  Heres a question for ya, lol. I'm working on a paint application and would like to incrporate a tablet support such as Wacom in them. All the research I do on it point me to the Tablet PC SDK.

• .NET Development Typed DataSet and WriteXml question about Namespace

  Ok, I have a typed DataSet that was generated from an xsd schema using xsd.exe. The xsd schema is owned by a standards organization, so I can't modify it. The generated code sets the Namespace property of the DataSet (e.g. http://www.std.org/xml/name-space ). This controls the scope of elements read from an XML file when calling ReadXml and the file is read correctly with appropriate rows populated. Now, if I turn around and call Write ...Show All
