C# Slideshow screen saver with transitions

[Ebucel]

I need to create a screensaver that detects the resolution of one or 2 monitors and then selects the correct picture for that resolution and then uses transitions to make it like a slideshow with only one picture.

I didn't have a problem getting the screenresolutio n detection working. I just can't seem to figure out how to get the transitions started/working.

Thanks in advance.

Well, there's not really a question there; you've effectively given us a status report on your project.

You need to actually ask a question. But bear in mind that we can't (won't) do or design your project for you. We can help you with specific programming issues, but if your question is "help me do image transitions" we won't be able to help. Now if you have a specific problem with transitions, by all means, ask a question and the experts can have a go at it.

as insertalias said, we dont do your work/projects for you, now if you have a little code sample of yours you are struggling on, it is necessary to post the part you need help on, with a *specific* question, not just hey, help me with this. please read the Posting Guidelines before posting another question or thread, and welcome to the bytes.com as i notice your post count.

Okay, I want to put in transitions but I'm not sure where to start. i.e. I wanted to use the Dirextx transitions I can't seem to even get them into the program. If you can't tell I am very new to using the environment. I was under the impression that something like this "DXImageTransfo rm.Microsoft.Wh eel(duration=1, spokes=20)" would work in c# but I can't seem to find the reference to add to use these transforms on the pictures.

If you could point me to the right reference to add I'm sure I could figure out the rest... I hope.

I also, if I again did not make this a small/exact enough question and it still seems as if I want you to code all of my project for me.
I'm sorry.

i'm not really sure, i think xna is replacing directx, so i would look into features for that.
