• .NET Development searching through an xml document

  I'm creating an application that needs to search through a large xml document for any text matching what the user has entered. Can anyone please tell me what would be the most efficient way to handle this as the xml file is fairly large (20mb) Many thanks I've decided just to use XmlText Reader as I don't need much functionallity. private void userSearch() { XmlTextReader xReader = new XmlTextReader("c://catalog.xml"); while (xReader.Read()) { if (txtSearch.Text == xReader.Value) { listBox1.Text = xReader.ReadOuterXml(); } } } No info from the xml file appears in my listbox though. I placed the xml file just inside the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. New Analogy for Materials?

  I'm starting to screw with lighting in XNA and I'm hitting a brick wall trying to get my mind out of the fixed-function paradigm (which seems even worse for me since I've yet to stumble across an OpenGL->XNA FAQ, the best I've found is some MDX->XNA). My latest problem has to do with finding a new metaphor for materials. The 3D tutorials aren't helpful in this department, and I've been unable to find any information on the forums. The migration guide ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/xna/migration/ ) says that Materials are gone; how does one define the lighting traits of a mesh now Let's say, for example, that I want to take the cube demo (where each face is a different color) and have each surface wi ...Show All

• Visual C# Debug Setting question - Stepping into DLL???

  I'm sure this is just a setting that someone can point me to. For some reason, when I reference my dll in a new project that I had built inside an entirely new solution, and then step through the project, it steps into my dll!! I don't want any windows popping up showing my users my source code. How do I stop this from happening Actually this is a very useful feature for a devloper and it's not only .NET that does it, VC++ does it too. One example is that you start the project from outside VS, it crashes and you attach the debugger to it. When you attach the debugger it does not have any solution/project loaded but it's able to find the source if you have it on your machine. Perhaps I should explain how this really works. When you ...Show All

  Hi All, I an new to the .Net development (I used to work in VB6). I have a Problem updating a database and I can not figure out where the problem is situated !! On a form I've placed a datagridview linked to a sponsor table. I can see all the records and I can ADD new records to the database bu when I try to modify or dele a record I always get an error telling me I can not convert a String to an Int32 .

• Visual Studio Team System Trying to move source causes weird error
