An interesting read i thought I would share, it shows Linux superiority over Windows.

Will this idiot not stop posting about Linux?!?

I think somebody has a crush on Rory.

Hi,
This is the first time I post here, and I want congratule you on a great show. I have been hearing the show for the past three days and I have increase my knowledge in alot of things.

ok, so I was hearing on the show the tip on how to see the contents of a dataobject.

the tip was to do the following on the command windows while debuging:

?dataset.GetXml

I really liked this tip, the only drawback is that when I have a few dozen records it gets confusing because there is alot of data. I wrote a small application (well is so little that i actually shoudn't call it an application) to get the xml and populate a datagrid.

here is how I have made it work so far:
1) clear the contents of the comand window
2) type the command "?dataset.GetXml"
3) Select the XML from the command window (only the XML) and copy it to the clipboard
4)run the application (the application gets the xml in the clipboard and populates the grid.

here is the simple code for the small application:

Assumptions:
1)a windows form
2)a command button named button1
3) a datagrid named datagrid1
4) and the following code:
[code]
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim karim As String
karim = CType(Windows.Forms.Clipboard.GetDataObject().GetData(Windows.Forms.DataFormats.Text), String)
Dim karim3 As New MemoryStream()
Dim karim4 As New StreamWriter(karim3)
karim4.Write(karim)
karim4.Flush()
karim3.Position = 0
Dim karim2 As New DataSet()
Try
karim2.ReadXml(karim3)
Catch r As Xml.XmlException
MsgBox(r.Message)
End Try


DataGrid1.DataSource = karim2
End Sub
[/code]

Maybe there is an easier way to accomplish this, but so far is saving me alot of headaches.

Sincerely,
Karim M. Garza

P.S.
Thanks alot for this tip.
