• Visual C++ Visual C++ lagggggggg

  I am currently looking into which language I should stay with, I feel like C++ is being abandoned and C# is being moved in. What do you guys feel is the better language for game development and 3D tool design, ie CADs and etc. Hello There,   I completely agree with you with the changing scenario it is clear that C++ is being abandoned and C# being promoted.

• Smart Device Development VS 2005 seems to require a focus on a form

  When developing my vb program in vs 2003, I was apparently not required to focus on anything on a form if I didn't want to. So on a form with nothing but a few buttons used for the purpose of calling other forms, I could use this code to press ESC and close the form: Private Sub LocMenu_KeyDown( ByVal sender As Object , _ ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase .KeyDown If e.KeyCode = Keys.Escape Then Me .Close() End If End Sub Someone helped me write this code, and I don't understand the implications of "MyBase", but in any case, I could press simply press ...Show All

• .NET Development Can XmlWriter validate against schema also? (.NET 2.0)

  Hi, I know that XmlReader can validate XML data against XSD. Is there an option to use an XmlWriter which can validate its data as it writes it In .NET 2.0 there is a new push model validator called System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaValidator with methods like ValidateElement(string name, string namespace,...) and ValidateAttribute(string name, string namespace, ...) which you could easily call from your own subclass of XmlWriter, it also has a handy method called GetExpectedParticles which tells you what is expected based on the current state. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Webtest for Web Services

  Hi, I am testing a Web Service using the VSTS webtests. I created a webtest, adding a web service request to it and entering the xml string to be passed to the service as the string body. When I use validation rule, "Find text", I get an error "The values cannot be NULL". The validation does not occur. Also I am not able to pass any XML/text document greater than 32KB in the string body. Is there a limitation or an alternative to this Thanks, Potluri It sounds like WebTestResponse's BodyString property might be returning null and causing that error in the validation rule.  What's the content-type header ...Show All
