• SQL Server loading XML

  I am trying to load many XML files into SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition. Each XML file contains many individual XML items, each starting with: < xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" > The files do not have a .xml extension. I do have a schema for the data. I can also get hold of a dtd file for the data. Since I am new both to XML and to databases I have been trying to follow examples wherever I can find them. I have not found the right example or tutorial. The closest that I found was in Kirk Haselden's book (a very nice book to learn from, by the way). On page 73 he sets up an OLE DB Source. His example works fine. But when I try to use XML Source instead of OLE DB as the source, I cannot get it to work. A typi ...Show All

• .NET Development XPathNavigator- cannot use XPath functions...

  I'm trying to evaluate an xpath using XPathNavigator. My xpath uses the XPath function current-time(). When I call the Evaluate() method, it throws an exception complaining about XsltContext: Namespace Manager or XsltContext needed. This query has a prefix, variable, or user-defined function. I've tried associating a namespace with the function as below: XmlNamespaceManager mngr = new XmlNamespaceManager ( new NameTable ()); mngr.AddNamespace( "fn" , @"http://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-functions" ); expr.SetContext(mngr); It still complains about XsltContext. I would expect this if the function was user-defined, but this is a standard XPath function. Does anyone know how to evaluate XPaths ...Show All

• Visual Studio Internal Error 2908 {7D4B5591-4C80-42BB-B0E5-F2C0CEE02C1A}

  Gentlemen, I got a problen when I were installing the .net framework. The error message is "Internal Error 2908 {7D4B5591-4C80-42BB-B0E5-F2C0CEE02C1A}" Is there anyone can help me to figure out what it is Thank you ! Geoffrey Two possible solutions: 1. Remove mscoree.dll from system32 directory. Reboot not necessary. This should solve the problem. 2. Uninstall beta version. If you get the same error when uninstalling the beta version... go to beta folder and rename it to a different name then try Office2003 Installation. If both of the above does not work, then the only other thing I can think of is to uninstall all of products related to HP including drivers. HP is known for bu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to install C# and C++ Express into the same IDE

  I downloaded an installed both visual C# and visual C++ express edition on to my compter, they both installed and are working fine, EXCEPT they installed seprately, both made their own IDEs, i thought i was supposed to be able to access both from the same IDE, getting the choice to amke a c++ or C# project, but instead I have to go into seperate programs. I think it has some thing to do with that i overrode the default install location to intall them on a external HD. How would i go about merging them into one ide (i am ok with renstalling form scratch) The express edition are separate products from different teams inside MS. It is not possible to consolidate the IDEs into a single one. You will ne ...Show All

• .NET Development TransactionScope committing without being told to!

  I ran into a huge problem using TransactionScope. I've been using it inside some classes that manage persistence to a database. I intended to use System.Transactions so that calling classes can wrap my persistence manager classes in a transaction scope and thereby control whenther or not a transaction commits or not. The persistence manager is blissfully unaware that the transaction it uses internally is being controlled by an external transaction scope. Here's an example of my problem: public void Test() { string conString = "Data Source=localhost;" ; SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection (conString); con.Open(); this .DoDatabaseStuff(con); con.Close(); } public void DoDatabaseStuff( SqlC ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Blend modes not supported in WPF?

  Are blend modes not supported in WPF With the recent release of WPF/E and the new CTP's for the Expression tools, my interest in WPF has rekindled.  However, after searching the Web and Newsgroups it seems that blend modes are not supported in the WPF.  I'm not quite sure what the rationale behind leaving this feature out of WPF was. (Purhaps time constraints )   I'm sure the developers on the WPF team know how to program support for blend modes.   It's pretty much well documented on the Web.   I've even written a few for a custom layering application I wrote for .Net 1.1. a year or so ago.   It's odd that they took the time to program support for filters such as drop shadow, blur, and reflection, but not ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How Do I Determine The Currently Visible Area?

    I'm building a 3D game and currently have everything working, but I'm in the process of optimizing my framerate.  The world in the game is many times larger than the screen/window.  How would I go about determining the world coordinates that are visible on the screen   Even though the objects outside of the viewport are clipped, the draw code still has to translate (and rotate) the meshes in the objects (many of which will be clipped).  It would be much more efficient if I could just not process meshes that will be outside of the screen.  Thanks!   Darkside, That was the solution, but I just verified that it was a few minutes ago (Had a chance to ...Show All
