• .NET Development Serializing an Array

  Ive been trying for 3 hours to try and serialize an array.  First as an Arraylist, then converting the arraylist to a normal array then serializing.  Actually the serializing seems to look OK, all the data is in the file as it should be *i think*, but the deserializing is causing problems. ACProfileData is a class that contains properties, strings, ints, etc. xml = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ACProfileData[])); sw = new StreamWriter(AppSettings.appPath + "\\aircraft.xml"); ACProfileData[] array = (ACProfileData[])Aircraft.ToArray(typeof(ACProfileData)); xml.Serialize(sw, array); sw.Close(); xml = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ACProfile ...Show All

• Visual C# Why it is?

     Why Microsoft called # in CSharp rather CHash Regard, Shaji Kumar.V.K From http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/productinfo/faq/default.aspx : It's not the "hash" (or pound) symbol as most people believe. It's actually supposed to be the musical sharp symbol. However, because the sharp symbol is not present on the standard keyboard, it's easier to type the hash ("#") symbol. The name of the language is, of course, pronounced "see sharp". ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't add domain user to TFS groups

  When I select "Add Windows Users or Groups", it only shows the local machine, I can't browse to the domain, and can't add user in the form "Domain Name\User Name". The machine has already joined to the domain and the current user is the TFS administrator (also Domain Admin). How can I add domain user to TFS groups Thanks! While this may not specifically be your issue, since you have your dc on the same box as the AT I wanted to make sure you were aware that we've seen issues reported where AD was installed AFTER IIS, etc.  We've posted some documentation that says that you should install AD right after the Windows install. marc ...Show All

• Visual C# Email Verification

  Hi everyone,    I have a question relating to email verification. One of the things I do is run a couple of websites, I allow people to sign up for my newsletter and have several opt in forms (where people leave their details and get what ever I'm currently offering for free). About 10% of the people who leave details are leaving *** data - this obviously means that when I send out a mailing my bounce rate is 10% + This is acceptable for my service provider but it makes my stats meaningless.
