Today I received an email from Softpedia letting me know, that they had added my applications, "DependencyFinder" and "WebMonitor", to their database/site.

I have no idea why, but I think its awesome! :)

Apparently they have tested my applications for spyware etc. so I am now "certified", they wrote:

"Dependency Finder has been tested in the Softpedia labs using several
industry-leading security solutions and found to be completely clean of
adware/spyware components. We are impressed with the quality of your
product and encourage you to keep these high standards in the future.
"

 certified

So now I have two applications on softpedia, sweet.

I have just published a 2. release of the Farseer simple samples / tutorial(s) on codeplex.

Check it out here

The new release includes the following:

Demo1
Basic application with a falling yellow box.

Demo2
Controlling the box with the keyboard. This includes the KeyHandler.cs from the original Farseer Physics Engine.

Demo3
This demo introduce Geometry and Vertices, which are used to keep track of collision between the two yellow boxes in this demo. The boxes have different mass.

Demo4
This demo adds a little more complexity as we here use an interface called IUpdateable. This is done as we now have two different types of classes that need to be updated at the gameloop. We both have the PhysicsBox from all the other demoes and a new FixedLinearSpringBrush, which is used to draw a line. In this demo you can click one of the boxes and drag it by moving the mouse and holding down the left mouse button.

Enjoy

As you might know, I created some small "simple samples" in silverlight 2.0 for the Farseer Physics Engine here on my blog. Today I have started putting them on Codeplex.com. I thought I would put them some place else then my blog, as more people maybe will benefit from them, and I have a nice work item/source controll for free also (TFS).

In the first release there is only one single project called "Demo1". It's showing you how to make the farseer engine run, as simple as possible. The samples also works a a kind of tutorial /tutorial, as there is pretty many comments in the code, where I try to explain why I do the different kind of things.

Today I got so mad at my VS 2008 I desided to fix this problem I have had for some time now. I wrote another blog post about it alittle while ago.

TODAY I FINALLY FOUND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM! :)

I found this blogpost about how to fix it. It is actually very easy to do.

Here is what you need to do:

Download "subinacl" here. This is a command-line tool that enables administrators to obtain security information about files, registry keys, and services, and transfer this information from user to user, from local or global group to group, and from domain to domain.

After installing subinacl.exe (it will be in the C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools folder.), drop to a command prompt and run the following batch file, which you have saved in the same folder with the filename "FIX.bat":

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.vbproj.9.0 /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.vbproj.9.0 /grant=users=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.vbproj.9.0 /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.csproj.9.0 /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.csproj.9.0 /grant=users=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.csproj.9.0 /grant=system=f

 

Enjoy!

 

UPDATE: I just found out that this only solved half my problem :( Before I couldn't create an new Silverproject or add an file to any project at all. I tried out this fix, and it solved the problem where i couldn't add files to an project. Sadly didn't solved my Silverlight problem...need to reinstall Vista I think...
