• .NET Development Delete attribute

  How can I delete an attribute from an xml file. You can use XmlReader to read XML and XmlWriter to write it back. For simple tasks like deleting attribute this will be the best (from performance point of view) approach. It will be little bit harder to do then loading document and saving it back and because you ask very basic question this probably would be the best way to start for you. Most likely you miss '@' before attribute name or have namespaces in your XML. It's little bit tricky to use namespace in XPath. (see http://sinan.ussakli.net/code/xml-namespaces-on-xpath-queries-and-xslt ) If you don't have namespaces your Path would look like "/foo/bar/baz/@attName". Where ...Show All

  Sometimes the idea of using the debugger, can be intimdating to those unfamiliar with them. This is a tutorial based in a standard piece a source code that we will supply for the purposes of this tutorial. We're going to make a cheap MP3 player.

• SQL Server Slowly Changing Dimension Historical Attribute causeing same row to be reinserted

  I have a Slowly changing dimension that I am using to populate a dimension table. My problem is this when I run the package and any of the fields are marked as Historical Attributes it will add an additional row regardless of the fact that the incoming data and the data in the warehouse match exactly. I've tried several things to fix this problem but so far none of them have worked. Some of the things I have tried that haven’t worked are to match all the data types (which I have to do anyways) I've tried trimming the strings, I've also tried adding just one column I am using a data conversion to convert them from varchar (the source datatype) to nvarchar(the warehouse datatype) I'm at a dead end here and don't know ...Show All

• Visual C++ Resource compiler truncates text in dialog template to 256 characters

  Resource compiler (VS 2005) issues a warning if the text length in a static control exceeds 256 characters: "warning RC4206: title string too long; truncated at 256". AFAIK dialog template has no such a limit. Is this warning just a 16-bit legacy   This was not an issue until now - we always were able to rephrase a text to fit it in 256 limit. Now we are localizing our product. After translating to German and French the length of the text in many controls became longer than 256 chars and resource compiler truncated it to 256.   So we moved long strings to the string table and setup control text at runtime. The disadvantages are obvious: rather than just translate resources we must change source code and English ...Show All
