• .NET Development SelectNode - create if does not exist

  I am looking for a slick solution for this scenario: Input to a method should be an XmlDocument, an XPath expression and a string value. The inner text of the node found by the XPath expression should be set the the string value, if the node is not found it should be created first. The creation of the node is the biggest challenge here and I wonder if there is a good solution or functions which I am missing which can help me to accomplish this. Currently I put many restrictions on the XPath expression to make it work (no complicated queries: no back and forward, no search expressions). If the expression would be, e.g. /Root/Node1/Node2 I would split the expression by the slashes and navigate forward node by node and create one if it ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System deploy/schema compare scripts - Option for checking IF EXISTS

  My scripts need to check for existence of tables, columns, etc. before creating or altering. My procs and functions need to check existence and drop if they do already exist then create. Is there any way to control script preferences to accomplish this Gert was, I believe, pointing out that the recommended model for how you work with Team Edition for Database Professionals is slightly different from the way you are using it. Your approach can work, if you put your scripts under the scripts folder, rather than treating them as database objects, but it's an alternate approach. The recommended approach is that your schema is represented as a set of objects that you work with as CREATE (or ALTER in some ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista UISpy and IE6

  I'm working on UIA specifically with web pages for AT purposes. I can access IE6 via UIA, and get the page contents. However if I try and view the same in UISpy, it shows no contents for the page, just a couple of nested document controls with nothing therein. Behaviour is identical with Firefox. If I use the control-mouse thing to try to select an element within the page, UISpy just reports that the hierarchy is broken. However my app detected no obvious problem iterating the entire document using treewalkers and/or FindAll. Help! Am I doing something silly with UISpy It would be v helpful if I could get it to work usefully, as there are some issues with the automation I still need to resolve.

• Visual Basic Windows Service using Web Service

  I am having a heck of time debugging my Windows service that uses a web service. My Windows Service worked as expected if I was not calling the web service async methods, but the web service didn't do so well. My Windows service will work for a few minutes and then I get .NET Runtime 2.0 Error Reporting error.

I have tried attaching a debugger, but it failed because the process ended. I have placed try catch around everything that is dealing with the web service to try and get some kind of idea as to where the problem is. Should I only be using the async methods if I am expect ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista State workflow bug

  Can anyone else verify this bug https://connect.microsoft.com/wf/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx FeedbackID=171215 It's very basic - a state workflow won't correctly handle HandleExternalEvent if it's in an EventDriven which is at 'workflow' level, rather than inside a specific state. It will handle HandleExternalEvents if they are inside a state & eventdriven though. I have an example file if anyone wishes to look. I think you means "whereas they expect CustomerHasPaidDebt .." I see what you mean - the interface and implementation event names have to match up. I had not noticed I'd changed it. Odd that the EDES does not throw a exception that could be handled.. how did you manage to spot that Many thanks e ...Show All

• Visual C# How to check Windows start-up time?

  Is any class, where I can get the system start-up time, or I have to use event logger Environment.TickCount Property The value of this property is derived from the system timer and is stored as a 32-bit signed integer. Consequently, if the system runs continuously, TickCount will increment from zero to Int32.MaxValue for approximately 24.9 days, then jump to Int32.MinValue , which is a negative number, then increment back to zero during the next 24.9 days. So, depending upon how accurate you need to be, you may prefer a call to GetTickCount64 . ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development RunOnceEx Broken w/IE7?

  I was curious to find that our installer failed to update our BHO on systems with IE7. I trailed it down to the RunOnceEx keys (see kb 232509). The keys added by our installer were ignored. They work fine on systems without IE7. I moved the keys to RunOnce, and that solves the problem. I'd prefer to use the RunOnceEx, but I was mostly just wondering if this is a known problem, and whether it's by design. Thanks, - Henri Hi, Same probleme too... I suppose that Microsoft would release an update or a new release of ie7... i hope for it! ...Show All

  Hi all! I just finished a simplified version of a swm loader component based on the classes in SpaceWars. I used X-Tatic's converter to transform the tiny.x model into swm http://astaroth.beatbuggy.net:8080/Downloads/x2swm_1_0_0_1.zip I sent the sources to www.xnaspot.com  , hopefuly, they will put it online soon.
