• .NET Development XML deserialization problems with invalid hex characters

  Hello, In the document at [1], I am experiencing the problem described under the heading "Deserializing Invalid XML". I am receiving XML documents that contain escaped characters that are technically invalid in the XML spec. I am using WSE 2.0 Service Pack 3, so I have no control over deserialization myself (or at least not without writing a input filter of some kind). I do have control over which strings are serialized (I also write the client). Does anyone know of a solution to this problem Thanks. Mark, Thanks for your answer. Number 1 would indeed be the solution to go with. However, it's *my* WSE 2.0 cl ...Show All

  Hi, i have a component which scans the spooler of a printer. in Framework 1.1 it works fine but in 2.0 i got the following exception when i open the printer: PInvokeStackImbalance was detected Message: A call to PInvoke function 'Dornbracht.Odis.Server.PdfPrinter!Dornbracht.Odis.Server.PdfPrinter.Spooler.PrinterSpooler::OpenPrinter' has unbalanced the stack.

• .NET Development How to get the left digit value?

  Hi Is there any function is available in Managed C++ to get the left side value of Integer value for example, that function should return the interger value like this... leftvalue(19,1) = 1 leftvalue(25,1) = 2 Assume leftvalue() is proposed function. Thanks in advance Jose  Hi, If my memory serves me right, then InStr() - gets the location of a specified character(s), Mid() gets a substring. If thats the case then: String^ test = "Microsoft"; // INSTR() int idx = test.IndexOf('o'); //Mid String^ str = test.substring(1, 5);   cheers, Paul June A. Domag ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Datasource config wizard

  When I try to add a new datasource in the IDE using the wizard, I'm prompted to add a new connection. The default datasource is "Microsoft Sql Server Database File". If I click change datasource, there is no option for "Microsoft Sql Server". Since this option is present in VWD Express but not in VBEx, I'm wondering if this is by design or if there is something I can change to make this accessable from the ide. I can create the connection and datasets in code but then I waste a lot of time rewriting code that the IDE could create for me. Many thanks in advance, Kevin Vogler Hi Kevi ...Show All

So far, the CreateToolWindow2 method would work, if I want visual Studio to create the usercontrol (I think it uses reflection). But in my case, I already have the usercontrol instance and I just want to pass e.g. the reference to the toolwindow method. How does that work ! And another question: The GuidPosition parameter in the CreateToolWindow2 , what's that for ! Is that for Visual Studio to remember the position of the toolwindow ! An ...Show All
