What I do:
Copy an xml file (ctrl+C) on a Win
Server 2008 machine.
Minimize mstsc.exe (remote connection app).
Paste the xml file on to my WinXP machine (ctrl+V).
The result:
All of the original contents are still present but another bit is appended at the end of it.
E.g. the proper end of the file looks something like this:
<ApplicationName>MyApp</ApplicationName>
</ReceivePort>
</ReceivePortCollection>
<PartyCollection xsi:nil="true" />
</BindingInfo>
But, after the copy, it looks like this:
<ApplicationName>MyApp</ApplicationName>
</ReceivePort>
</ReceivePortCollection>
<PartyCollection xsi:nil="true" />
</BindingInfo>al, PublicKeyToken=3zzf3xxxadyyy35" Type="1" TrackingOption="ServiceStartEnd MessageSendReceive PipelineEvents" Description="" />
<ReceivePipelineData xsi:nil="true" />
<SendPipeline xsi:nil="true" />
<SendPipelineData xsi:nil="true" />
<Enable>true</Enable>
<ReceiveHandler Name="WCF_OracleDB_Rx" HostTrusted="false">
<TransportType Name="WCF OracleDB" Capabilities="779" Configuratio
The extra bits it adds are things that come from earlier in the XML file. If I do the copy multiple times, the extra bits are always exactly the same but another XML file will add different lines.
Extra information:
If I copy/paste the file, as above, but first enclose it into a zip file I do not have the same problem. I.e. the file copies properly and without any extra surprises.
If I do a copy/paste from a Windows Explorer window that's opened to the folder on the remote machine, I do not have the same behavior. I.e. the file copies properly and without any extra surprises.
Question:
Why does this happen?
