I've received a number of emails and comments about Unity, mostly "How do I get started..." For those looking to get started, today is your day! Vahe Karamian recently published a great 10+1 series of posts on learning Unity 3D. UNITY 3D - Game Programming Introduction Introduction It has...

The .NET Framework 4.6 RC Multi-Targeting Pack is a package that enables developers to build applications targeting the .NET Framework 4.6 using either Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012 or third party IDEs. You need to download and install the .NET Framework 4.6 RC prior to installing the...

While I blog about Visual Studio Extensions all the time, I don't cover Project and Item templates much. Why? Well they just don't seem as exciting or cool as Extensions, I guess. Every day we Click-New Item-... or Click-New Project... and pow, we have a new class or project. Quick, simple...

I purchased a Windows XP desktop because my old XP desktop motherboard died. I wanted to be able to put my old hard drive (SATA100 7200RPM 160GB) in it and keep on using it. The new desktop has a smaller (looks like 80GB) hard drive that I would like to make a slave out of. I think it is an...

We've rewritten (and open sourced!) the C# and VB compilers, and exposed their functionality through APIs as the .NET Compiler Platform. But what do these APIs mean for those who aren't compiler jocks? Learn about diagnostic analyzers, a key new feature of Visual Studio 2015 that lets a NuGet...

I Just found and tried this, it's so simple and works great. No need to change it in BIOS and reinstall OS or do the regedit method. To change IDE/SATA mode to AHCI from with in windows. Run msconfig (right click far left bottom corner of desktop then left click run, type msconfig). Click...

Greetings, I am using Word as a log and memory jogger for changes I am making or need to make while editing code in Eclipse and other IDEs. The main problem is when I copy a snippet to paste it becomes white text on blue background, by time I paste it into word it is black text on blue...

Hello. Now I have two internal HDDs and one IDE 160GB and one SATA 2 500GB. I'll buy (for personal reasons) one SATA 3 of 1 TB. Questions: 1. Given that my motherboard only supports SATA 2, I'll be able to use (certainly not at the highest performance) the 1 TB HDD? 2. Do you recommend that...

Link Removed (PTVS) is a free, open source plugin that turns Visual Studio (including Express!) into a Python IDE. In this episode, Robert is joined by Steve Dower, who shows how PTVS provides Python developers all of the goodness of Visual Studio, including IntelliSense, local and remote...

I literally have no clue why or how did this happen. One day, I got home and boot up my laptop to finish a project for school. Then, while the Windows boot screen was loading, it suddenly flashed the BSOD and rebooted. I am quite experienced with these kind of problems. Sometimes, an error like...

While we're still going with our "OMG, is it still summer... School is starting when?" theme, today's post isn't really for the kids. It's to help you build awesome and cool stuff FOR kids. It's also a chance to share a free Visual Studio extension that will help you build stuff using one of...

For the past few months we've been highlighting projects and examples that extend Visual Studio in one way or another. Well today's post is the "Mother of all Visual Studio Extensibility Post." Why? When the examples come from the Visual Studio Product Team itself, that's hard to beat... :)...

Hi, I have replaced an IDE HDD with a cloned SDD on an XP SP3 (Asus motherboard) PC. The PC boots up off SDD ok after the error message "IDE HDD master not found press F1" and pressing F1. I'm trying to get rid of this error message. The Bios setup thinks the IDE is still in the PC even thought...

I'm in the IT department at my school and we have a room with about 12 computers that need CodeWarrior installed on them. I logged in as the administrator and installed this program which will make it available to all student accounts when a student logs in. However, later when I had a student...

Hey everyone! Some background info: I built my computer ~2 years ago and it worked fine for about half a year, until it crashed. Since then I've been unable to reinstall Windows and I kinda forgot about it... which sucks! So please help me get it up and running again :) Motherboard: GigaByte...

Hi, I believe one night my RAID driver crashed and now Windows doesn't see my array. Some History: One night I was trying to use Glassfish outside of Netbeans, but my website wouldn't work. So, I try to close Glassfish and went back to Netbeans because I know my site worked fine through...

Hello, will this controller work with Win 7 ? I can't find any drivers but maybe someone knows for sure. Thanks.
