• Visual Studio What is MSBuild?

  It would help if someone let on what MS Build is Siv Just one clarification here. > Also, the msbuild.exe command line environment will ship with the .NET Framework SDK 2.0. Actually, msbuild.exe will ship with the .NET Redist (the .NET Framework) itself . So you'll be able to build almost any managed project without even the SDK. Here's some exceptions that will need extra installs:    -- VC projects: you'll need to install the .NET SDK for this, or VS itself, or the Platform SDK, to get vcbuild.exe and the VC tools    -- msi deployment projects: not supported by msbuild, install VS and uses ...Show All

• .NET Development Transporting a newline character (\r\n) across a web service

  Hi, I had some trouble getting newlines to serialize across web services. I then read that a web service in .NET 2.0 adheres to a certain soap/xml standard wherein each \r\n character is serialized as \n. I've already written a string substitute class that overrides its own serialization and replaces the unix newlines (\n) back to Environment.Newline (\r\n). I was wondering if there is a better (cleaner) way to do this, e.g. some setting or tweak on the way objects are (de)serialized. The WS does not need full interoperability, so anything that would limit it to be used only on the .NET platform would be ok too. thanks, Stephane ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Reliable Transactions.....

  Is there a way to call a method at a publish endpoint and if that site is down, have messages queued so that when the site comes back up, those messages are sent all with out the client not caring or knowing   thanks Ralph Yes, using the netMsmqBinding. The service exposes an endpoint over netMsmqBinding, the client will be configured for the same binding. So long as MSMQ is installed on the client (and enabled) the client queue will be automatically created if the service endpoint is offline. ...Show All

The characters are just jammed, no paragraphs or indentations preserved. It may be fine with me for this task. My question is how to implement sting search in the control. Is it possible If it is not possible, I can do it in the source file and take the coordinates but how to find this pixel in the Editor window There are a number of methods I do not understand what they do.
