• .NET Development Neither XmlReader nor XmlTextReader are able to process my XML file

  Hi, I am not able to use the XmlTextReader class in C#, as it is not able to read DTD entity codes, and I can't use the XmlReader because it returns bogus AttributeCount/HasAttributes values. In other words, I'm stuck. I started by using the XmlTextReader, which works nicely until I get to XML that uses DTD entity codes. I needed to use the XmlReader.Create() method and pass an XmlReaderSettings object into the constructor - with ProhibitDtd set to false. This worked, but now I get plainly incorrect results for the HasAttributes and AttributeCount method/properties. AttributeCount is returning 1 when reading the following element: "<gloss>readability</gloss>". Not only that, but the 'HasAttributes ' property returns true while ...Show All

My crystal ball tells me you're working in an Excel VSTO 2005 project. you drag the DateTimePicker from the toolbox onto a sheet. You change the one property from false to true. When you press F5 to run the project in debug mode... What doesn't show the DateTimePicker control Or the checkbox And what "dropdown property" do you mean There is no such property in the Properties window Do you mean arrow at the right to display the full calendar FWIW, when I follow the steps above, the DateTimePicker control is visible, as well as ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Special treatment of ActiveX controls in Vista high DPI mode?

  I have a wierd problem. Our application, written in MFC, uses an ActiveX control, also written in MFC (VS2005SP1). If I change the DPI to 144 on WinXP our app handles this fine and everything is scaled as expected. If I change the DPI on Vista and also check the "Use Windows XP style DPI scaling" it also works fine. If I change the DPI on Vista and do not check the "Use Windows XP style DPI scaling" our application was initially scaled by Vista and worked as expected. So far so good. Now we would like our application to look nicer and use the real DPI. To accomplish this we call SetProcessDPIAware() when the process starts (first in InitInstance). Then Vista no longer use the automatic scaling for our ...Show All

• SQL Server Relative date ---'Rolling 3 months' --help please

  Hi, I need to add special relative date categories in SSAS that similar to the functionality offered by Cognos/Powerplay.

• .NET Development Shared ownership of an IDisposable object.

  Hello, Recently while writing a Managed DirectX project, I was in the situation where I wanted to share textures between several objects. Textures (like many other MDX classes) implement the IDisposable interface, so I need to call Dispose() on them when I'm done with them. Obviously one object can't call Dispose() on a texture if it's still being used by another object, which leads me to the situation where Dispose() can only be called when no other objects need the texture. I'm from a C++ background, so to me this suggests that I use a reference count, e.g., like boost::shared_ptr , but I was wondering if there's an accepted .NET design pattern for this situation that I should use instead Thanks for your advice, Peter Hi Salvador, ...Show All
