• .NET Development Need Help: Suggest an approach!!

  I have this typical data dump in the form of .CSV file I now need to generate an XML which conforms to a specified schema. The key highlight of the schema is that it has elements defined as complex and simple types consisting of either attributes or values or both . Some of these elements are repeating as well. For example within an xml you may have: < searchcriteria keypath = " UID " >XXXX-XXXX </ searchcriteria > < searchcriteria keypath = "contenttype " > "word document" </ searchcriteria > I tried a couple of approaches including looking at out of the box ...Show All

• Windows Forms multiline datagridview cells?

  In beta1, datagridview cells could contain display multiline data by default. In beta2, the data is shown on a single line with some control characters. (1) Can I set the cells to display multiline (2) Can I replace the control characters with something else (eg a double space) to make it look a little more professional Thanks For me it is the contrary case. I would like the datagridview to wrap not only for CRLF, but also for any text that is too long to fit in the cell., but it only wraps the CRLF. (I set the autosizecolumnmode is Fill and the autosizerowmode is All Cells) Anyone can help ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Code Analysis Policy Problem

  I added "Code Analysis" policy type in to check-in policy and removed some rule from Code Analysis Policy Editor. Then I open my solution and click "Migrate Code Analysis Policy Settings to Solution". I saw all rule is enabled in Code Analysis of Project. I don't understand why "Migrate Code Analysis Policy Settings to Solution" does not remove some rule in project Eagle Tsui wrote: No body can help me I want to know this is a bug or by design. I think it's by design, but I'm not a big fan of this design. The Migrate function will only turn on rules in your project, it will never turn rules ...Show All

• Windows Forms The order of files returned by the OpenFileDialog

  I have a question about the order of files returned by the OpenFileDialog. I have four files (File1.txt, File2.txt, File3.txt and File4.txt).  In the OpenFileDialog I select them in the order of: File1, File2, File3, File4.  However in the OpenFileDialog.FileNames array they are in the order File4, File1, File2, File3.  If I select them in the order File4, File3, File2, File1, then in the array they are in the correct order (File1, File2, File3, File4). Why, and is there any way they can be forced to be returned in the order selected, or at least alphabetical order I’m using VB .NET v7.1 and .NET Frame ...Show All

• Visual Studio MSBuild error: Failed to map the path

  I’m trying to use MSBuild to build my web solution (asp.net 2.0). I’m using master page for structure consistency across the pages. I put the following codes on the master page: <!--#include virtual="/sites/nav/includes/header.inc"--> ). When I ran MSBuild.exe to build the solution, I got the following error: " Failed to map the path "/sites/nav/includes/header.inc" , this doesn’t make sense since the header.inc file is sitting under IIS virtual directory folder (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\sites\nav\includes\), for some reasons, the compiler just could not find it. Is this a bug in MSBuild or something rela ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to use DataGridViewControlCollection in place of Control Array of MSFlexGrids

  Hello, I am learning VB2005 by rewriting a large VB6 program. My VB6 program used loads of MSFlexGrids in a single Control Array. Control Arrays are out with VB2005 so I was looking at a way of using DataGridView controls in the form of a collection. The MSDN documentation points in the direction of DataGridViewControlCollection but I cannot decifer how to add DataGridViews to form a collection and then how to access each one in a similar fashion to my VB6 Control Array. My VB6 program loads the MSFlexGrid's in this simplified fashion: For I=0 to MaxFlexGrid With MSFlexGrid1(I) Code to load cells Next I Is the D ...Show All

• SQL Server Execute Package Task always Fail When ExecuteOutOfProcess = False

  Why does the Execute Package Task in SSIS always fail when set to execute in-process Having ExecuteOutOfProcess = False always results in that the package fails when run from within BI Studio. I have also tried it from Command Line using dtexec., same results. The problem with setting ExecuteOutOfProcess = True all the the time and running from within Bi Studio is that an enourmous amount of processes is created, none of which die because SSIS runs in Debug mode, another problem which is there doesn't seem to be a way to run it in Release mode so as not to get so many Dtexec processes, which ultimately results in having the Ser ...Show All

  Under our AD we have a user called triage, created with the intent that this user will be logged in during the morning war-room meetings where dev and qa meet to discuss new bugs and what to do with them. I'm trying to set team system to auto-assign any bugs with status of New to this triage user, but whenever I try to verify the xml through the witimport tool, I keep getting the error: '[domain name]\triage' is not a valid user or group name.
