• .NET Development HTML Form to XML Document

  I am lost, I have been trying to figure out how to add a regular old html form to generate data onto a page saved into an xml document then transformed it through  a xslt to generate a news page.  I read an article on how "easy it was" to do however I know nothing about an XML DOM creation which seems to be like a brick wall to my progress.

• Visual Studio Intellisense for contained code blocks

  Hi, I am trying to get the embedded or contained code (contained in <script> tags in an aspx page) to be visible to my language service in order to get the intellisense features such as quick info, member select, etc. to work. I want to have the HTML Language Service work exactly the way it does now but allow my own language service to handle only the specified block of code specific to the language. This seems to be possible since the default languages such as C# has intellisense capabilites inside the script tags. For example: < script language ="C#" runat ="server"> protected vo ...Show All

  Hello, my name is Vinnie and i'm new at this forum and I know quite a bit VB2005 and I'm 14 y/o. I'm running a gameserver wich needs a daily restart.

• Visual C# Finding your application's root folder

  I writing a game application, involving a lot of bitmap images. Due to the size of the images, I can not use the ImageList (Not to mention the difficulty of finding the correct image among 50 others, using nothing more than the index.) The problem is, when the application is compiled, the images will not be compiled with it, so I'll have to know the path to those image files. As I want my application to be as mobile as possible, I don't want to force the user to place it in a specific folder (eg. "C:/Program files/MyGame/") Isn't there some function that allows the application to find out what its root folder is, so I can just use t ...Show All

• Visual C# Data Binding Architecture Question

  I am confused about the data binding architecture. As an example, let's say I have 3 classes: 1) an Employee class, which contains some basic properties, such as Name, Age, etc. This class employs the INotifyPropertyChanged interface. 1) the main WinForm class, which contains a series of TextBoxes. These TextBoxes are bound to an instance of the Employee class, by listening out for the PropertyChanged event. 3) Finally, I have a user control which contains an employee search facility, allowing a user to search for and select a new employee. The order of events will go like this: user selects new employee within the user control, ...Show All
