• .NET Development Append at the end of an existing xml file?

  I got an XML file, and I want add new data to its end, how I'm able to do that I use appendChild and save to do all my nodes creation and saving.Using .NET 2003 That is part of the C# syntax to write string literals. If you do not use a string literal then you do not use it. For complete file paths it is helpful as instead of e.g. "C:\\windows\\file.xml" you can code e.g. @"C:\windows\file.xml". The C# syntax for string literals is explained on MSDN . ...Show All

• .NET Development Aspect Oriented Programming techniques - intercepting calls to properties/methods - how?

  I'm curious to know how aspect-oriented programming tools for .NET are able to work. In other words, how do you intercept a call to a property getter or setter, or to any other method Is it possible to use reflection and the Emit namespace to read an assembly and replace it with another assembly that is identical except for a few extra method calls before and after what was previously the method body Does this need to happen in a linking step (weaving multiple assemblies together) or could it be done dynamically by replacing an in-memory assembly What restrictions does the CLR impose on reaching into an AppDomain and making in-memory changes to the MSIL there Is it able to re-JIT changed methods Dan O ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista UnauthorizedAccessException when using MSDTC

  Hello everyone, We have a 3-tier application, the client, the server and the databaser server. It was developed using C# 2.0 and .Net 2.0, the database server is MS-SQL 2000 and we have some MSMQ in there. All 3 are located on different machines. The client is Windows XP SP-2, the application server is Windows Server 2003 SP1 and the daatabase server is also Windows server 2003 SP1. Most of the time when the client performs an operation to the application server the database gets updated and something is written to a queue. The writing to the database and queues is performed in the context of a transaction, we use the System.Transactions facilities and MSDTC. When the server performs the writing operation it 'impersonates' ...Show All
