I'm an XML newb.
I'm serializing a class and when I inspect the xml file, all the data is on
one line rather than being nested and indented
Is that normal?
<code>
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(m_ optionsXmlFileP ath, false);
XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(t ypeof(Options)) ;
XmlTextWriter xmlTextWriter = new XmlTextWriter(s w);
xmlSerializer.S erialize(xmlTex tWriter, this);
xmlTextWriter.C lose();
</code>

Hello! I'm serializing a class and when I inspect the xml file, all the data is on
one line rather than being nested and indented
Is that normal?
Yes, it is.
Use the indentation-property on XmlTextWriter to generate a
human-reader-friendly output:
<code>
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(m_ optionsXmlFileP ath, false);
XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(t ypeof(Options)) ;
XmlTextWriter xmlTextWriter = new XmlTextWriter(s w);
xmlTextWriter.F ormatting = Formatting.Inde nted
xmlSerializer.S erialize(xmlTex tWriter, this);
xmlTextWriter.C lose();
</code>

Hi.
I have a really simple set of classes that writes 2 pathnames to a xml
file. I can write the default ok. Then if I change 1 pathname to a
shorter one, then rewrite the xml file, the remains of the old pathname,
and closing tags are left on the end resulting in an invalid XML file.
XmlSerializer.Deserialize gives a System.InvalidOperationException with
additional information: Error in the XML document.
My default file for example...

I am trying to find a solution that will allow me to use XmlSerializer to serialize/deserialize a collection of objects where a given object is shared between two or more other objects, and not create duplicate XML representations of the shared object, but instead use IDREFs to refer to the shared object.
The XML I'm trying to produce is as follows (where "href" is an IDREF):

Hello,
I'm trying to use the FOR XML EXPLICIT clause with SQL

by building a collection in code and then serializing it
to/from an XML file, which worked fine. However, I have

I am using some Microsoft examples that:
1. Serialize an object using XmlSerializer and write a file out to the
harddrive.
2. Read back in the file using XmlDocument.Load and populate a string.
What I would like to do is use MemoryStream to do this instead of writing
to the harddrive, but I am lost in the readers, writers etc.
Can someone show me how to to this using a memory stream.
thanks

It would be awesome somebody could answer this,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
