    replied to MSBuild - Force Expansion of Wildcards in Transforms
    in Software Development
    Never mind, went a rather indirect route in the end.

    Code:
    <PropertyGroup>
  <TempTestFolder>$(RootDir)_UnitTests</TempTestFolder>
</PropertyGroup>

<Target Name="CopyUniqueTestFiles">
  <MakeDir Directories="$(TempTestFolder)" Condition="!Exists('$(TempTestFolder)')" />

      MSBuild - Force Expansion of Wildcards in Transforms

      Hi,

      Some MSBuild joyness, I have a range of unit test libraries, that actually reference each other (extended tests, mocks, etc.). As a result, the build on the server has multiple *.Tests.dll files in their bin directories.

      To select the Test dlls to run the tests as part of the build, we previously did this:

      Code:
      <ItemGroup>
  <TestFiles Include="$(RootDir)*.Tests\**\*.Tests.dll"

        Hi,

        When I create a message queue programmaticall y, I would like to ensure that the created queue has the permissions to allow the service account the app is running under to access the queue.

        When I use SetPermissions on the created queue, how do I create an AccessControlEn try that holds the current app identity?

          WCF: OperationContext null for Listeners

          Hi,

          We have a service that is both a service and a client, receiving and transmitting messages.

          We have custom listeners logging messages in and out. These work fine.

          I wanted to try and log some sort of Id that would allow me to match up the ins and outs by the service for a given request.

          I.e. an app calls our service, our service calls another service, it gets a response and responds...

            HTML Entity Output Escaping

            Hi,

            My question is around HTML entities and XML output (although I use php, I felt this was more an XSLT question).

            Given the below, am I safe to not escape HTML entities on input anymore?

            I used to retrieve HTML fragments from a MySQL backend to echo out to the page (using php). I performed the HTML Entity escaping at the point of storage to reduce processing when the page was loaded.

              in XML
              Yup,

              Added a call to header("Content-type: application/xml");
              prior to calling the echo.

              That fixed it.

              Cheers,

                Google Chrome Comments Out XML Declaration

                Hi,

                If I use php to echo an XML file directly to the response, all I see is the XML text.

                This is because Google Chrome comments out the XML declaration at the start of the text, causing it to treat the rest of the XML as an HTML document.

                If I view source, copy and paste the XML exactly as it is into an actual XML file, place this file in the exact same directory on my web site as the php file, and try to load...

                  XSLT: Use Build Server To Merge Imports

                  Hi,

                  We are using TeamCity as our build server. We have a website in php, which uses the XSLTProcessor to transform XML data.

                  We wanted to break the XSLT templates down into separate files (to avoid copy paste hardships), using the import tag in the XSLT. This works when we test the XSLT directly through our web browser (using locally generated test XML files).

                  However, it turns out the XSLTProcessor...

                    in PHP
                    Interesting. If my stylesheet is broken into multiple files (using imports) would I have to load each of them in turn into the processor? Does the processor handle internal references to other stylesheets?

                    Rob.

                      Hi,

                      I am using the XSLTProcessor object. Even though I use importStyleshee t, does my XML still need to specify the xml-stylesheet declaration?

$xsl->load("myfile.xslt");

$xslt = new XSLTProcessor;
$xslt->importStylesheet($xsl);
                      I only ask because currently my code seems to be ignoring the XSLT and churning out plain text,...

                          Yeah, good point. Tried it though and it all succeeded no problem.

                          I can only assume either I've configured it wrong, or phpMyAdmin is trying to login as a user other than the one I'm typing in at the prompt.

                              I appear to have solved the problem, though I don't understand it. I fed the same setup into a different XML editor, and its intellisense did something I did not expect. It added a BLANK XML namespace to the <config> tag:

                                    If you look at Response.Cookie s when it first loads the code, it is empty.

                                    If Request.Cookies has the cookie already set up in there, when it does Response.Cookie s.Add, the Response.Cookie s collection shows the added cookie on...

                                        So you're saying that cookie.Value = "a new value" does not actually set the value of the cookie that is sent back??

                                        Regardless of whether the cookie already existed or not (i.e. line 5 creates a new one or uses the existing one), line 7 should have reset the value.
