I want the client to be able to save the svg doc he/she modified on my web app
but I don't know how to write javascript that provide that functionality.
I have found several example on saving format such as txt and html.
But could not find one for svg. I want it to be saved as .svg because the client can see it as picture still unlike saving as txt.
You could load data from xml file into XmlDocument, then add new xml data and save to the same file again.
Something like this:
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("file_path.xml");
//add new data
XmlElement element = doc.CreateElement("NewElement");
element.InnerText = "test data";
doc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(element);
doc.Save("file_path.xml");
The ParseDaysXML routine is based on the ParseWeatherXML Routine. Not surprisingly, the code I copeid and pasted is working fine, but the stuff I tried to adapt isn't.
The commented code in ParseDaysXML is what is causing the problem. Based on the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error pointing to line 123 (second Dim line in the FindLayoutTable function), I'm suspecting something isn't right with my SelectSingleNode line (the first commented one).
So, three questions:
1) What is causing the error
2) how to fix?
3) My goal is simply to get period name from the WKKI2.xml file matched with the appopriate period in thew WKKI.xml file. Is there a more efficient way to go about it?

Hi - Need help - some special characters are added to our XML document - unable to see this with notepad, wordpad, any type of XML readers like XMLSpy - is there a utility out there we could use? it adds this special characters at top of document ____ - the srainght line is the special characters.
thanks.
-- modified at 14:53 Friday 18th August, 2006
- Used Windiff - which displayed special characters.
- Removed the UTF-8 encoding - it seems to be causing error - leaving
- which seems to work for us.
<meaning>abc<type>xyz</type></meaning>
when i use
node.innertext
it concatenates abc and xyz both how can i retrive only the innertext of meaning tag.. i.e abc only
Please don't write URGENT in the title of your post. It's actually less likely to get answered that way.
To answer your question though, there are technically two child nodes of the <meaning> node. The first child is a text node, the second is the <type> element. Instead of using node.InnerText, get the first child node and get the InnerText of that: node.FirstChild.InnerText. You also will have to be careful about whitespace in these situations.

Input XML file: http://distribution.customradionews.net/Forecast_XML/WKKI.xml
Background: I'm working to interpret information from the National Weather Service's National Digital Forecast Database. There are a number places I've found that make use of the Web Srvice offered by the NWS for this data. For reasons of capacity, I am directly downloading the NDFD data and generating my own XML files. So, I end up with a series of xml files, 1 for each station we serve.
I want to parse that file into a string array, such that the forecast for each 12 hours is in one line. An example of what one data line should look like, using the file as it stands at 12:55pm CDT 8/17/06:
(Note: in order to get sample values for the conditions, I had to go to a day other than today in the raw data. Null values are acceptable in any of the fields after Temp)
I don't have any sample code, because I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around how to get the data from one form to another. Why, I'm not sure. I have a feeling that once someone gets me started in the right direction, I'll be able to take it form there.
Not sure what you are asking for but here is how I interpret the XML.
All the "value" type elements (temperature, cloud-amount, weather) use a time-layout attribute to reference the [layout-key] element value that they map to. After you have the corrosponding parent element there is a one-to-one child element association.
I guess what I'm having difficulty wrapping my mind around is what type of loop I need to build to parse the code.
For instance, should I step through the period-names, using them to build element two of each record in the array, then step through the valid times, throwing them into element three, and so forth -- or should I execute 1 loop. I guess what's causing the disconnect for me is how I match (for instance) the third item in the "Daily Minimum Temperature" group with the third item in the second "time-layout" group, so I end up with a low for Saturday of 63 degrees.
I'm still enough of a noob that the code to make that matchup isn't clear to me. If someone can code a snippet that will make that matchup and output the strings "Satruday night" and "63", I'll be able to take it from there.
Thanks for your response...it helped me define the problem better, anyway1

While n < nlPeriod.Count

End Sub
However, the IDE gives "Expression Does Not Produce A Value" on Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1}", (nlPeriod.Item(n) as XmlAttribute)...the second part of the statement is okay. What did I miss?
I'm using an XPath statement ("XPath="gpx/trk/trkseg/trkpt") to bind all the trkpt elements to my data source. My goal is to return a page that displays all of the ELE data points, and numbers them according to their position in the XML file. It should read something like this:
ele = 85, position = 1
ele = 84, position = 2
ele = 82, position = 3
My DataList control correctly identifies all of the 'ele' elements using this syntax <%# XPath("ele") %>, however I have not be able to figure out how to find the position within my dataset. Using <%# XPath("position()") %> always returns 1, and everything else I have tried either returns the same number or throughs an exception. Can anyone clue me in as to what black magic is required to have XPath (I'm assuming its XPath) return its location within a series of identical elements?
There's nothing really black magic about it. The position() function really depends on context. It will return the position of the node currently being processed. It's hard to tell what you're doing from what's given. Can you post some of the code you're working on?

You can see this code being run here = http://www.loc8r.com/steve/test8.aspx
And you can see my XML file here = http://www.loc8r.com/steve/crashminus1.xml
I assumed that position() acted as you described, and if that were the case I'd suspect that the logic would be like this.
1. The ItemTemplate repeater class sets the context to the 1st TRKPT xml element. Position() should return 1.
2. The ItemTemplate repeater class increments the context to the 2nd TRKPT xml element. Position() should return 2.
3. The ItemTemplate repeater class increments the context to the 3rd TRKPT xml element. Position() should return 3.
As I mentioned position() is always returning "1", although "ele" is correctly displaying the 3 different values within the 3 different elements.
It's quite possible that position may not be at all effective when being used in this way. Take a look at this snippet:
string s = @"
<root>
<child>a</child>
<child>b</child>
<child>c</child>
</root>
";
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(s);
XmlNodeList nl = doc.SelectNodes("//child");
foreach (XmlNode n in nl)
Console.WriteLine(n.CreateNavigator().Evaluate("position()"));
This will print out all 1's as well. I imagine that behind the scenes, a very similar process is happening to execute your XPath statements. So far, I have been unable to come up with an alternative XPath that will work. You may want to do this another way.
