• .NET Development top-level param default value is ignored

  Hi, I have the following line right after the output element in my xslt file: <xsl:param name="selectedColorScheme" select="'default'" /> I set a breakpoint after this point so that I could check the value of "selectedColorScheme" and it shows up as null instead of the string "default". If I change it to a variable instead of a parameter, it works. Unfortunately, that doesn't give me the flexibility of passing in an override value. Am I missing something here Fair enough and I have now confirmed it using the following scenarios. 1) No reference to the param. -- The param statement is skipped and the value is null. 2) Param referenced later in a top-level var ...Show All

• Visual C# how to get value of finite element?

  If i want to get 5 in this example: /item/<slash:comments>5</slash:comments>, just using: XmlNode xnd = doc.SelectSingleNode("/item/slash:comments"); ...then.... xnd.innerText; i had tried "/item/comments" and "/item/slash:comments", neither of them works fine.how can i get 5？ oh,cannot find forums for xml/xpath, I assume then that "slash" is a namespace.  In that case you are in for a world of hurt.  The XPath parser requires that if you are going to parse documents with namespace prefixes then you must first define all the namespaces for the parser and then you must ensure that all queries for all elements use all the namespace pre ...Show All

• Visual C++ Compiling DirectShow source code from MS Press: missing mmstream.h

• SQL Server The 4000 character limit for expressions

  I am building rather large SQL statements using expressions and I am about to hit the 4000 character limit. First, what were the reasons for setting such a low limit With it in place you are forced to come up with other solutions, but perhaps that was the intention. Speaking of limits, what are the limits for storing a value in a string that is defined in a package configuration file What are the limits when creating a string within a script task and then use it to set a string variable in the package What are the limits when using a string value as an input parameter to an Execute SQL Task using OLE DB Do these differ depending on the connection type I guess I'm getting a bit paranoid about limits, but I don't want to hit any other ...Show All

• Visual Studio Cannot Edit a Macro: "Class Not Registered"

  Hi; I'm trying to edit a macro that I've recorded in VS 2005. I have been able to edit macros before, but not now (for some reason unknown to me). I've fixed this problem before by performing a repair reinstall, but I want to know what is at the root of this problem, as repair reinstalls tend to take up a lot of time. In Macro Explorer, I right-click on TemporaryMacro, click on "Rename" - and I renamed it to Macro01 - OK - no prob. I then right-click on the macro, click on "Edit" - and nothing happens. I also did the following: Tools > Macros > Macro IDE ... ... and I get a message box, with the error message "Class Not Registered."

• Visual Studio Express Editions ClickOnce Data Files are Lost!

  Hi, I have an application that I deployed using ClickOnce.  The application was Installed on user's computers and it included two CSV files.  The application is working fine, but now I want to add an additional function.  The users need to save the CVS files to a floppy or memory stick, exchange them with other users and load other users data files on their systems.  I thought that they could use Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder wher the CSV files were stored and copy them to a floppy or memory stick, but I can't find the files on that were installed.  In fact, I can't even fine the installed application!  Where, oh where does ClickOnce install these files I obviously do not kno ...Show All

• SQL Server sqljdbc DriverManager.getConnection Hangs after mirror failover.

  When performing a failover the DriverManager.getConnection method never returns from it's call. I used a modified version of the test program included in the sqljdbc help file (below). If the principle server is server2 and a failover is performed, the program works just fine. If the priciple server is server1 and a failover is performed, the hang occurs. The sql servers are not on a domain, are in the same workgroup, have certificates setup between them.  Sqljdbc version used is 1.1.1501.101.  I rolled back to version 1.1.1320.0 and the DriverManager.getConnection exceptioned.  Not sure if this is a setup issue or a common problem. Anyone have any suggestions or seeing similar issues Thanks - tc Version 1.1.1501.101 - Syst ...Show All

• SQL Server Email subscriptions: changing "from" address for different subscriptions on same server

  I doubt this is possible, but can someone think of a way to change the email address used for sending report subscriptions based on the report or subscription It's a need that I've heard from a number of different clients. Scenario: a company has one reporting services server with reports running from numerous departments. Report subscriptions are sent to internal and external email addresses and there's a business need to use different "from" addresses based on the report (or audience). Unfortunately this isn't really possible without doing some messing around. You can make a call to the RS WMI provider to change the SenderEmailAddress value, but you would have to synchronize the code making ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Extension Methods / Property conflict when they have the same name

  I have a question regarding how properties of the same name as an extension method are resolved. In the following example, i'd like q3 to compile. I understand the compiler might have issues with the name conflict, but there is a valid extension method, and the compiler is getting hung up because there is also a property. It can resolve it if i explicitly supply the generic type as in q4 - Why can't it be smart enough to do it for q3 List < int > nums = new List < int > { 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 }; int q1 = nums.Count; // works - uses the property on List<T> int q2 = nums.Count(); // fails: 'System.Collections.Generic.List<int>.Count' is a 'property' but is used like a 'method' - doesn' ...Show All
