• .NET Development custom xml output with web service

  I have a web service that is returning single value. It's working fine, however, I'd like to do two things: (1) add to the output so that multiple columns are returned from the SQL query the web service performs and (2) return the output so that the xml tags are what I want them to be instead of < string xmlns ="..."</string>. Basically, I'd like for the output to be something like: <mydata ...> <customername>asdfas</customername> <location>CA</location> <creditlimit>10000</creditlimit> </mydata> ...where those columns are in the SQL statem ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can I add a user defined Language? (AFX_TARG_MYLANGUAGE)

  Hello, We are implementing multi language for a couple of our products, and one of our developers was wondering if it would be possible to add a user defined language. The reason for this, would be that we could make different screens / layout in the same language, but for different clients. The combobox on the dialog after "Insert Copy" in the resource editor should list this entry, otherwise we would have to manually edit the .rc file to copy all the entries and add the define in there ourselves. Or would we be better of making a copy of the DLL, and change the screens in there I suspect that you woul ...Show All

• Visual Basic dynamically adding resources with the My.Settings object

  Hi, I recently had a client request that the column widths he set for a list view should be persistent, so that each time he opens up the application, the widths appear as he left them.  This was accomplished in Visual Studio 2003 by dynamically writing the column widths out to a config file using XML.  As the list view was being used many times within the application in conjunction with various controls, entries were added to the config file at runtime.  It was not practical to define these entries in the config file at design time. More recently I have been upgrading the application to .NET 2.0, and I have no ...Show All
