I'm using the SelectSingleNode method of the XmlDocument object the problem is that when the XML contains child elements of type comment this method does not work.

• Visual Basic compile both dll and exe

  how can i set up vb.net to create both a dll AND exe on the same compile and then also have the install project recognize both dll and exe and register (with COM) the dll on install at the users computer not only is it a pain to continually switch between the two types of projects for each update, but also a pain to maintain two install packages. thanks This what a solution is. A solution consists of may projects. To compile a dll with you project simply add the dll project to your solution. Be sure to set to identity the application as the Startup project in the solution explorer. Why are you doing this as COM Aslo did you know there is a component in VS2005 that will pack dlls into th ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. General strategy question about XNA

  What is MSFT's strategy with GSE I mean, is it a stripped-down version of GS Pro meant to spark interest in GS Pro Is it actually going the core of GS Pro, and the hobbyist/student community is acting as both first adopters and beta (or even alpha) testers of the product Is it a way for MSFT to foster some kind of indie/small game shop Xbox360 game development (The latter would seem to be slightly odd: the actual dev kits, I gather, are not a minor expense, in addition to what I'm assuming are certification and any other testing expenses; I would think that releasing an alternate path for Xbox game development might cannibalize an existing revenue stream...) It would seem to me to be just simpler to wait for GS Pro to come out, and l ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Pixel manipulation

  How do I change pixels in a bitmap I've only seen examples of creating new bitmaps from an array of values, but I need to be able to set pixels in an existing bitmap without the overhead of re-creating it from scratch every time. Can I lock bitmaps like with System.Drawing.Bitmap and manipulate memory directly Not in XBAPs of course, but for desktop apps I think you want System.Windows.Media.Imaging.WriteableBitmap I've never personally used it so I can't give you much more advice than that.

• Visual Studio Team System Major Modifications of Task.xml cause project creation failure. (process template is uploaded without errors)

  I am beginning to think that there are limits to the extent that the task.xml WORKITEM can be modified; I am guessing the problem resides in the generic tasks that TFS places in your "todo" list at the creation of your project. There seems to be no way to turn off the creation of these assignments when you create your project. My experience is that I can modify Task quite a bit; but as soon as I make too many modifications to the <TRANSITIONS> I will get an Exception (see below). I can even cut and paste from "Bug.xml" all my states and transitions that work just fine in Bug, but fail when imported into Task.xml. Additionally I have found that if I try to make my own field (MPRI.Common.EstimatedHours) requi ...Show All

  Hi all I have some trouble with Office (Excel) Interop integration ... I have a x64 Windows Server System.

• Windows Forms Parameter Query in TableAdapter assigns wrong type to parameter

  I have created a TableAdapter in the designer, and I have named parameters in the query. But the Fill and GetData methods that are generated are using the wrong datatype for one of my parameters. The query is in this form: select * from invoice where (@InvoiceDate IS NULL OR (DateAdd(d, -14, @InvoiceDate) < invoice.InvoiceDate AND DateAdd(d, 14, @InvoiceDate) > invoice.InvoiceDate)) The generated methods see @InvoiceDate as an int, not a DateTime. Is there a way for me to force it to recognize this parameter as a DateTime ...Show All
