i am new in the field of game programming , and i decided to use .NET as my platform and C# as my programming language and managed directx9 as my graphics library.
now i need help to find out many resources about this field and under previous considrations , if u can help me please answer me how to find a good resources.
secondly i am wondering is there any tool on earth that can generate the managed directx 9 code , so the devloper can concentrate in the bussnes logic.
thx all

Keep in mind that there are no commercial games written in C# for a reason. But by all means, it's as good a place to start as any.

No comercial games?
try what about?: http://arenawars.krawall.de/eng/
And the only reasons not many comecial games are written in C# is:
1) the VAST majority of games dev tallent is in C++ ...any move over to C# is going to be a slow process as a games dev's time is strongly dictated by deadlines so time out to learn C# is not easy to come by.
2) The prodution cycle for most games is longer than Managaed DX has been a viable alternative for so no wounder they're arn't many commerical games in C# about :?
There is no reason commercial games can not be made in C# with managed DX9 unless you really need to hit up as much power as is possible (that 2% you loose from using managed code) and you are able to use unmanaged code to squeeze it out of a system.... but not every game (or even, every 10th game) needs that raw power and if im not mistaken there is a 3D engine written in C# that belts along faster than its C++ coded version (cant remember the name check out gamedev.net for info).
So to the OP dont abandon C# for games devving, you will get results much faster than a simular project in C++ and it will help keep motivation up ... and no one will be able to tell any difference between your games and games written C++... accept your games will be finished long before the same thing could be coded in C++.
As a non-pro, C#'s managed nature will help you avoid many a pitfall you could stumble in C++ that could cause slowdown or performance issues... so from an amatures point of view you will probably find your games run better if written in c# than they would if you wrote them in c++ as C# will be handling a lot of the stuff that may cause problems for you.
read around, get oppinions from games dev sites, C# is as viable as C++ right now and there is no reason to be struggling with C++ when C# is sutch a cake walk to code.... Ok you wont get a professional games dev' job right now with C# right now but i saw UbiSoft advertising for .Net coders to write games development tools earlier this year, so its only a matter of time before more games dev' houses take up C#.

hi all

thx

It's called hard work.
VB.NET > C# might be possible to automate. If you are talking about unmanaged C++ > C#, then you've just got to pick through the code line by line doing a rewrite. Im currently porting a bunch of 2d physics stuff from C++ to C# and it isnt really all that hard.

If you are realy into Copy&Past you can use Lutz Röders Reflector.
This tool is able to read binary Assemblies and decompile them into IL.
This IL can then be converted to C#, VB or Delphi code.
But you can only convert method by method and all comments will be lost.
For small classes this should work. For bigger projects it might be not the right choice.

Hi,
I'm trying to get some text that I copy to the clipboard to stay there after my application has closed. At the moment I can paste from clipboard while my application is open, but after it closes the clipboard is empty.
Code:
**START APPLICATION**
Clipboard.SetDataObject("Sample Text");
**CLOSE APPLICATION**
|
|
|
|
|
Clipboard.SetDataObject("Sample Data", true);
// True maintains copy after appln exits.

Hello!
In C++ one could indent listview items very easily: lvi.iIndent = 1. Now, how can we do the same in C#?
I've read something about ListViewItem.IndentCount and ListViewItem.NumIndents properties, but my compiler (latest SharpDevelop IDE) doesn't know these members... All other things work quite nicely (lvi.ImageIndex, lvi.SubItems.etc.).
Maybe any workaround idea?
Best regards
Dominik
_outp(0x64, 0xAD);
and
__asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al
do the same... but what do they do?? 
(doesn't work on NT)

Hi!
The .NET ListView or ListViewItem doesn't have anything like this built-in.
But, because it's merely a wrapper around the Win32 ListView control, you can achieve these effects by using P/invoke to send the corresponding LVM_* messages to the ListView.

Type type = Type.GetType("System.Int32");
object result = null;
//****************
result = type.GetMethod("Parse").Invoke(null,BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public,null,new object[]{"7"},null); //where is wrong???
//****************
Console.WriteLine(result.ToString());
thank you!

System.Int32.Parse hase more than one overload.
So you have to define which of the overloads you need.
You do so by specifying the parameters in the GetMethod of the Type.
result = type.GetMethod("Parse", new Type[]{typeof(string)}).Invoke(null,BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public,null,new object[]{"7"},null); //this is correct

Hello all,
I have typical problem as following.
I have user control (grid contorl)developed in vc++ and compiled version is in .lib file.
Same control i want to use in c#.
As we cant call .lib file or have reference of .lib in .net project, we have to write some intermediate code /wrapper class.
Do i need to convert first .lib file into dll in vc++?
If yes the control is a class not just a group of function.Is it possible?
so how to write it.I am not a vc guy.
Is there any approch hwo to go about it?Can you step by step information.
it will be great if i get reply soon..i m really stuck here...
thanks and regards,
Urvish

The only way i know is to create an ActiveX wrapper class in C++.
You could then use this control via COMInterop.
But since you said you are no C++ guy i would suggest you look for some GridControl implemented in .NET.
Search CodeProject for GridControl, there are some on this site.

I am using MCMS 2002 the problem i m facing is with cookies.
The cookies I am using losts its value after accessing it. THe code I am using is as
1) MCMS is installed on Windows XP.
2) Piece of code to set the cookie.
HttpCookie objCookie = new HttpCookie("LanguagePreference");
Response.Cookies.Clear();
Response.Cookies.Add(objCookie);
objCookie.Values.Add("LanguagePreference","En");
Response.Cookies["LanguagePreference"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(15);
3) Piece of code to get the cookie back.
a) cookieValue = Request.Cookies["LanguagePreference"].Value
or
b) cookieValue = Response.Cookies["LanguagePreference"].Value
Problem Statement ::
1) Cookie set Successfully using code in step 2.
2) Now if I try to get this cookie back using code at line 3(a) [in Request object] then I get it for first time & then that cookie is deleted automatically.
3) When I try to get this cookie back using code at line 3(b) [in Response object] then that cookie is deleted automatically immediately.
Any Solutions ?

objClassType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Excel.Application");
objApp_Late = Activator.CreateInstance(objClassType);
Process[] aProcesses=Process.GetProcessesByName("Excel");
// please remove the string variable
string strProc="These are the processes running \n";
for (int i = 0; i <= aProcesses.GetUpperBound(0); i++)
{
intExcelPID = aProcesses[i].Id;
strProc+=intExcelPID.ToString()+ " ";
}
//Get the workbooks collection.
objBooks_Late = objApp_Late.GetType().InvokeMember( "Workbooks",
BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, objApp_Late, null );
//Add a new workbook.
objBook_Late = objBooks_Late.GetType().InvokeMember( "Add",
