• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Querying xml file without loading it into memory?

  Hello, I am new to Linq and was wondering if it can be used to query an xml file without loading its contents into memory. I have a big xml file (~100MB) and would like to perform queries on it such as counting the nodes that have some attributes set, etc... If I use the XElement.Load method the whole contents of the file is loaded into the process memory. So is there a method that can be used to achieve this I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks. Unfortunately, no. There is no such technology for querying xml files without loading them. I suspect you are looking for something that would load only relevant portions of the file, or some kind of moving window that would enable you to query the whole fil ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How Large Can A WPF XAML Browser Application Be?

  We are looking at ASP.NET 2.0, WPF installed applications and WPF XAML Browser Application for developing our new product. This product can easily have 500 forms. Can the WPF XAML Browser Application technology be used for this type of application Is it realistic With ASP.NET this is no problem. Load the page, fill in and post. I was concerned how long this application would take to load. Have I missed something Thank you and have a great day, Karl Sure, an XBAP can be used. I don't believe we put in a size limit on XBAPs. I think for a large app as you mention (any flavor, not just XBAP), you may need to architect the app such that the size does not impose an unnecessarily long wait during activation. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Another publishing problem

  Hello, II have written my first VB 2005 Express Edition program and want to put it on a CD so that it can be installed on other computers that may or may not have and internet connection and may or may not be running the same Windows version.

• SQL Server package with a custom component (log provider) runs in BIDS, but doesn't run where deployed.

• Windows Forms DataGridView problem: Painting takes 1/4 of a second.

  Hello I have some problems with DataGridView . I have one TabControl with two tabs. The first one contains a DataGridView and the second one contains other controls. The DataGridView has its DataSource property connected to a DataTable . This table is set up with 20 columns and has 100 rows. The problem is, when I select tab 1, the DataGridView needs 1/4 of a second to finish its painting. This is really annoying. (Reducing the number of rows does not solve the problem) Is it possible to come around this delay somehow Kind Regards Hi Yes, I see the delay. If I resize the width the delay gets event larger. If I make a full-screen (1280x1024), it takes 0.6 seconds to finish. (Then I have 42 rows and 12 c ...Show All

  Hello all! Is it possible to add to DTD an attribute that contains a GUID. This GUID must be unique as ID typed attributes in DTD. However ID typed attributes must begin with a letter, which is a slight problem for GUIDs. Thank you beforehand. Some options you may want to consider: Use only GUIDs starting with a letter (A–F) Prepend all GUIDs with some letter Do not rely on DTD: declare that attribute as CDATA, and check for uniqueness yourself Use XML Schema as an alternative Hope it helps, Anton ...Show All
