I think you need to post this in the ASP.NET forum. Anyway, why don't you create validation controls dynamically too. On the server side you can access the dynamic textboxes client IDs and set up your validation controls accordingly to your needs.

Shortcoming with XmlReader (2.0)

I lost a few hours to this problem this morning, and after I discovered the workaround I felt like ranting, but now I've cooled down a bit (and had a beer).

Anyway... I have an XML file with embedded stylesheets (XSL). One of these stylesheets transforms the XML to CSV. An important part of this transform is the insertion of linefeeds, I do this with <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>, and it worked fine until I started using an XmlReader to perform a validated read.

This works; the resultant XmlElement's text is a linefeed.

System.Xml.XmlDocument doc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument() ;
doc.Load ( @"\XMLtest.xml" ) ;

This doesn't work; the resultant XmlElement's text is empty.

System.Xml.XmlDocument doc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument() ;
System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings rs = new System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings() ;

(set the XmlReaderSetting's properties.)

doc.Load ( System.Xml.XmlReader.Create ( @"\XMLtest.xml" , rs ) ) ;

So then, looking through the help for XmlReader I see:
XmlReader objects created by the Create method expand all entities automatically.

So I assume that the 
 entity gets expanded, then the linefeed (whitespace) is determined to be non-essential and removed, leaving an empty value.

Looking further I see:
If you must expand entities on request (readers created by the Create method expand all entities), or if you do not want your text content normalized, use the XmlTextReader class.

Now wait a minute! Isn't the XmlTextReader, not recommended practice?

In the Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 release, the recommended practice is to create XmlReader instances using the System.Xml.XmlReader.Create method.

XmlReader objects created by the Create method are, by default, more conformant than the XmlTextReader implementation.

So the workaround I chose is:

System.Xml.XmlDocument doc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument() ;
System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings rs = new System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings() ;

(set the XmlReaderSetting's properties.)

doc.Load ( System.Xml.XmlReader.Create ( new System.Xml.XmlTextReader ( @"\XMLtest.xml" ) , rs ) ) ;

It gets the job done, but it seems odd that there isn't a property in the XmlReaderSettings to do this. I tried the IgnoreWhitespace and CheckCharacters properties but to no avail.

My question is: Does .net 3.0 solve this issue? Does anyone else have cleaner workaround?

I think you may need to use the xml:space attribute in you XML document. It has two values, "default" and "preserve". "default" value tells the XML processor to handle space as necessary. Also, this is the default behavior of the processor. "preserve" means to maintain whitespace as is. Also, 
 is not an entity, and > is an entity.

Example:

<poem xml:space="preserve">
... all whitespace will be preserved in all child nodes(remember text is considered a node) ...
<poem/>

XSD from XML

How can i create XSD from XML document programmatically in C#?

Also is there a tool available to achieve this?

If you have Visual Studio 2005, you just open up an XML file and there will be a XML Menu with a menu item, "Create Schema". Also, a toolbar button to create a schema may also appear. I believe this works in Standard and above. However, I am not sure about Express.

SpreadsheetML Problem

I am trying to create an Excel file with the XMLTextWriter class. I am successfully able to write the excel file with data from dataset in it. But the problem is that the string data being written in Excel is not visible fully in the cells.

I tried the option of AutoFitWidth="1", But it does not comes into effect for String data. I also got some clue for using System.Drawing.Graphics.MeasureString method. But I am not able to use it in Web project.

Can anyone guide me as to how can I fit the width of the string text in excel cell programatically.

If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.

I don't know much about spreadsheetML, but if I recall autofit is a property of the column and not the cell. Are you setting it as a column property?

Sorry, but if that doesn't fix the problem I really don't know what will. I don't normally jump into a topic I don't know that well, but since no one else has answered I thought I'd throw my hat in.

Schema Book/patterns

I've been using XML and schemas for a while now, but have never really read up on it or been shown officially how to use it. Does anyone know of a good book on creating Schemas? Or good concise info on the net about it?

While you're at it, can anyone point me in the direction of how to make up patterns (simple and complicated) in a schema, so that the xml data can be accurately validated against it.

Thanks in advance,

XmlFormView

Hi guys,
I'm using XmlFormView control to display an InfoPath form inside a custom aspx page. In order to load the form I can use XmlLocation which rapresents an Url to the .xml file. Does anyone know if it could be possible to inject Xml from memory (for example from a memory stream) instead of accessing the xml file? In other words I need to have the property XmlFormView.XmlForm setted without setting the XmlLocation property.
Thank you in advance.
