i using asp.net 4.0 , mvc 2.0 web application. project requiremrnt have use server side control in application not possibl in noraml case. ideally want use adrotator control , datalist control. i saw few samples , references in codepleax mvc controllib howwver found less useful. can tell how utilize theese controls in asp.net application along mvc. note: please provide functionalities related adrotator , datalist controls not equivalent functionalities thanks in advace. mvc pages not use normal .net solution makes use of normal .net components impossible. a normal .net page use event driven solution call different methods service side mvc use actions , view completly different way handle things. also, mvc not use viewstate normal .net controlls require. found article discussing mixing of normal .net , mvc.

xna 4.0 - Design patterns for lighting in XNA 4.0 for Xbox 360? -

-

i wondering if has patterns handling lighting in xna xbox 360. trying implement spotlight component. have read deferred shading means of reducing complexity. have heard not idea xbox 360 , more difficult in xna 4.0 in xna 3.0. goal make reusable component encapsulates spotlight effect can used through game.

thanks,

deferred rendering allows apply lighting after world has been rendered.

  • it reduce complexity in sense not forced choose lights affect model before drawing (usually closest/most significant ones).

  • it can make translucency handling , anti-aliasing more complex.

  • it allows many lights applied, , move around scene, impractical forward lighting.

  • it requires several buffers present - geometry buffer minimum, normal , specular buffers helpful also. techniques exist pack such buffers, require more memory, , use bandwidth write to. means deferred rendering has greater front cost forward rendering does, provides more flexibility in relation amount of lights, , moving them.

  • starcraft 2, gears of war , other games use deferred renderer, proven solution.

  • it not different in terms of complexity under xna 4 here link showing implementation under xna 4. main difference if having explicitely store copy of z buffer rather accessing directly. http://roy-t.nl/index.php/tag/deferred-rendering/ , consider light pre-pass http://jcoluna.wordpress.com/

since want spotlight effect can see why you'd consider deferred rendering, i'm guessing spotlight dynamic. if haven't used deferred rendering before, i'd suggest exploring roy's link above decide if happy cost/complexity.

cocoa - Nesting arrays into NSDictionary object (Objective-C) -

-
i define tasks using nsdictionary, i'd save in plist file (i didn't have luck core data far), got stuck @ 2 points: -- when using initwithobjectsandkeys: can change data type number or boolean, using nsdate's numberwithint: , numberwithbool: methods, respectively. can't seem find method change type date though. couldn't find in documentation. -- second problem ran nested arrays. how can add them dictionary? i have uploaded picture here of trying achieve. thank in advance! do mean nsnumber 's +numberwithint: , +numberwithbool: methods, not nsdate ? it's nsnumber defines methods. to convert number date, depends on number is. if it's unix timestamp, [nsdate datewithtimeintervalsince1970:thetimestampinseconds] . as adding nsarray objects dictionary: [yourdictionary setobject:yourarray forkey:@"somekey"]; you'll have post code if need more question isn't clear.
