• .NET Development Moving child nodes in a schema

  Hi there, I need to change the position of child nodes in a schema programmatically, so that, for example, the last child of a given parent node becomes the first child. How can I go about doing it Thanks a lot for your help. Pancracio Martin, thanks a lot! I will give it a try. Cheers, Pancracio Martin Honnen wrote: One way is to manipulate the schema with the DOM meaning you read it into a System.Xml.XmlDocument with the Load method, then look for the element you want to change and then you can do e.g. elementNode.InsertBefore(element.LastChild, element.FirstChild) Here is a complete example, if the schema looks like this: < xs:schema xmlns:xs = " http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchem ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB.NET and Design Patterns

  I have implemented the Observer and Decorator pattern for the middle-tier of an application I am writting and after making the changes performance dramatically worsened. Has anybody experienced the same behavior Does it have to do with all extra objects created I am at a loss since everybody does nothing but praise the practice (Design Patterns) but I've had nothing but adverse results. Thanks for your help, Danny The only thing I think might have done it is that I left the observers to be just an object, instead of specifying the type. So when you have Obj.observers(0).observers(0).observers(0).theproperty there might be a degradation in the casting I was thinking about that today as I was leaving work, so I'll try ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 360 deployment question

  I have a question about the 360 deployment. (I don't own a 360 right now, so that's why I'm asking... I'm planning on getting one this summer.) I know that you need GSE on your computer to deploy it to your 360. But once you have it on your 360, can you unplug, pick up the console, take it to someone else's home (or just disconnect it from net), and still play the game or does it require an active connection to the desktop Sorry if this has been answered recently, I haven't kept up-to-date with XNA over the last couple months (since beta 1) and I'm just now getting time to get back into it. thanks, XNA Launcher verifies that you have a valid creators club membership every time you try to run it.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA GSE Hangs

  I've had some problems where XNA GSE likes to hang after I hit the build button. There's nothing perceivable that is going on, it just sits there. The output window doesn't show a thing. Then, several minutes later, it builds normally. This doesn't happen all the time, so I'm not sure how to reproduce it, but it's really really annoying. I have regular VS2005 installed on my computer and it runs and builds without incident. I'm using WinXP SP2 with GSE/VS SP1 installed. with no noticeable symptoms, honestly, I'd just uninstall/reinstall C# Express and GSE to see if that fixes it. Aside from that, I'd look into whether you have an overzealous virus protection package or desktop search tool ... if so, you could exclude the build output ...Show All

• .NET Development Mht Email (Html Archive)

  It is possible (out of the box) to send Mht email now in .NET 2.0 I've taken a look at LinkedResource & AlternateView and I'm able to send out emails. However, there is no documentation on what is going on behind the scenes. Mike, It would be nice if one could load (from file) and assign (from an in memory stream) a .eml formatted file. This file could in turn be multi-part. ...Show All

• Visual Basic ClickOnce autoupdate question

  I have an application that I published to a local network folder with ClickOnce. I set the autoupdate option to check once every 7 days. If I publish an update of the same apps and same network folder , do I need to keep the old version in that same path, or do I have to remove it first then publish, so that it will automatically pick up the new version Thanks Andrej. I'm going to assume it is safe to delete the old version and publish (don't want the old ones taking up space and create confusion) and autoupdate will still work. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Restrict Access to databases other than through TFS

  Hi, I am faced with a critical problem. We want to ensure that all the changes made to databases by developers are source controlled. Source control can be achieved by using TFS with VS DBPro. But users can use the same authentication (as they would know the userid and passwords) to make modifications in an offline DBPro project or through enterprise manager as well. Is there any way (by means of events raised in TFS etc) by which we can ensure that all database changes are through TFS, so that they can be tracked and source controlled We cannot totally restrict access of developers. They need to have ddl_admin rights on database objects in Development servers. Kindly give some suggestions as to how to solve this problem. Th ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is it possible?

  It's not going to be possible to make any games using XNA until August 30 correct It's Aug. 15 and I downloaded the free thing already and they said it has a drag and drop interface but I haven't been able to do anything new and the only thing from XNA in my start menu is ARM Explorer but I can't do anything, I'm really confused. If you dont know much about C# these few weeks give you time to learn. And if you know C# start on Managed Direct X. C# Express is a free download from Microsoft and so is the DirectX SDK. Check out learn-XNA for some links to these things and soon some orginal tutorials ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Messenger ClientID/ClientCode

  I'm using a third party component to integrate MSN Messenger functions into one of my own applications, and this component makes reference to a ClientID/ClientCode which at presents emulates the data sent by MSN Messenger itself when signing on to the MSN Network.

• SQL Server Can anyone explain this processing schedule

  Hi, I have a fairly complicated cube which has: 74 Measure groups Each measure group contains 12 partitions = 888 partitions in my cube I have a parameterized XMLA processing script that processes 2 partitions in each measure group - i.e. 148 partitions. It does this inside a <Parallel></Parallel> element. When I executed the XMLA script I recorded the progress in Profiler. I saw that, prior to processing the 148 paritions, there was lots and lots of "Progress Report End" EventClass records with a message of: Finished processing the ' <partition name> ' partition There were actually 518 of these records so whatever it is doing, it is not doing it for every single partition.
