We are in the process of writing a extension tool in DW MX 2004.After our investigating we have found that the xml file is not read properly in DW MX 2004.To prove this point we have written a small program (to be run as an extension).and surprisingly it fails when we try to read the xml file.
Is this a known bug? or am i doing some wrong?
I have tested this behaviour on Windows 2000 and DW MX 2004.
Could you please help me find a solution to this?.Thanks in Advance.
Thanks & Regards.,
