XmlSchemaValidationException

When catching an XmlSchemaValidationException, the debugger shows hidden members like ‘Res’ = ‘Sch_InvalidElementContentExpecting’ and string Args[] with the expected elements. I would like to access these hidden members so that I can create my own error message in my native language. Does anybody know how to retrieve this information? Code fragment: invoked after call to XmlDataDocument.Validate:
private void ValidationCallBack(Object sender, ValidationEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Exception.GetType() == typeof(XmlSchemaValidationException))
{

XmlSchemaValidationException ex = args.Exception as XmlSchemaValidationException;
textBoxValideer.Text += node.Name + " " + ex.Message + "\n";
}
else
{
textBoxValideer.Text += "\n?";
}

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to extract data from an ASP.NET generated table.

Here's an excerpt of the HTML:

<body>
...
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderDroit_GridView1" style="border-width:0px;width:690px;">
...
<tr class="txt_general" style="background-color:#F4F4F4;"> // <--- Row that contains the data that is repeated
<td style="width:70px;" rowspan="1" colspan="1">
<img src="../Photo.ashx?id=1576120" style="height:58px;width:70px;border-width:0px;" /> // <-- I want to extract the photo ID
</td>
<td rowspan="1" colspan="1">
<span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderDroit_GridView1_ctl02_lblPrice">87 000$</span> // I want to extract the price. The ID increments ct103_lblPrice would be the next row.
<br clear="none" />
</td>
</tr>
...
</table>
</body>

Can someone help me with this problem?

developing new applications

We are in the process of centralizing everything - data, apps, 3rd party imports, SSIS jobs, etc. Most of the home grown apps are going to need to be completely overhauled, and the 3rd party stuff and SSIS jobs can all use XML.

If you were going to use a development platform going forward to get things off the ground and you were starting from scratch, what would you use? We currently write everything in C# and rely heavily on AD for application permissions and access.

Any suggestions would be welcome. I was thinking that since we're moving to a bigger focus on BI and possibly moving to Sharepoint for a lot of our internal work, that Flex, Adobe Air, Laszlo Systems or some other XML RIS technology might be a good way to look.

All of this is internal, don't have to worry about being public.

Thanks! Big Grin | :-D

This sounds frighteningly like someone just heard of XML for the first time and decided to use it everywhere.

Use visual studio to write your C# apps. XML, you can edit in any text editor.

Nope, it's someone who is trying to figure out where we should be in several years and trying to set the ground work now. We have a bunch of C# apps, a bunch of SSRS reports, and a LOT of sql data that needs to be manhandled into some state to allow our users to analyze it.

I figured since a lot of things can be translated somehow into XML so that would be a good medium.

Honestly, I'm in way over my head, and I'm looking for some direction.

Well, sounds like you need to read some very basic articles. Creating XML from this is trivial, it's just a case of deciding on a format ( use nodes or attributes, etc ). If you don't know how to do that, then you really shouldn't be messing with any XML until you do.

You can't really create a 100% accurate schema from one XML, you're better off creating it by hand.

The technology you are intending to use for connecting and communicating to the Web Service has nothing to do with XML/XSL. You should find more relevant forum to ask your question. Also don't forget to actually ask a question, as you did not here. Also, it sound more like you should be looking for an example, sample or tutorial using the specific tools you intend on using. Perhaps you should do that rather than post another non-question in a forum.

Good Afternoon Guys , i have never attempted to save Data to the Database from the XML FILE, i have the Following

// pass an object to this function
// the attribute of the object tells the function which stored proc to call
// the object itself is serialized to an xml string and passed to the database
// the stored proc on the other side takes care of the behind the scenes details
public static string SaveObjectToDB(object obj)
{
    string sql = "", xml = "", result = "";
    // populate the object from the database using the specified ID
    // loop through the attributes of the object/class
    // Look up the stored procedure attribute on the object to use the appropriate stored proc to save the object
    foreach (Attribute attr in obj.GetType().GetCustomAttributes(true))
    {
        DBStoredProcAttribute dbSPAttr = attr as DBStoredProcAttribute;
        // check if the attribute is a DBStoredProcAttribute
        if (dbSPAttr != null)
        {
            // serialize the object to xml
            xml = SerializeObjectToXML(obj);
            // trim of the xml headers
            // Subject Structures can be longer than 8000 characters so must trim off the prefix in .Net for SubjectStructure objects
            xml = xml.Replace("\\r\\n", "").Replace("\r\n", "").Replace("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-16\"?>", "");
            int StartPos=0;
            StartPos = xml.IndexOf("<SubjectStructure>");
            if (StartPos > 0)
            {
                xml = xml.Substring(StartPos);
            }
            // run the sp for this type of object passing the xml for the object
            sql = dbSPAttr.SaveObjectSP + "'" + xml.Trim() + "'";       // stored proc for SaveObject ;

            // execute the stored proc
            result = ExecuteStoredProc(sql);
        }
    }

    return result;
}

Can you please help Explain this Function code.If i can Directly save the data to the Database, why should i put it to XML First then SQL

Thanks

In my xsd file I have a bool element. I want to set a restriction so that it can only be set to true if a previous element is present and has a particular value.

Something like this

<xs:simpleType name="someEnum">
  <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
    <xs:enumeration value="Value1" />
    <xs:enumeration value="Value2" />
  </xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

...

<xs:element name="Field1" type="someEnum" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" />
<xs:element name="Field2" type="xs:boolean" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" />

I want to change it so that Field2 can only be true if Field1 is Value2 from the enum
