• .NET Development How do I insert a node into a document?

  Hi, I've been loking over the net but I never found any ways to insert node into a document that worked or that was doing it from an existing node. I always get that either the reference node was not in context or the node to insert was, it's getting frustrating because it should be simple. Here's my code at the moment: 'get the node given by the xpath Dim refNode As XmlNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode(xpath) 'clone the node Dim cloneNewNode As XmlNode = newNode.CloneNode( True ) 'insert node after that node xmlDoc.insertAfter(cloneNewNode, refNode) Cloning the node make it a fresh new one(or should ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Transparent Gifs

  I'm trying to get some gifs I have to show in a picture box, and have them transparent... But for some reason they still have a white background. Anyone have any tips on how to get the background to be transparent It shows on the form transparent, but now when I run it :/ Thanks in advanced! Depending on who made the gifs and how they were made.... If all layers were merged.. you'll get a white background. In photoshop you have to be careful to say...

• Windows Forms Search for a value in a DataGrid Column.

  How do you search for a value in the first column of a DataGrid For example, the first Column of my DataGrid is Called InspectionID. It's a hidden Column. Lets say the InspectionID is 50, I wish to search or scan or interogate the first Column called InspectionID to find which ROW has the value of InspectionID = 50. Then I need to make the DataGrid select that row. Keep in mind that the DataGrid may have 1, 5 or 50 rows of data. You will need to delegate the search to the DataGrid data source. For instance, if the dataGrid is bound to a BindingSource that supports searching ( ie, if BindingSource::SupportsS ...Show All

• SQL Server High CPU utilization on distributor and sp_MSget_repl_commands

• Visual Studio Any VSS addin sample that works?

  Hi, I have tried to create the sample C# VSS addin described here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/hcdf9zk2(en-us,vs.80).aspx but no event is being trapped. Actually, the COM component is not even registered. Any pointer to a working demo/sample Thanks in advance. O.k, I figured it out by myself. It was becuase of a line of code in my VSS2005 help file. ~IvssEventSample() { // Unwire the connection point (see Init) vssEvents.Unadvise(cookie); } My local copy of msdn has the same the code as above, but This destructor is empty in msdn online and crashing issue disappeared by commenting this ...Show All

• Windows Forms Control with fallback resources in satellite assembly can not be used with designer

  I have a control in an assembly that uses the following assembly attribute: [assembly: System.Resources. NeutralResourcesLanguage ( "de" , System.Resources. UltimateResourceFallbackLocation .Satellite)] Using this attribute, all resources (even for the fallback culture) are saved in satellite assemblies. In my example, the resources for the fallback culture are saved in the "de/" sub directory underneath the directory with the control assembly. The control assembly itself does not contain any resources. If I add the control to the WinForms Designer toolbox and drag it on the designer surface (e.g. a form)&nb ...Show All

• .NET Development Terminating Processes from a Windows Service Cleanly (c#).

  Hi, Recently, I have created a Windows Service in C#; that calls a process (writen previously in c). It starts fine, however im unable to terminate the process cleanly, when the Onstop() is called.   Process.Kill() works, but prevents my process from shutting down cleanly (loses data - that I need). Ideally I need to use the CloseMainWindow() method... but this does not seem to work within a service (as a service does not run an interactive GUI... and does not take advantage of the WM_CLOSE message)... Is there a way to send the process a signal; to enable a clean termination Any ideas Best Regards Rober ...Show All
