• Visual C# Is there a way to access child node by name instead of location in XmlDocument?

  First I like to say that this is my first post here and I like to apologize if I post in the wrong place (please let me do where is the right place).

• Smart Device Development infrared!

IS it possible to do this how I cannot seem to find a way in the .NET classes as it seems you have to connect to the destination then write data to the stream. Thanks! I was working on conversion of the above article to C#, but eventually found th ...Show All

  In the past I've used Web Services internally and I've always passed objects.  But how do I pass an XML document to a third party   We've agreed on a schema, but I'm not sure how to represent the XML document in the method interface.  Although a string would work, I'd prefer to take the best approach.

Here's an interesting article that discusses a faster implementation of mutexes: http://www.codeproject.com/threads/opbmutex.asp   ...Show All
