those derived types using the [XmlInclude(Type type)] custom attribute. While this works, it does not support future extensibility. Any new derived cl...

I’m really excited to announce the first release of IndieLib game engine. It has been a lot of hard work for several years in which I have been working in this project. What started like a hobby has become in a quite robust 2d engine that I think can be useful for the gamming community, specially for the indie game developers. Because of that I want to offer it to all you for free, hopefully it will be useful for some of you. The main purpose of IndieLib is to make the things easier for the game...

Protecting application secrets, such as database connection strings and passwords, requires careful consideration of a number of pertinent factors such as how sensitive the data is, who could gain access to it, how to balance security, performance, and maintainability, and so forth. This article explains the fundamentals of data protection and compares a variety of techniques that can be used to protect application settings. The author discusses what to avoid, such as hiding keys in source code ...

Desaware is shipping CAS/Tester (automated code access security testing) for Visual Studio® .NET. CAS/Tester was developed to address the issue of security constraints as software is deployed through the Internet, intranets, and other distribution channels. Code access security is a key feature of the Microsoft® .NET Framework that enables administrators of each machine (via configuration settings) to decide exactly which types of operations an assembly can perform. CAS/Tester automates the proc...

I'm working on a project that has a long history. When we started, we implemented our own popup menus for various reasons. When tooltips came along, we added this functionality to our menus so that tooltips appear when the user holds the mouse over a menu item. This is important to our users because it explains why a menu item is disabled. As our users became more familiar with the world of Windows® they wanted to have menus that looked like the standard menus. Currently we use CMenu, but we hav...
