• .NET Development XPath and case sensitive problems

  Running xpaths against a xml doc (comming from a mssql server) and having trouble with case sensitive letters. I have tried to use the xml translate funktion, but it would need an exact match in the DB anyway. If I look for the name John and it is typed JohN in the DB I get nothing. Is the only solution to 'wash' the data in the DB. Are there any work around to make a xpath query non case sensitive  XPATH 2.0 (next version) has functions to deal with case-insensitivity, but unfortunately the current version does not. Your option is to try to incorporate a 3rd party solution such ...Show All

• Visual C# Getting name of cd in cdrom

  I can use the Directory and DirectoryInfo to get every bit of information about the files contained on a CD in the drive.  I can use the DriveInfo to get all the specifications about the CDRom with the exception of the Name assigned to the actual CD.  The best I can get is the Drive letter and volume label.  The volume label is not always the same as the cd name.  For example, I have my bluetooth driver CD in at the moment.  The name is KensingtonBTW.  The volume label is something like 09893-0933.  I have been unsuccessful finding a way to get to the "KensingtonBTW" name.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Vista Beta 2 IIS7 setup

  I've just upgraded to the new Vista Beta 2 build 5384 and am unable to get any of the WCF samples provided with the SDK to run.  I'm pretty sure it's just an IIS7 setup issue. From reading around i've seen a few sites recommending that i add a MIME type mapping for the .svc file... but i cant' work out how to do that.  This ( http://www.iis.net/default.aspx tabid=2&subtabid=25&i=1032) suggests that there should be a MIME Types item in the list of things i can configure for the default web site in inetmgr ... but it's not there Here's what i have done so far.

• .NET Development Closing an External Program

  Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance.  I have a third party program that is opened daily using Windows Scheduler, which in turn runs a process.  However, at the end of the process, the program does not close itself instead simply terminating and leaving itself open.  Because of this, Windows Scheduler fails on the next attempt to launch the program unless someone manually closes the program daily.  I know a Windows form can launch an external exe, and assume it can also be used to close an external program or process, however, I do not know how to do this.  Any insight on this topic would be greatly app ...Show All

  What happened to the Query Designer   It's a modal window that doesn't allow you to drag tables from other databases into the query.  SQL 2000's verion of Query Designer was so much better than 2005.  What happened   Are the developers at Microsoft completely retarded   Also, why do I have to log into my database servers everytime I open "Server Management Studio"   Who thought up that nice feature   Probably the same brillant folks that redesigned Query Designer.  Why would you want to have a forced login procedure for every database everytime the program is opened.  Once again Micro ...Show All
