• .NET Development Go to the beginning of a xml file with xmlreader

  How do I go back to the beginning of a xml file with xmlreader and using j#. Thanks XmlReader provides a fast forwards only pull parsing model. You can't go back in that model. If you want to navigate back and forth then XPathDocument/XPathNavigator can do that for you. If you also need to edit the document then XmlDocument allows navigation and editing. ...Show All

• Visual C# Howto display partial class files as child items in solution tree

  Hi, I'm splitting up some of my classes into separate files because these classes are partially generated. An example of the structure is: - MyClass.cs - MyClass.Generated.cs - MyClass.Constants.cs Now, in the solution explorer, I see three items for this one class, while I would like to see the two latter files as child elements of the first one, like this: - MyClass.cs - MyClass.Generated.cs - MyClass.Constants.cs just like we see with the designer.cs and resx files for forms. As I have quite a few of these classes, having several files listed at the same level for one single class makes it unwieldy. Could a ...Show All

• .NET Development Locale of ThreadPool's Thread

  Is there any way to modify CurrentCulture/CurrentUICulture of ThreadPool's threads OR to set the default values of these properties for every thread created within a process Rizwan Sharif wrote: What I want to achieve is that all threads within a process should have same CurrentCulture . This culture will be set based on the users preference. I want to acheive this consistency of culture because there is some code which will be executed either on UI thread or TP thread depending on the situation. Do you mean the user's Windows preferences When a .NET application starts the default locale for all threads is the user's Windows locale preference. If you're providing a custom method for the user to ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) cross compatability of dlinq based assemblies

  Hi there, we're looking at using DLINQ as a DAL externally referenced in a seperate assembly from the mail application. The main app being written in vanilla C# 2.0 and the DAL compiled using the DLINQ specific compiler, leading me to my question: Can I add a DLINQ compiled assembly as a reference to a c# 2.0 project I think I can but it'd be nice to get some clarification..... thanks in advance! Tom You may need to include the LINQ/DLINQ assemblies that were referenced in your application for the inheritance tree, but otherwise, you should be able to work with the 3.0 built assemblies in a 2.0 client project. Most of the LINQ magic is syntactic sugar built directly on top of the 2.0 framework. The Lamb ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions User permissions SQL Server Express

  I have a VB 2005 Express application using SQL Server Express. I have SQL Express installed on my server and can access my database on the server from my local machine using SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP.

• .NET Development Does it anyway that I can use .net 2.0 to generate an XML Excel Workbook

  Does it anyway that I can use .net 2.0 to generate an XML Excel Workbook. Does Microsoft have an object support for that If does, how If doesn't please show me the way. Thanks You can use XmlWriter to create any XML so it is possible to create an Excel XML with .NET 2.0. It however needs detailed knowledge of the Excel XML format (respectively the Office XML format as there are elements used in several namespaces). If Excel is installed then it might be easier to automate Excel to create a workbook and then save it in the Excel XML format. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Problem with locking documents.

  I am trying to automate some letters. For example, I have a drop down box used to select the type of document I want. The document will then load, with tags where customer information can be added. By entering a customer number, a DB is searched and returns and fills in all of the information. There is then an option to create an image of the final document. All of this works fine, except in one instance. If I were to select one type of document, complete and image it, and switch to a new type of document, and image it, the image becomes locked and will not unlock. This is not a problem if I do not switch between different letters. Anyone have any ideas Given this isn't a VSTO specific question you'll pro ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Need to Contract an IE7 Addons Developer

  This is what I need the addon to do: - allow user to browse certain domains/web sites with specific agent settings (e.g., browse a particular web site with IE6 agent header instead of IE7 agent header) - having a hard-wired list of sites is acceptable, but I would prefer that the user can edit the list and for each domain specify from a pre-determined list of agents Please contact me at: lakanen at gmail.com For someone who knows how to write addons, I imagine this will be pretty simple. I'm a programmer but don't have the time to do this myself right now -- so I'm willing to pay someone to do it for me.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Numeric performance on 360

  A question for the framework/VM guys... I have ported one of my simpler benchmarks to the 360, and find that the numeric performance is running 5x slower than my 2.8GHz P4 desktop. Now I was expecting a drop in performance on the 360, allowing for the difference in CPU implementation (in order execution / branch prediction etc), but nothing like this magnitude! The benchmark simply transforms a source array of Vector4s to a destination array of Vector4s, using a 4x4 matrix. Have you guys done any benchmarking of pure numeric perf, and if so is this in line with what you get Andy. Hey dude I've noticed similar things today - my number crunching stuff (procedurally creating a world from some ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 DW and BI Features comparison to SQL server 2000

  Dear all, I am developing a proposal to my company, which is a microsoft select client, for introducing SQL 2005 to a new BI project. The company already has SQL 2000. I would like to have a full tabular format of SQL 2005 DW and BI Features comparison to SQL server 2000 (SSIS, AS, RS). Most of feature enhancement paper has only tell what is new but not tell about what is already existed and how much it is improved (in quality and quantity). Yes, tabular format is more useful. I tried to search through microsoft.com, technet but still cannot find the relavent one. Would you please give me a web link Best regards, CJira Dear all, Where should I ask this kind of question Please sug ...Show All

• Visual C# An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property

  I know you have all seen this one before, for which i am sorry. But I can't figure this out. I am not sure if what I am trying to do here will even work in the end but this is my first project and I am learning as I go, so please try not to laugh.
