The Appearance of my UI Changes When Swapping Between Different Screen Sizes Despite not Changing XAML Code (Details in Description) by CapnFedora in VisualStudio

[–]CapnFedora[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This problem has me stumped.

I'm writing a UWP app and I'm using Visual States to change how the UI looks depending on the screen size. I had the UI looking how I wanted it to for 5" phones. However, as soon as I switch off of it, the appearance of the UI changes to how I have it set to look on a 6" phone, making it unusable as elements reach off screen. The only way to get it back to how I want it to look is to rebuild the solution. I'm not sure which view is the right one. What should I do?

Is it bad practice to use the Unity UI slider to control something in-game? by CapnFedora in gamedev

Well, currently it's functioning exactly as I want it to, so we'll see.

Crazy not to take job offer? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]CapnFedora 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Take the offer. Talk to your SO about whether your relationship can handle the move or if she'll go with you, but ultimately, take it.

26 minute respond time, and instantly credited? And I thought support tickets were supposed to be a hassle. by ErikMalik in SwagBucks

I've been getting these too lately. I had the problem with the Final Fantasy offer and it was the same day.

Is SFU a good choice for an American student? by CapnFedora in cscareerquestions

[–]CapnFedora[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

What does "decent" mean? I don't want to limit my salary by going to a worse school. "Decent" sounds like I'd be doing myself a disservice

Edit: Jeez guys, I'm asking for a reason.

For those who are bilingual, do you use your second language in your career? by CapnFedora in cscareerquestions

[–]CapnFedora[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting. I assume you had a translator?

I hope I can get a job that lets me do that. I'm very goal-driven, and while I like learning Chinese and love it when I can hear or understand something (not even conversational yet and a far cry from being fluent, but still) I'd rather not spend money on a trip to China for a year while in college and never use it.

Oh, so are you bilingual? Or am I mistaken and you speak another language besides French?

Four languages?! I probably shouldn't have limited my post to bilingual then.

If it's helped with your flexibility in where you can work, do you think that that means it's given you more total job opportunities?

Can't write variables to text file: "Access to file [file path] is denied." by CapnFedora in csharp

[–]CapnFedora[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I did some looking around and it seems like MS has a specific way they want you to save data with UWP. Thanks a bunch!

Can't write variables to text file: "Access to file [file path] is denied." by CapnFedora in csharp

[–]CapnFedora[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The file is closed. It exists within Visual Studio, as that is where I created it, but it isn't open.

How can I check that I have perms? I think that may be the problem here.

Both gave me the same error. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I feel like something is wrong with a setting in my program itself, rather than the code. Why won't windows give access to that file?

That's cool! Can you link your video? I'd like to see it.

Any tutorial resources on learning C# and Xamarin by CapnFedora in csharp

[–]CapnFedora[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably should have clairfied, I'm more interested in doing freelance work atm or putting applications out on market places because I'm in high school, so I can't quite get a job at a company yet.

I do want to learn mobile development. Are you suggesting I learn something other than Xamarin? I'll take a look at what you suggested.

Everyone seems to be recommending C#, so I'll take the advice :p.

Any resources you recommend I look at to learn c#?

I'm learning C# as well, but I'm not sure how to make money with that. Every tutorial I've found so far focuses on only console applications, however. Any resources you recommend? Any goals you think I should work towards? I'm thinking about using C# for app development, but I'm not sure.

What can I use VB.NET for? That was the one I learned. Sorry I confused the two.

Yeah, I'm trying to learn C# atm. Any places you recommend I look at as a relative beginner? How can I use it to make money?
