• .NET Development Validating XML using custom XmlReader

  I wrote a custom XmlReader derived from XmlTextReader.  It implements a SAX-type parser that allows me to call one method on it to parse the entire file, pushing events to my handlers. I want to use this as a validating reader, but I can't set the XmlSettings on it, they're read-only.  If I create a reader with XmlReader.Create passing it my custom XmlReader class and the XmlSettings, I can no longer get to my custom XmlReader methods because the returned XmlReader doesn't expost my class. Under .NET 1.1, I simply wrote a custom XmlValidatingReader, but this is deprecated.  How do I go about this under .NET 2.0 ...Show All

• SQL Server Enhancement: SSIS Designer

  Not quite sure if this is the right place for this comment... While using SSIS Designer came across a DUE where the package was setup to: SEQ1 - Truncate staging tables SEQ2 - Load staging tables (sequence container had been setup to hold multiple data flows) For some reason one data flow was run before the truncate table sequence. Looking in the designer it appeared that the dataflow was a member of SEQ2 but looking at the Package Explorer it was outside the sequence container. It would be good to have some visible indicator to show that a task is a member/not a member of a container John. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Disable editing in data-bound controls

  Hello, I have a .NET 2.0 windows forms application with some TextBox controls and a BindingNavigator on the form that are bound to a BindingSource. The BindingSource has a DataView as the DataSource, and when I change the DataView AllowNew or AllowRemove properties to true or false, the BindingNavigator immediately reflects the changes, enabling or disabling the Add and Delete buttons. However, I can always write on the TextBox controls, independently of the value in the AllowEdit property. Does anyone know how to enable and disable the editing on the controls in this situation Thanks in advance for any hel ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Debugging program that won't start

  Whenever I try to start my program, I get a dialog box saying "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022). Click on OK to terminate the application". With the debugger, it does the exact same thing, giving me no opportunity to find out what is going on; if I try to break it once the dialog box is up, I get another dialog "Unable to break execution. Please wait until the debuggee has finished loading, and try again" The only vaguely informative piece of information is a message in the debug window: "Debugger: An unhandled non-continuable exception was thrown during process load" ...Show All

• Visual Studio What are the limitations of the "Export Template" feature ?

  Hi, I want to create custom templates for projects and items. I used the great "Export Template" feature but some limitations appear : - I don't manage to limit the scope of an item to a specific project (I tried to set the TemplateGroupID property of the project..., .vsi file...). - Set the build action of an item based on an item template.
