help on running tv samples

[jos_t_tarigan]

ah sorry, i posted this on 6.3 while im using 6.5. here is part of the original post:

hi,

recently i just downloaded tv sdk. i also downloaded samples from this site:

http://tv3dsamples.blogspot.com/2008/04/tutorials.html

i tried to test the spinning cube example but it wont work. it compiled without errors and it ran but there's nothing drawn on the window. just a blank plain grey window. any1 know what happened? what is the minimum requirement for tv3D? how can I solve this problem?

im not sure what happened but im using a very old notebook and it has no VGA Adapter. is that a problem? Im sure the code is running because I can breakpoint on the rendering loop, its just nothing is rendered on the screen. the window is there, its just nothing in it, just a gray background. does anyone know why this is happening? I've read the doc and i'm pretty sure i already got everything installed properly.


thank you

update: i just downloaded the full sdk, open the modelviewer, it ran but it has the same problem: the whole buttons and guis are there, but when i load a TVA, nothing is rendered on the middle screen. im not sure why. any1 got any hint?

Okay, What Language are you using VB.net, C#, VB6 and or C++? Which Tutorials have you downloaded?  Oh, also if using VB.net or C# are you using Express 2008 or Express 2010?

If you are using 2010 you will need to update them to use Net framework 4.

Here's an example:
This example is for VB.net, but C# is basically done much the same way.

you will need to update from 2008 to 2010 make sure you use a copy of the project so you have a backup handy. 

add an app.config file to the project after the update wizard gets done. replace the initial contents of the app.config file with the following. Just a simple copy & paste.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
    <supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322"/>
  </startup>
</configuration>


Then after you have saved the changes (click on the X it will ask if you want to save the changes), go to the solution explorer and right click on project. (open It)

1 (Application tab) is Enable application framework checked? If not do so.

2 (Compile tab)  scroll down till you see advanced options and click the button. Check to see if the bottom two drop downs say (Auto  and .NET Framework4 Client Profile (or just .NET Framework 4))
  If so Click ok, then close project tab in the IDE and then do a build, a save all under file menu, and try to run the program again.


What I saw on the site.  Is it 04 per pixel Lighting tutorial in VB.net or  C#?
