• .NET Development highlighter?

    Hi. I have a string. I have extracted some things from it, really using regular expression to do a match. it works great I want to know now, since this text will be displayed after words (the entire string) is it possible to highlight the matched words in the string (highlight = color/bold) I will be writing this in either RTF or html I just want to know how I can detect that through out the string if the matched words exist then for each match word, find the word in the string and when found highlight it. possible Thanks! There is no builtin mechanism to do what you want but it is pr ...Show All

• Architecture Design Patterns

  What is the usage of common GoF design patterns in daily coding I ask this because as a developer I'm constantly trying to improve both my code and my overall design, to create software that's easy to maintain and easy to extend--- hopefully easy to change without effecting the 'client' aspect through the use of interfaces etc--- Is there a more straight forward application of certain design patterns For example, does anyone sit down and actually implement a bridge pattern in their code--- you read about it a lot, but only in academic articles, you equally read of people who find them absolutely useless most of the time... I don't think I ...Show All

• .NET Development BIG problem with huge storage procedure execute on SQL Server 2000 SP4

  Hi! I have a big problem with one of my storage procedures.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is the pseudo SQL syntax necessary?

  Current LINQ syntax is like this: var upperLowerWords =         from w in words         select new {Upper = w.ToUpper(), Lower = w.ToLower()}         where w.StartsWith("a"); But I think that this is unnecessary breeding of C# with SQL. I believe that combination of methods with lambda calculus would be better: string[] words = { "aPPLE", "BlUeBeRrY", "cHeRry" }; var selectedWords = words.Select(    w => {return w.StartsWith("a")} ).Collect(    w2 => {return new {      Upper = ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) "yield enumerate"...

  (Slightly off-topic, but it at least deals with enumerations.) Lately, I've found myself using the following pattern: public IEnumerable<T> Foo(IEnumerable<T> values, IEnumerable<T> moreValues) {     foreach (T t in values)    {       yield return t;    }     foreach (T t in moreValues)    {       yield return t;    }     // more yielding }   For example, if I want to maintain the sanctity of values, but catenate another set of values (checksums, e ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Multiple vsmdi files

  Hi, We are getting multiple vsmdi files.Everytime someone runs a unit test the solution is automatically checked out and a new vsmdi file is created using the naming pattern MySolutionName1.vsmdi, MySolutionName2.vsmdi, etc. I've compared the files and they are the same. They live in the solution root and always have. The workaround that we have is to undo checkout on the files in question and then it works fine unti one next restarts the IDE. Any ideas anyone else getting odd behaviour with vsmdi files I've C&P'd the XML contents below:   < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" > - < T ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) "late binding" communication and more questions

  I have several more basic questions concerning indigo: 1. Does the WCF provide a way to communicate to a slick way to communicate to a web service which is discovered during runtime. As an example: somebody provides a WSDL and an operation he wants to call from this service as well as a XML message he sends to the service and a XSL that he wants to apply to the response message. Currently I do something like that with a manual HttpWebRequest. Is something like that possible with WCF in a better way or is the contract/a known interface a requirement for WCF communications 2. Is WCF supported on the Compact Framework or will it be 3. ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem using dates in XMLtoFLFF Transformation

  I am having a bit of trouble transforming a XML (xs:date) type to the DBDATE in my FLFF. I believe the problem is because the SSIS DF (Metadeta) converts xs:date to DT_DBTIMESTAMP which becomes 01/01/2005 00:00:00 -- appending the time. So when I try to transform in my fixed length flat file, it throws a truncation error when the length is set to 10. (which is the length of date) Is it possible to (A) use some other xs format that changes DF Metadata to only use date and not DT_DBTIMESTAMP, or (B) is there a field type in the destination FLFF Connection that will allow a length of 10 without throwing a truncation err ...Show All
