reading xml file

RR
I'm trying to read an xml file into a dataset just like I do in my windows
application.

DataSet.ReadXML ("filename.xml" );

But no matter how I have the string file name the application errors and I
get File Not Found when I debug on the emulator. Since I'm fairly new to
mobile development, do I need to do anything in particular to load the xml
file to the emulator / device? The xml file is in the project folder.

Hello RR,

Just check for the file existed with File.Exist before reading
BTW, I recomend to use ReadXmlSchema before reading XML, because in that
case CLR is not requred to reconstruct DOM for the xml, and this dosn't hinder
performance

Try using Application.Sta rtupPath to prefix the filename. The StartupPath
property is the path (minus filename) for the executable. Regardless, it
sounds like a path issue moreso than a mobile app issue.

Greetings, I need to read (unformatted text) from stdin up to EOF into a char buffer; of course I cannot allocate my buffer until I know how much text is available, and I do not know how much text is available until I have read it... which seems to imply that multiple reads of the input stream will be inevitable. Now I can correctly find the number of characters available by: |

Hi folks, Suppose I have a large (1 GB) text file which I want to read in reverse. The number of characters I want to read at a time is insignificant. I'm confused as to how best to do it. Upon browsing through this group and other sources on the web, it seems that there are many ways to do it. Some suggest that simply fseek'ing to 8K bytes before the end of file, and going backwards is the way. In this case, am I guaranteed best results...

Hello. I'm writing an application that writes to a file a month, day, year, number of comments, then some strings for the comments.

I tried saving a record for 6/26/2004 and 7/26/2004 and it read it in as the day, year, and number of...

I've got a XML file I read using a file_get_contents and turn into a simpleXML node every time index.php loads. I suspect this is causing a noticeable lag in my page-execution time. (Or the wireless where I'm working could just be ungodly slow-- which it is.) Is reading a file much more resource/processor intensive than, say, including a .php file? What about the act of creating a simpleXML object? What about the act of checking the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
