I assume I have to do this via a DataSet, but it doesn't like my syntax. I have an XMLDocument called "XmlDocument xmlAPDP". I want it in a DataTable called "DataTable dtAPDP". I also have a DataSet called "DataSet dsAPDP". - if I do DataSet dsAPDP.ReadXML(xmlAPDP) it doesn't like that because ReadXML wants a string, I assume a file...

There are quite a few questions & answers about hacking around the limitation of C# not allowing method return (and argument) types to be changed to compatible types on overrides, but why does this limitation exist, either in the C# compiler or in the CLR? As I an see, there is nothing that could break if co/contra-variance was allowed, ...
I'm looking for a method or an event that would get fired when a row in a datatable is accessed. I have a datatable with several thousand rows, and an image in at least one of the columns.

I need to serialize a .NET DateTime value in a protocol buffers message. My plan is to use the DateTime.ToBinary() and then pass the 64-bit returned value in the message.

A potential client is asking me if I can generate a thumbnail image from .eps and .ai files. The standard .NET Image class is not able to do this, so I suppose I need a 3rd party API, but I am not sure what is the best approach. Any ideas? Roger Gallery Server Pro ...
When debugging multi threaded .NET apps in VS (2008) I frequently want to step through code. When I press F10 quite often I find VS jumping to a statement in another thread.
