• Smart Device Development Cannot add multiple menu items _and_ treeview hung

  Thanks :) another Q if you don't mind, how many menuitems does the .NET 1.1 support if i add an 8th item, or there abouts, it throws me a null reference exception when it's loading the form (or some other exception) but as soon as i take it out, it's fine! it also appears that if i delete a couple of menu items and add a new menu item, it will still throw the null reference exception :( so I can't really add/remove and add a menu item on my app form one last Q: the main one: if i put a treeview on a form and populate each item in an arraylist (string) into the treeview... it hangs straight away! This is even if i create a new project, a ...Show All

• .NET Development Sucessfull validation (using XmlReader) of a crazy file?

  The current recommended way to validate an XML file is by using schemas stored in the XmlSchemaSet . "The namespace in the XML file, urn:bookstore-schema , identifies which schema in the XmlSchemaSet to use for validation." But if you have to deal with a XML file without a namespace you have to add it's correspondent schema to the schemaSet using null/nothing. Like this:             sc.Add(nothing , "books.xsd") And it works. But if, after that,  you try to validate a crazy file with a different namespace fie and a completely different format, you still get sucess! (Although yo ...Show All

• SQL Server ADOMD.NET 8.0 dependencies for connecting to both AS 2000 and AS 2005

  I've got a C# application developed with Visual Studio .Net 2003 which uses Adomd.net (8.0) to access cubes on SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services as well as SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services. In the MSDN reference page I noticed that I can set the connection parameter "ConnectTo=Default", and now, after installing the SQL Server 2005 Client Connectivity components, I can make connections to both AS2K and AS2K5 from my development machine (XP SP2). However, I can't figure out the dependencies to make this work on other systems. On another XP SP2 system (pretty bare-bones), if I install either the SQL Server 2000 or 2005 Client Con ...Show All

  Can anyone point me to a *good* resource that describes making my 3-tier remoting app secure I built the thing already and it works great but it has no user awareness.
