• Alexander Rust Shouldn't XDocument.ToString() output declaration?

  Shouldn't the ToString() method of XDocument output the document's declaration It doesn't. Here is some code and output: XDocument xDocument = new XDocument( new XDeclaration("1.0", "UTF-8", "yes"), new XElement("Root")); Console.WriteLine(xDocument.ToString()); This code outputs: <Root /> I think what he's saying is that strings are UTF-16; a .NET char always occupies 16 bits and so only supports one encoding. It only makes sense to talk about UTF-8 when writing or reading from a stream, or encoding to a byte array. This could be a red herring, though, in terms of the original problem. Joe (another Joe) But, that actual XML document could be output as UTF ...Show All

• Prajakta Chavan Can't see System.ServiceModel in Add Reference

  Hi: I've just installed the July CTP of .Net 3.0 and its accompanying SDK. However, when I attempt to Add a reference to System.ServiceModel to a project in VS2005, I do not see System.ServiceModel listed on the .Net tab of the Add Reference dialog.

• Alex Bibiano Security Pain (Vista basicHttpbinding)

  I am struggling to get my server running with the basicHttp binding over https on Vista (it is a self hosted server). The server starts up and doesn't complain but the client exceptions when I try to start it up: "An error occurred while making the HTTP request to https://192.168.1.64:8081/Server/G2SServer . This could be due to the fact that the server certificate is not configured properly with HTTP.SYS in the HTTPS case. This could also be caused by a mismatch of the security binding between the client and the server." My first question is whether configuring http.sys is required for an application running with the basicHttp binding (this help page implies it is only necessary for WSHttpBinding ms-help://MS.MSSDK.1033/MS.NE ...Show All

• Son_seph14 ListBasedPublishSubscribe runs the first time, then the Subscriber doesn't display any events

  I've tried running the ListBasedPublishSubscribe sample a few times. It ran properly the first time: The publisher console app showed that it had published its 5 events and the subscriber console app showed that it had received them. Now I'm getting the following error message from the publisher every time I run the sample: + $exception {"The sequence has been terminated by the remote endpoint. Due to a user abort the reliable session cannot continue. The reliable session was faulted."} System.Exception {System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException} I expect an SDK sample to run correctly every time. Any ideas why the ListBasedPublishSubscribe doesn't run reliably iisreset.exe fixes the problem temporarily but the ...Show All

• LynnOoi Disable Navigation Hotkeys in a WPF Navigation App

  How can i disable navigation hotkeys in a wpf navigation app For example the backspace key makes the app go back a page. I want to disable all such keyboard navigation. Thanks. -jgoines Thanks so much, overriding the command bindings works perfectly and solves my problem. The question of whether or not I should be using a Navigation app is an interesting one. I could probably mimic all my functionality using a normal Window, and programmatically setting the content of the window. However I do make use of PageFunctions and they are very convenient at times and I'd have to do some extra work to mimic that functionality. -Ryan How can I 'add an empty handl ...Show All

• Lborshard BUG? : XContainer.ReplaceContent throws an exception if attributes of the element are passed...

  and they already exist on the element. I am not saying it's a bug for sure, but if an element has an attribute, and you call ReplaceContent() on the element and specify the same attribute, you will get an exception. I tend to think it is a bug for the following reasons. 1. It has the same feel as the class constructors that allow multiple args to be passed. And, since when constructing an XElement you can specify attributes, it feels a little inconsistent that you cannot specify them when you call ReplaceContent. You could argue that attributes of an element are not considered content, but I think you could also say they are. 2. If you do not already have an attribute with the passed name, it will be added and handled properly. It ...Show All

• Lamon What's the best way to determine DSLs being used in a project?

  If there are multiple DSLs being used by a project, is there some way within DTE that will tell me whether or not a given ProjectItem is a DSL Thanks OK, further update. Seems there's actually an API called IVsUIShellOpenDocument::GetStandardEditorFactory() which given the file extension will get you the default EditorFactory instance. You should be able to look at this instance and see if its implementation type is derived from the DSL Tools base class for EditorFactory (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Shell. ModelingEditorFactory). This may save you some time hammering on the registry. Hi Aaron, I'm not aware of anything that would get you this, but I've asked our deep VS SDK ...Show All

• Tovdb Regpkg.exe errors while registering a LangaugePackage

  Hi, There is a weird looking problem with my language package. When I use "Regpkg.exe /codebase mylangpackage.dll", I get errors stating 'Could not load file 'EnvDTE version7.0.3333.0...........' So I looked up to find out that the VSLangProj.dll refers to the old version of EnvDTE which is 7.0.3333.0 I again found out about the binding redirect solution, so I created a Regpkg.exe.config and put the <runtime>bindingredirect xml here</runtime> (from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms228768.aspx ) in it. It still didn't work for me after this and I got the same error.
