• .NET Development Parse XML that not start with <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

  Hello, I am trying to parse the response of a server the problem is that it doesn’t start with < xml version ='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' > It has rubish before the xml declaration. Does C# provides any method to transform the string in a correct XML document Thank you. > not start with < xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' > > is that a valid xml yet Some terminology first: we say that an xml document is valid , when it satisfies an xml schema or an DTD. Generally, xml documents are not required to have a DTD or a schema. In this case it is correct to ask if an xml document is well-formed . So, I interpret your question as whether the xml document is well-formed . Yes, in a well-formed xml do ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB6 -> VS2002 -> VS2003 -> VS2005 -> nowhere fast!

  So, the upgrade from VB6 to VS2003 was really painful when it happened. A positive thing to note about it is that when you do that one you get big lists of errors and warnings and things that you need to change. If you then take that code and try to upgrade it to VS2005 you get NO warnings and NO errors and, dang it, a lot of things just don't work. It's very frustrating... There was an error in vb6controls.reg with how it register the msflexgrid that shipped with vs 2002. If you registered the vb6 controls with this file that might be the cause of the error. See this msdn article about it. ...Show All

• .NET Development How to read the record data (byte array) while writing a Metafile (WMF/EMF) and edit it

  Hi! Need your ideas urgently! I have a metafile which I wish to convert to PDF on the fly. The idea is to create a metafile template with placeholder text, which will be parsed and replaced by user information at runtime before generating the PDF. When editing the metafile, I have progressed to the following steps: 1. Called the Graphics.EnumerateMetaFile() method, which calls the callback method (lets call it ‘Play’) 2. Called the callback method and obtain the record data public bool Play( EmfPlusRecordType recordType, int flags, int datasize, IntPtr data, PlayRecordCallback callback) { byte [] dataArray = null ; if (data != IntPtr .Zero) { dataArray = ne ...Show All

• Visual Basic Referencing a form object in a Mainapp.exe from a form in component.dll

  Hi I have a form class in a .exe assembly (Main Menu Form A) and I have (Sub Main Menu Form B) in a class library assembly. Problem: I am having a hard time calling the Form A from Form B via the menu button, because I can not reference a .exe assembly from a .dll assembly without getting a circular reference error. What I tried: 1. From Form A: I tried to pass to Form B a variable(Me) to be set as the parent or owner of Form B. Then I tried to call instantiate a form A and show it, but that didn't work because of no reference to form A. 2. I tried to hide Form A and then from Form B try to just unhide form A, but that didn't work. Any assistance would be appreciated. I have spent several hours working on this, but it is ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Outdated Work Items - Saving not possible

  Hello, We have found a little annoying problem with Work Items, especially when working with Scenarios and/or links. 1. Create a Scenario, save it, keep it open 2. Create a Task and link it to the scenario, save it, close it 3. Edit the Scenario and try to save Result: You're not allowed to save the scenario; you first have to refresh it (and lose your changes). Workaround 1) Always Refresh work items before editing them Workaround 2) Don't "Save" Work Items, close them and say "Yes" when asked to save Best regards, Martin If someone changes the work item and saves it while you are editing the work item and then you try to save it then you get the error message to first refresh the wor ...Show All
