Can you modify the xsl file?

Yes I can, but I would want to add other code asp ... Big Grin | :-D

You want to add more ASP code? If the XSL does not change and HTML code concerning the body element and its ancestors, you can place that code in the ASP file. Then, you can add more ASP code before or after the transformed HTML code.

... kindly, can you give me an example with the post code? Big Grin | :-D

... the code I should change it so?

my code asp

<%
' View Message

' prevent page caching

Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"
Response.AddHeader "Pragma", "no-cache"
Response.Expires = -1

xslpath = Server.mappath("viewmessage.xsl") '"d:\InetPub\wwwroot\XMLmessageboard\messageboard.xsl"
xmlpath = Application("xmlpath")

Set id = Request.QueryString("id")
set xdoc = Application("xdoc")
set xsldoc = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument")

'load up XSL doc and perform transformations

xsldoc.async = false
xsldoc.load(xslpath)

set xsltemp = Server.createObject("MSXML2.XSLTemplate")
xsltemp.stylesheet=xsldoc

set xslproc = xsltemp.createProcessor
xslproc.input=xdoc.nodeFromID(id)
xslproc.output=Response

' parameter for message group

xslproc.addParameter "msgid",CStr(id)
xslproc.transform()

my code asp

Yes, just make sure that the HTML, HEAD and BODY elements aren't in the messageboard.xsl.

Hello,

I am trying to read and write to a xml document into a dataset, but got an error message that cannot find the file path.

This is using the Compact Framework 2.0, so cannot use the currentDirectory or startupPath, I have used the code below. However, the path i get is \programFile\PDACodeRedWM5 which is returned

PDACodeRedWM5 being the name of my project.

However, this path doesn't exist on my file system. So i got an error saying 'Could not find a part of the path '\C:\Program Files\PDACodeRedWM5\webServiceUrl.xml'.

So i created this actual path on my file system and still got the same error message.

This is my code so you can have a better understanding, I am trying to read in a xml file into a Dataset.

Try<br />
            'File the xml file<br />
            Dim fileName As String = String.Empty<br />
            Dim ds As New DataSet<br />
            Dim dv As DataView<br />
<br />
            Dim path As String<br />
            path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase)<br />
            path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetModules(0).FullyQualifiedName)<br />
<br />
            'Read in the xml file<br />
<br />
            fileName = String.Format("{0}\WebServiceURL.xml", path)<br />
<br />
            ds.ReadXml(fileName)<br />
<br />
            'Find if a url already exists<br />
            dv = New DataView(ds.Tables(0))<br />
<br />
            If (dv.Count = 0) Then<br />
                'This is the first time the application is running, so input from user<br />
                Dim objInputURL As New InputURL()<br />
                objInputURL.ShowDialog()<br />
            Else 'Set the URL to the current web service location<br />
                Dim objUrl As New Globals<br />
                objUrl.UrlPath = ds.Tables(0).Rows(0)("url").ToString()<br />
            End If<br />
<br />
        Catch ex As Exception<br />
            MsgBox(ex.Message)<br />
        End Try

If the programFile\PDACodeRedWM5 has not been created why does it give that file path?

The actual path the application is in, is on my D drive.

Many thanks for any help,

Steve

Steve I am not sure I agree with you conclusion that an issue of finding a file using the compact framework qualifies as an XML issue just because the contents of your particular file is XML. Oh never mind... I just noticed you are using VB.

XML into DB webservice

Hello all,
I'm sure this is a walk in the park for all you experts out there.
I'm very new to VB.net coming from a VBA background. I have the job of opening a XML file when it is recieved by a web service adding it's data to a database. I believe I must use a dataset and compare the file to a XML schema. If anyone can help I would be very grateful as I'm making little progress myself Frown | :(

Thanks in advance

dear hariharan,

if you have an idea to find the text in xmldocument.

Then if it is an attribute name then

xmlDoc.selectsingleNode("//ParentNode/Node[@id='" & txtbox1.text &"']")

If its a element name then

xmlDoc.selectsingleNode("//ParentNode")

All The Best

How to search a node in XML?

Hi!
I am using C#, i want to search a node in XML file having a given Attribute. the structure of XML file is not known, i.e. we dont know that how many nodes are there and each node conatins how many child nodes.

following is a sample of the structure of XML file. I want to traverse all nodes of file and return the "Name" attribute of the node if it matches with the user defined string.

<ROOT>
<Group Name="A" ID="1">
<Group Name="C" ID="3">
<Group Name="D" ID="4" />
</Group>
<Group Name="E" ID="5">
<Group Name="F" ID="6">
<Group Name="G" ID="7" />
</Group>
</Group>
</Group>
<Group Name="B" ID="2" />
</ROOT>

I tried to do it with recursion but could not handle it. Please tell me how to do it.

Thanks in advance..

Regards,
Affan Ahmad Toor

I am trying to write a dataset upon login and write certain information retrieved from an Access db (I hate Access but right now the SQL box isn't available so I'm hitting the Access db as little as possible). When I populate the DataSet and use DataSet.WriteXML it's giving weird results. Also, when I login in a 2nd time (with a different user, the only part that works is searching the XML for the user I'm logging in with if it exists then dont rewrite it) I want it to append it to the existing XML document and even this isn't working right, the .WriteXML is giving a result like

The second hit from google states that "Libxml2 is known to be very portable, the library should build and work without serious troubles on a variety of systems (Linux, Unix, Windows, CygWin, MacOS, MacOS X, RISC Os, OS/2, VMS, QNX, MVS, ...)" The XML C parser and toolkit of Gnome - libxml[^]

If you mean that you want to write your own XML parser that will be a very challenging task and most probably no one here can give you complete code for this. Your best bet would be to take a look at the sources of the available parsers to see how they tackle the problem.
