• .NET Development how to use \r,\n in the xml

  hi , I am having problem when i am specifying \n,\r in the xml file. I am getting \\r,\\n value in the c# .how to specify to get exact value of \n,\r in the xml. pls anybody know for this solution pls reply me asap. thanks rajan It's not clear from your question do you want string '\n' or character "new line" (ASCII code 10).

To insert character with code 10 you can use numeric entity - &10; XML processor should/may "normalize” white spaces in attribu ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't find SSIS ???

  I have VS2005 and have been using SQL 2000. I installed SQL 2005 Developer but I can't find SSIS anywhere. It is hard to start even the first tutorial if I can't find the program. Was it supposed to be installed with 2005 Developer Help! Thanks in advance. Chuck Did you select to install Integration Services and the development environment.

• Visual Studio Team System Updating Assembly Version Information

  Hello, I am looking for a way to automatically update the version information for all projects in a TFS Build.  I have downloaded the AssemblyInfoTask from GotDotNet to take a look at it. Although it works fine for local builds I'm not sure how to use it with TeamBuild - or if it can even be used with TeamBuild.  Since the AssemblyInfo.vb (or .cs) file has to be checked out first I'm not sure how to implement this in a TeamBuild script. Has anyone had any success with getting this custom task (or any other task for that matter) to update assembly version information in TeamBuild   --- Thanks, Jeff   C ...Show All

• Windows Forms Limitations to FlowLayoutPanel

  I am using a flowlayoutpanel control to display a list of controls and it seems to only show the first 149 properly. Then it seems to chop the 150th in half and not show the rest. (My test case involves adding 395 buttons to a flowlayoutpanel). I was wondering if there was an express limit on the number of controls I can add to the panel or if it's a memory concern. Also, can I change the number of items allowed Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Liam Hi Liam, Based on my test, there is no known issue for this limitation. This may be caused by many possibility. e.g. Memory, GDI h ...Show All
