Hello All,
Is it possible to build a multilanguage website using XML/XSLT to dynamically populate elements of a page with texts in a selected language?
|

Nothing is impossible 
If you're using ASP.NET to develop your web application there is already built-in support for what you're trying to achieve. Search for "Localization ASP.NET". If I recall right there was also an article here on CP that covered the localization of an ASP.NET web application.

Indeed, but the site I am thinking about is not built with ASP.NET. It is running on Apache.

Ok, do you use any kind of server-side-technology like PHP or JSP on your apache server? Maybe they have some built-in support for localization too. If not, i'm quite sure that it is possible with JSP to apply an XSLT stylesheet to an XHTML source that inserts language-specific text to certain elements. I have alomost no experience with PHP, so it's hard to say how chances are to implement such thing with this technology.

PHP is available.
BTW, I am not willing to use JavaScript (or anything that runs on client), because more and more people disable its support in their browsers.

Hi,
I work on an xml project using xerces integrated to the MS VC++ 6.0 environment (msdev). I need to integrate xerces with MS Visual Studion 2003 (devenv).
The following are the setup options I create with the VC++ 6.0
a. Project Setting -> C/ C++ tab -> Category : Preprocessor ->Additional Include Directory : <path where="" xerces="" is="" stored="" till="" the="" src="" folder="">
b. Project Setting -> Link -> Category : Input -> Object/ Lib Modules : Xerces-c_2D.lib and Addtional lib path : <directory where="" the="" lib="" file="" is="" stored="">
Xerces works fine with this.
When I try the same with MS VS 2003, i get linker errors indicating that there is a clash between the MSXML and xerces' functions definitions. What Should I do to resolve this issue. Please help

When you "#import" MSXML, don't use the no_namespace attribute or use the rename_namespace attribute. Using a namespace will resolve your clashes.

hi,
i need some help regarding data access from XML sent by web services.
I have a web service that sends out XML as its result, as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Response webMethodId="GetUserListing">
<SecurityContext sessionId="154oe1upayjpnx55pg1f3r45" />
<Document>
<ArrayOfUsers xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<User>
<UserId>32</UserId>
<Name>foxtrot</Name>
<Address>Suite 712</Address>
<Zip>12345</Zip>
<PhoneNumbers>
<string 111-111-1111/>
</PhoneNumbers>
<Emails>
<string>foo@foo.bar</string>
</Emails>
</User>
</ArrayOfUsers>
<TotalRecords>25</TotalRecords>
</Document>
</Response>
In the RDL file, the Query i specify is:
<Query>
<Method Namespace ="http://tempuri.org/" Name = "ProcessRequest" ></Method>
<SoapAction>http://tempuri.org/ProcessRequest</SoapAction>
</Query>
and the result i get is in a single line that says ProcessRequestResult, with the XML specified above in a single line. however, i need the result in a tabular form, which would give me records of different users, one below the other.
if i specify the <ElementPath> element for the query, i do not get any response at all.
The <ElementPath> element i specify is:
<ElementPath>Response{}/SecurityContext{}/Document{}/ArrayOfUser{}/User</ElementPath>
i need urgent help for this and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

it is confusing to under stand... but i think first u have to attach that XSLT to any XML... and modify ur XSLT to store that value in sone variable...

Perhaps this is a rather basic question, but is there a way to get the path to an XSD file (considering it's added to my current project) without having to hard-code the path?
|
|
|
|

Application.StartupPath + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + relative path to your file (in simplest case the filename)

Great, thank you! I put the XSD file two directories up, so the following two lines now do the trick:
DirectoryInfo schemaDir = (Directory.GetParent(Application.StartupPath)).Parent).Parent;
string schemaFullName = schemaDir + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + "OptionsSchema.xsd";

 Please can someone help me with the following issue:
I am new to the development circle and my focus is C#. I have recently started to delve into the functionality of combining Web Service, SQL Databases and InfoPath Forms. Although I have successfully completed the Web Service and Database components, I have come unstuck with the InfoPath Forms which emphasize XML.
I have created two forms: PassingParameters.xsn (Contains a TextBox(txtInput) and a Button(btnSubmit))
ReceivedParameters.xsn (Contains just a TextBox (output) that is for displaying)
What I am trying to accomplish at first appeared very easy, but has become my nemesis! All that I want to do is pass the value I input in the TextBox on the 1st form to the TextBox on the 2nd form? Here is the code that I am trying to work with. It revolves around the NewFromSolutionWithData Method.
[InfoPathEventHandler(MatchPath = "btnSubmit", EventType = InfoPathEventType.OnClick)]
public void btnSubmit_OnClick(DocActionEvent e)
{
IXMLDOMProcessingInstruction oXML = thisXDocument.DOM.createProcessingInstruction("xml", "version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"");
IXMLDOMProcessingInstruction oPI = thisXDocument.DOM.createProcessingInstruction("mso-application", "progid=\"InfoPath.Document\"");
thisXDocument.DOM.insertBefore((IXMLDOMNode)oPI, thisXDocument.DOM.firstChild);
thisXDocument.DOM.insertBefore((IXMLDOMNode)oXML, thisXDocument.DOM.firstChild);
// Open a solution from a XML DOM
// Create a new DOM
IXMLDOMDocument newDoc = thisXDocument.CreateDOM();
string myXml = "<txtinput>";
newDoc.loadXML(myXml);
// Call NewSolutionWithData to open a new Form and load the XML
XDocument oXdpostingForm = thisApplication.XDocuments.NewFromSolution(@"C:\Program Files\bSOLVe_LS_Publish\PassingParameters.xsn");
XDocument oXdreceivingForm = thisApplication.XDocuments.NewFromSolutionWithData
("C:\\Program Files\\bSOLVe_LS_Publish\\Source_ParametersReceived\\template.xml",
@"C:\Program Files\bSOLVe_LS_Publish\ParametersReceived.xsn",
(int)XdDocumentVersionMode.xdFailOnVersionOlder);
I design the forms in a folder called bSOLVe_LS_Design giving them full trusted security. Once completed I publish the forms to another folder bSOLVe_LS_Publish, where I also install them. When I run the form I get the following exception:
InfoPath cannot create a new, blank form.
The system cannot find the path specified.

Greetings,
I have an XmlSchemaAttribute. I want to determine if this XmlSchemaAttribute belongs to an attribute group (and if so, what group?). This is proving more difficult than I expected and I suspect I am going about it the wrong way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

hello,
i need to change the value of the attribute "marked " in an xmlelement.
I can gain access to the node which is practically this xmlelement by an XMLNodeReader.
But only xmlelement offers the function "setAttribute".
How can I manipulate this attribute?
thanks much for your help
this ist a code fragment:
dim xDoc as new XMLDocument
dim xreader as XMLNodeReader
dim xmlnode as XMLNode
xdoc.Load("Datei.xml")
xreader = New XmlNodeReader(xdoc.ChildNodes.Item(0))
While xreader.Read()
Select Case xreader.NodeType
Case XmlNodeType.Element
xmlelement = xdoc.ReadNode(xreader)
'the compiler won't warn me, but the attribute "marked" is not set afterwards
xmlelement.SetAttribute("marked", 0)
Exit While
Case Else
End Select
End While
this is my xml-file:
<directory marked="1">
</directory>
.....
|
|
|
|

I think the problem is that the ReadNode method creates a new XmlNode basing on the information of the XmlNode on which the XmlReader is currently positioned. Therefor, the "marked" attribute is set, but not in the original document. By the way, why don't you use the the GetElementsByTagName, SelectNodes or SelectSingleNode methods of the XmlDocument type?

you are perfectly right. the attribute is only changed in the new Xmlelement.
Therefore i tried to replace the new element with the old element, but then it says that the object is not referred to an instance ( null reference exception), although I defined both xmlelements
While xreader.Read()
Select Case xreader.NodeType
Case XmlNodeType.Element
xmlelement1 = xdoc.ReadNode(xreader)
xmlelement2 = xmlelement1
xmlelement2.SetAttribute("marked", 0)
xdoc.ParentNode.ReplaceChild(xmlelement2, xmlelement1)'null reference exception
Exit While
Case Else
End Select
End While
i cannot use methods like selectsinglenode and getelementsbytagname, cause I only have two tags "directory" and "file". My xml-document shall represent a filesystem. I think this would be too complicated then.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<directory Name="AAverschiebtest" marked="0" Path="D:\AAverschiebtest">
<file Name="Form1.resx" marked="0" Path="D:\AAverschiebtest\Form1.resx" />
<file Name="Form1.vb" marked="0" Path="D:\AAverschiebtest\Form1.vb" />
<file Name="log.txt" marked="0" Path="D:\AAverschiebtest\log.txt" />
<file Name="ordnerjpg.JPG" marked="0" Path="D:\AAverschiebtest\ordnerjpg.JPG" />
<file Name="testspeicherplatzarchivierung3.sln" marked="0" Path="D:\AAverschiebtest\testspeicherplatzarchivierung3.sln" />
<file Name="testspeicherplatzarchivierung3.suo" marked="0" Path="D:\AAverschiebtest\testspeicherplatzarchivierung3.suo" />
<file Name="testspeicherplatzarchivierung3.vbproj" marked="0" Path="D:\AAverschiebtest\testspeicherplatzarchivierung3.vbproj" />
<file Name="testspeicherplatzarchivierung3.vbproj.user" marked="0" Path="D:\AAverschiebtest\testspeicherplatzarchivierung3.vbproj.user" />
<directory Name="bilder" marked="0" Path="D:\AAverschiebtest\bilder">
<file Name="asdfasdfasdf.xml" marked="0" Path="D:\AAverschiebtest\bilder\asdfasdfasdf.xml" />
<file Name="buch1111.xml" marked="0" Path="D:\AAverschiebtest\bilder\buch1111.xml" />
......
.....
thanks for your help

It's not the elements that cause the NullReferenceException. It's the call of ReplaceChild on the XmlDocument.ParentNode property. A document has no parent node, so this property returns null and trying to call a method on it will result in a NullReferenceException. Try calling ReplaceChild directly on the XmlDocument or the return value of the DocumentElement property.

The question that arises is whether you want to set the "marked" attribute to "0" only on elements that are direct children of a specific "directory" element or on all elements.?

thanks a lot for your help! it did indeed help me very much
I decided to convince me of xpath expressions finally 
this is how I implemented it:
(this code sets the attribute of one marked element and all elements which are under it )
...
Dim xmlnode As XmlNode
Dim xmlelement As XmlElement
Dim xexpr As XPathExpression
...
Try
xexpr = XPathExpression.Compile("//directory[@Path=" & "'" & tpath & "\" & xnode.FullPath & "']")
xmlnode = xDoc.SelectSingleNode(xexpr.Expression)
'marked element
xmlelement = xmlnode
xmlelement.SetAttribute("marked", 1)
'files and directory under the marked element
For Each xmlelement In xmlnode
xmlelement.SetAttribute("marked", 1)
SetAttr(xmlelement, 1)
Next
xDoc.SelectSingleNode(xexpr.Expression).ParentNode.ReplaceChild(xmlnode, xDoc.SelectSingleNode(xexpr.Expression))
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
Finally
xDoc.Save(filename)
End Try
|
|
|
|

I'm glad I could help. Your code looks quite good, but I think it could be simplified a bit. As far as I know the SelectSingleNode method creates no copy as the ReadNode method does, so there is no need to replace nodes and the following should work to:
Dim xmlnode As XmlNode
Dim xmlelement As XmlElement
...
Try
xmlnode = xDoc.SelectSingleNode("//directory[@Path=" & "'" & tpath & "\" & xnode.FullPath & "']")
'marked element
xmlelement = xmlnode
xmlelement.SetAttribute("marked", 1)
'files and directory under the marked element
For Each xmlelement In xmlnode
xmlelement.SetAttribute("marked", 1)
SetAttr(xmlelement, 1)
Next
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
Finally
xDoc.Save(filename)
End Try
