All kinds of ways. Search for the node that is before or after the position you want to insert your new node and use InsertBefore or InsertAfter respectively on the parent node. That's if you have an XmlDocument object open. Another way is to just insert the node at the end and apply a stylesheet. The xsl:for-each can have a child element xsl:sort that can sort your nodes in alphabetical order.

I have a page with data retrieving from user:
Name, landline no, Question to ask and Timings..Once i click on button of this page, say callback.aspx, it will generate a xml file automatically with a file name userinfo.xml
Now i try to read this file in another .aspx page say read.aspx from userinfo.xml...Everything is working fine..except for..
If another user enters info in callback and submits. And when i check it from read.aspx or userinfo.xml the previous data is lost and the new data is written...Is there any possibility that dynamically data can be appended to userinfo.xml
Please help..the following is the code in callback.aspx
string xmlFile = Server.MapPath("userInfo.xml");
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(xmlFile, Encoding.UTF8);
//start writing
writer.WriteStartDocument();
writer.WriteComment("Posted on @" + DateTime.Now.ToString());
writer.WriteStartElement("UI");
//creating the <browserinfo> element
writer.WriteElementString("name", sname);
writer.WriteElementString("landline",slandline);
writer.WriteElementString("question",squestion);
writer.WriteElementString("time",stime);
writer.WriteElementString("Date",DateTime.Now.ToString());
writer.WriteEndElement();
writer.WriteEndDocument();
writer.Close();

Well, you've got a few problems to deal with here. First of all is this line:
lehya wrote: XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(xmlFile, Encoding.UTF8);
This is a shortcut to remove some of the tedium of opening a file. But, its assumption is that you want to erase the old file if one is there, not append to it.
The second problem is that you're dealing with an XML file. You can't just append to the end of the file. You have to add your new elements as a part of the existing document.
Appending to the end of an XML document is not easy. You have some options though. Open the XML in an XmlDocument object and just append your child nodes in there where appropriate, then save the file. If the XML file is big, this will take up lots of memory and be slow. Another option is to open up the existing file with an XmlReader and open up a temporary file with an XmlWriter. Read the existing XML until you get to the end of the document and while you're doing it, write those elements out to the writer. Before writing the EndDocument, write in your new elements. Then delete the old file and rename the temp file to the correct filename.

Thanks buddy...Sounds like it works..But reading everything and writing into a temporary file...saving it as a new file..oh this sounds too hard..but i will try
|
|
|
|

You could also write to a MemoryStream so long as the XML is not too big. The MemoryStream will have a smaller memory footprint than the XmlDocument object.

Hi lehya,
First check whether the xml file exists, If not create xml [ u have done this], if exists load xml file, get the root node element and append every node you add as as child node [plz don`t use processing instructions while appending to xml] and save the xml.
<ex: <Contact_info> => Root Element
<contacts>
<name>test</name>
<age>35</age>
<sex>M</sex>
</contacts>
<contacts>
<name>test</name>
<age>35</age>
<sex>M</sex>
</contacts>
</Contact_info>

I have a series of tables in MS Access 2003 and would like to export a subset of the data out in an XML format.
I have come accross the Application.ExportXML facility in MS Access 2003, but is this applicable if I need to export 2 fields from Table A, 3 from Table B and 1 from Table C.
My question is, should I write a VBA module to export the data I require or are they an example on how to use Application.ExportXML in the way required.
I cant find much documentation on this facility.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum.
Many thanks

Create a query containing your required fields then use Application.ExportXML with the query as your DataSource.
Application.ExportXML _
ObjectType:=acExportQuery, _
DataSource:="YourQuery", _
DataTarget:="Path\YourFile.xml"
The above shows the required properties. For a list of additional (optional) properties, see the Access 2003 help file for the ExportXML method.

Hey guys!
I'm kind of new to XML using VC++ 6.0.
I know XML DOM and XML MiniDOM from python...
and I use MSXML4.0.
anyway, I try to create an element, or a node,
and as I run my little application it carshed due to "Access violation"
the exception occures in the functions
raw_createElement(...) and raw_createNode(...)
it happens all the time, and frankly I really don't know what the heck is wrong in there....
here is a fragment of my source:
#define PHONEBOOK_NODE _T("Node")
hr= m_pDomDocument.CreateInstance("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");
sprintf(node, "%ld", m_NodeID);
l_XMLNode = m_pDomDocument->createNode(l_vtType, _T(node), _T(""));
l_XMLElement = m_pDomDocument->createElement(PHONEBOOK_NODE);
where:
m_pDomDocument is IXMLDOMDocument2Ptr
l_XMLNode is IXMLDOMNodePtr
l_XMLElement is IXMLDOMElementPtr
I'll be very glad (and so my boss) if someone will be kind to
share his or her opinion about that...
thanx,
Adidas

Are you saying you are new to C++ development? If so you are "starting" off with a much to complex project.
An "Access Violation" is not a XML/XSL problem it is a C++ problem so this question belongs in the Visual C++/MFC forum.

Hey,
No, I'm not new to C++ programming, I'm programming C++ for over 3 years.
I am used to program under UNIX operating systems and not under Windows.
recently I started programming under Windows...
anyway, I solved the problem, I just had an additional call to "CoInitialize()" which caused the problem....

so on.......
</Menu>
</Menus></code>
How i can read these XML nodes values???? I am confused and i tried dom, xmltextreader etc.......I am not sure which is the best way to use and how to use. I can load XML document but after that i am not able to read these nodes values....I am using ASP.Net, VB.Net version 1.x
Please provide some good sample source code. Thanks in advance for your help....One small request please help me ASAP.

Define Dataset and read the XML in DataSet like
ds.readXML(FilePath)
and here you go.. you have the details do what ever you want.
there are many other ways to read the XML but this is the easiest among all.

Thanks for your reply. And it really helps me to move one step. Now i am facing another problem. I am able to load my menus through xml, but it is taking some time to load. Moreover my other frmaes loaded before menus load..... Any thoughts???

Hi,
I am sorry if this is a very basic question.
I am new to XMLs.
I am using .net XMLDocument class to operate with xml files.
I would like to know what is the significance of a namespace when parsing XMLs. what and why is a namespace used?
Thanks.

VSush wrote: what and why is a namespace used?
The base reason for "namespace" support in any code based language is to reduce name collisions.
so if you want an xml element named ECustom and so do I we can't use them both in a single document. However if we add a namespace then they become
VSush.ECustom
and
led-mike.ECustom
So now they are two different elements and both can be used in a single document without ambiguity.

Adding to led mike's answer,
Preventing name collisions is the major reason for using namespaces. Nevertheless, the grouping of names for a specific purpose is a pleasant side-affect of this. Thus, for example, you can have elements that refer to schemas, html, xslt and xml in the same document.

Hi ALL,
QUESTION: 1
___________
I have an XML file in which I've put an Image data inline, like the following.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Data xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes"
dt:dt="bin.base64">/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAAsHCAkIBwsJCQkMCwsNEBoREA8PECAXGBMaJiIo

qVdNjhGg6Io+FdVVByFHypUq2ZP/2Q==</Data>
I am able to show the image in the HTML file like this.
<HTML>
<BODY>
<img src="data:image/gif;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAAsHCAkIBwsJCQkMCwsNEBoREA8PECAXGBMaJiIo

qVdNjhGg6Io+FdVVByFHypUq2ZP/2Q=="/>
</BODY>
</HTML>
But, I'd like to bring the inline image data from XML to HTML. I am able to do this for normal text data, something like this:
<html>
<body>
<xml id="cdcat" src="cd_catalog.xml"></xml>
<table border="1" datasrc="#cdcat">
<tr>
<td><span datafld="ARTIST"></span></td>
<td><span datafld="TITLE"></span></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Since I'm a newbie to XML, kindly bear if you feel this a silly question.
QUESTION: 2 - Inline Video data

showcontrols="True" showstatusbar="False"

It didn't work for me either using IE 6. The following information is interesting:
http://dean.edwards.name/weblog/2005/06/base64-ie/[^]
I believe IE 6 or less needs assistance to display base64! Other browsers don't have this problem.

Yeah his image data is not valid. The one in the dean.edwards blog entry is valid and works in Firefox.

In the dean.edwards blog, he is using a server-based script and javascript to "correct" the base64 data to display in IE6. He presents some different approaches to solve the problem.

I'm really sorry for giving an invalid image data. Now I got the stuff using XSL. This is how I did. The XML file(say, img.xml) contains the image data inline.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="img.xsl"?>

Now I'd like to use the same stuff for INLINE AUDIO/VIDEO data, so that the entire information would be in a single XML file.
Since IE is not supporting this Base64 encoding, I need to know how to make this IE compliant. I hope it's possible by means of Java Script. But I haven't worked on Java Script. If you have any idea, kindly share with me and let me know the importance of Embedding Inline Binary data in XML.

I encoded a .wmv file in to base64 format and placed as a tag in XML.
Is there any way to play that encoded video file in the browser's embeded player( any player ) ?
Which player is encoded video compatible ?
I used base64 encoding for jpg file. it is working properly. i can view the encoded jpg file in the browser. In the same way is there any possbility to play the encoded video file in the browser ?
Which encoding is optimal for video ?
What is the role of CODEC in video encoding ?
