XmlLite says: error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'IXmlReader'
This is something that I've been asked more than once, and so here goes an answer that might help if you run into this. Let's say that you create a new project and borrow code or do something of the sort, and suddenly start getting an error message such Read More...
More group slicing in XSLT
To continue on my previous example on slicing (I made the term up, by the way), today we'll do something a little different. Let's say that instead of just inserting the slice elements and a few items, we want to copy the whole tree n times (where n is Read More...
LINQ to XSD on CodePlex
I'm very, very pleased about today's announcement on LINQ to XSD being available on CodePlex . The functionality available should be esentially the same as what was released in the last Alpha Preview, so if you were already using this, it should be a Read More...

DTD resolution and network behavior
Following up from my last post , danieldsmith asked about a couple of additional details. I think I responded in the comments, but because (a) it's generally useful, and (b) I had some problems with my network connection (because I monkeying around with Read More...
Faster XML - don't resolve DTDs if you don't need to
When loading an XML document through XmlDocument.Load or XDocument.Load , the default behavior when finding a DTD reference is to go resolve the URL, which typically means one or more web requests. Often, however, the DTD is there more as a marker of Read More...
XmlSchema and XmlSchemaSet thread safety
Here's a good word of warning: even if an object "feels" read-only because you're not calling code to modify it, if it's not documented as safe for use from multiple threads, then you shouldn't risk it. In particular, I'd like to talk about XmlSchema Read More...
