• Visual Studio Express Editions Un-escaping XML?

  Hi, just playing around with some XML stuff in c# and have a problem un-escaping a SQL Connection string... The XML is as follows: < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" > <dbSettings> <connectionString> User ID = ****;Password = ****;Integrated Security = False;Initial Catalog = CMS;Data Source = vaio\sqlexpress </connectionString> </dbSettings> I'm using a nodeiterator and fetching the required node, but when I read it back out using NodeIter.Current.Value.Trim() the backslash between "vaio" and "sqlexpress" as been escaped so I get "\\" - which obviously ...Show All

• Visual C# how call SIMD or XMM Intel/AMD assembler from C# ?

  I want to optimise my code by calling into assembly language so can make use lot of advance SIMD and XMM in Intel/AMD processor. Is it possible in C# version 2 any work around for version 2 (w/o PInvoke) How nice if its provided in version 3. Thanks I’m sorry but the only way you are going to access that sort of native/optimized code is through a p/invoke. Remember, only .NET compatible languages are executed within the CLR, something such optimizations would not be, and in such a case the CLR and your code is removed from the processor and your native code is put in it’s place because of the p/invoke. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Changing activities Id's

  Hi. I have an application that embedds the workflow. In some point of the application, I let the user change the activity Id through a custom form of mine, but that seems to generate a problem. When the user changes the Id, and then drags another activity of the same type to the workflow, it throws an exception saying that the activity already exists. The code that I write to change the activity ID is quite simple: activity.ID = "someNewID"; //Perhaps I have to do something else after this code... I'm with the Beta 1. Any clues Thanks in advance. Hi Matt, In order to make sure that each newly added act ...Show All
