My intention is to either: a) extract text from them so I can create a table of keywords that will later be used in keyword searches. b) if one exists, to use a builtin keyword search function.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Getting started with the XmlFormatter

  I'm moving to using the WCF because the Xml rendering capabilities of .NET 2.0 don't support cyclic output (without writing it all myself). Specifically, I have a class structure that has the cyclic references and I want to serialize the classes out to a file on disk. It will then later be loaded and code execution will continue where it was left off. In my old (abbreviated) code: System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer writer = new System ...Show All

  Hello...
