For over a week, I have been going through Dino Esposito's new book on Applied XML Programming for .NET. A very descriptive and helpful book - I posted a review at Amazon.

Building Comment Web Pages under Visual Studio

I am trying to ascertain if the 'Building Comment Web Pages'  under the Tool menu in Visual Studio .NET, is available as a command-line invocation (or via a control file). Anyone tried it? I don't mean commenting their code ;-)

Extreme XML - Extending XSLT

Lately, I have been working with quite a bit of XML within the .NET libraries. In certain cases, I could do a lot with the forthcoming XPath v2 (see prior posting) but that's not yet available for development. I came across Dare Obasanjo's article on EXSLT: Enhancing The Power of XSLT. It provides functions that support regular expressions, set based operations, and date-time processing. This hits the spot (for the moment).

Recursive calls in .NET

I wrote a recursive method in C# that traverses through a nested directory structure within a VSS database. What are the limitations of recursive calls within .NET? Factors like stack size, GCs, etc.?

GPS Stumped

My GPS library to read and parse NMEA strings is on a holding pattern - I can't find a driver or patch to read USB ports. I need it to map to a virtual COM port as my mapping package expects COM port inputs also. I looked around how other GPS libs do it and can't find an easier solution other than to write a port mapper using the DDK.
