• .NET Development How to select XmlDocument root node with XPath slash "/"?

  XPath reference says that "/" returns the root node.  However, I can't seem to get it to work. Take the following as an example XML file: < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" > <employees>     <employee>         <firstname>John</firstname>         <lastname>Doe</lastname>     </employee>     <employee>         <firstname>Jane</firstname>         <lastname>Doe</lastname>     </employee> </employees> I initialize the XmlDocument w ...Show All

• .NET Development HTTP and HTTPS Over My Socket

  I need to be able to HTTP and SSL over my own socket (Socket class).  The big picture is that I'm writing a combined client and server for a protocol that sends XML messages via SOAP over HTTP and HTTPS with and without keep-alive and gzip.  I'd write a web service, but it looks like that won't give me sufficient control of the underlying socket.  With .NET 2.0, it looks like my life will be eased with SslStream, GZipStream, and XmlSerializer with XmlTypeMapping to help with SSL, GZip, and SOAP.  I think that only leaves HTTP for the non-SSL case. 1) Is there any .NET class that can make my life easier to do HTTP when I’m ...Show All

If I create my own layout manager, isnt it wasted if I upgrade to .NET 2.0 later Or is there any other alternatives/method to add Windows forms controls without setting position or location.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Todd @ Devdays in Amsterdam question (about bots on MSN)

  Hi Todd, On the devdays confernce today in Amsterdam you mentioned that to make a bot on MSN you could either go through the Partners, or you could also talk directly through MSN (but have some limitations then) and parse the send strings yourself. Now browsing the forums and the messages about the Bots I see no where mentioned that you can also do it yourself WITHOUT using these partner platforms. Could you clarify how and where I could download an SDK to talk directly to MSN myself and setup a bot Thanks in advance, Reinier v Vliet There is no SDK to talk directly to Messenger.

As soon as a class from the library is instantiated, before its constructor is entered, i get a BadImageFileFormat exception with the message: " is not a valid Win32 application Needless to say I agree with the essence of the message but I fail to see why such a fact is stopping my app from running.

• Visual C# server client data send problem

  Hi. I am able to successfully connect the client and server together using the Sockets/tcpclient/tcplistener and able to send messages between each other successfully. the problem is this: when the client sends "[-]RF[-]" to the server, the server checks the incoming data, if it is "[-]RF[-]" then it sends back to the client the file name, for each file in the current working directory of the server. after each filename, it sends that name back to the client, the client should recieve it... and it seems to do this. however, it seems as if the client is recieving this in 1 big long string.

• Visual Studio What files to store in Version Control?

  I'm brand new to Visual Studio (I have version 2005). I've created a project (solution I'm not sure of the difference) and I'd like to know what files I should store in my version control system, so someone else could check them out and use them. By the way, the version control system I'm using is NOT SourceSafe. I'm sure there's some documentation on this, but I can't find it. I would imagine I don't need all files in all folders, right So what should I save and what can I ignore Thanks. -Dan Dan, By default, your solution and projects will try to save the appropriate source files.
