Create multiple pages

Hi all,

I have an xml with a lot of data. Currently all the data are transformed into one html page using xsl. It is displayed using an HTML control in VC++. This control has a particular height and so a vertical scrollbar will be displayed if the page is larger.

My requirment is that I need to split this page to multiple pages to avoid this scrollbar. And there should be "previous" and "next" buttons for showing each pages.

Could anybody direct me to the solution? I am newbie in xsl and html.

Thanks in advance

Well without having intimate knowledge of your XML that would be rather difficult. Understanding the XML, the nature of the Data in the XML and the HTML Page requirements are all required to even start thinking about how to proceed. Potentially you will also need to go fairly deep in reusing the browser control to deal with the interaction for next/back type behavior unless you are just going to create temporary files on a local drive.

Thank you for the replay...

Actually the XML has values that can be shown as tables, most probably some numbers. The output is generally having tables with a number of rows. If the displayed data height exceeds the visible area, I need to break the table (which hits the bottom) and let the remaining parts be shown in the next page. If so, the data will be shown in more than one page.

I cannot do in such a way because I am updating a currently running project. Also no file is generated physically, but it is handled by the VC++ controls.

Thank you.

Actually my project contains many xsl and xml handling as I noted before. That is why I cant change the VC++ control for HTML behaviour right now. Instead of that I should manage the xsl and html template to get the expected results.

Also I dont have any experience in this area of xsl and html... I am doing a self study, that might be why I cant explain things better. Sorry.

Thank you for your reply.

Validation of unknown subclass [modified]

Hi,

I have a problem with validation a list of different subclasses. The are all derived from one base class(ElementBase).
I want to make the schema future-proof by adding a placeholder.

Here a short example

< xs:element name="Elements">
 < xs:complextype>
  < xs:choice minoccurs="0" maxoccurs="unbounded">
   < xs:element name="BaseElement" type="ElementBase" />
   < xs:element name="Sphere" type="ElementSphere" />
   < xs:element name="Cone" type="ElementCone" />
   < xs:element name="Cylinder" type="ElementCylinder" />
    HERE I need a placeholder
  < /xs:choice>         
 < /xs:complextype>
< /xs:element>

My idea was to make another complex type with an any Parameter like followed.

< xs:complextype name="FurtherElements">
    < xs:complexcontent>
      < xs:extension base="ElementBase">
        < xs:sequence>
          < xs:any minoccurs="0" maxoccurs="unbounded" />
        < /xs:sequence>
      < /xs:extension>
    < /xs:complexcontent>
  < /xs:complextype>

But how do I put this into the choise statement? I still don't know the name of the future elements (but xs:element needs one: < xs:element name="" type ="FurtherElements"/>). Is there any workaround to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot

Best practices for programmatically creating XML storage files

jesarg6-Jun-08 9:43

I need to programmatically create XML storage files, and I've seen what people do in articles.

It seems that most people just use the XmlWriter class, manually writing low-level elements one at a time. However, I was wondering if there's a more elegant way to accomplish this task; for instance, a single function that says:

"Make a 'hello' node as the child of 'root'->'greetings'->'hi'"

where the 'hello' node is fully defined in a class before being inserted.

Use an XmlDocument, fill it, and use .WriteTo ?

I have a very basic question. Please help.

I have a table:
Name Friend

dt.WriteXml(sw);

I would like the output to be in this format:
<name>Jane
<friends>
<friend>Rachelle
<friend>Mark
<friend>Bob

I would just like Friend element/s to be inside Name element.

Please help. Thank you.

xsl:for-each question

Dewald4-Jun-08 3:59

4-Jun-08 3:59

Hi all, I hope someone can help. I'm new to XSL so this might be pretty straight forward.

I have a section of XML that looks something like this:

<PhysicalAddr><br />
		<Line>Physical line 1</Line><br />
		<Line>Physical line 2</Line><br />
		<Line>Physical line 3</Line><br />
	</PhysicalAddr>

I'm trying to transform this with <xsl:for-each select="Line"> but seeing as the <code<line>> tags have no children tags, I'm not sure how to return the contents of each by using the <code><xsl:value-of select="???"> element. In other words, what do I replace the ??? with?

Am I making my question clear enough and could anyone help perhaps?

Generating XML Schema of SQL Server 2005 Database

hi,

I have been given a requirement in which they say: Look into how we can generate an XML Schema of an SQL Server 2005 Express Database. The first thing that came to my mind was that we can create a Typed DataSet in VS 2005 but I just wanna know if there is someother option available as well

Thanks in advance

You mean the step that generates the schema that is used to generate the typed dataset?

I have not looked into it but I would guess there are plenty of other options. Since you posted 10 hours ago I won't bother Googling because you probably already have. Wink | ;)

Hello,

I try to build a enum type in my DTD scheme. The enum type contains some special characters which I don't know how to deal with it, here is my dtd structure

Operator ( > | >= | < | <= | == ) #REQUIRED>

The system said the enum type is invalid since I am using '>', '>=" ... these character in my enum list. I try to search the web and did not find anything talk about how can I define a special character in my enum list. Any one have any idea? Thanks for advance!

Trouble with VB.NET and XPath

Dominick Marciano29-May-08 6:52

Dominick Marciano

29-May-08 6:52

I was told that I may be able to get better help in this forum so I am reposting my question here.

I'm trying to write a program that navigates an XML file with XPath but I'm having trouble if the XML file is structured a certain way. For example here is the code that navigates the XML file:

Dim XDoc as XPathDocument
Dim xmlNav as XPathNavigator
Dim xmlNI as XPathNodeIterator

XDoc = new XPathDocument("C:\sop.xml")
xmlNav = XDoc.CreateNavigator
xmlNI = xmlNav.Select("/SOP_FILE/QuestionList/Question")

While xmlNI.MoveNext
    MsgBox(xmlNI.Current.Name & " - " & xmlNI.Current.Value)
End While

This was just a test function I wrote to try out because this is my first time using XPath; hence it doesn't do much. Now, if I the XML is formated as follows, a message box is never displayed because the xmlNI count is zero:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SOP_FILE xmlns="http://schemas.mycompany.com/SOP" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<QuestionList>
<Question Number="1">
<Text>Has a risk assessment been conducted?</Text><Choice Text="Yes" Index="1" PointsTo="2" />
</Question>
<Question Number="2">
<Text>Has an inspection been conducted?</Text><Choice Text="Yes" Index="1" PointsTo="3" />
<Choice Text="No" Index="2" PointsTo="4" />
</Question>
<Question Number="3">
<Text>Is the property lead-based paint free?</Text>
</Question>
</QuestionList>
</SOP_FILE>

However if the second line of the XML file is changed to:

<SOP_FILE>

Instead of:

<SOP_FILE xmlns="http://schemas.mycompany.com/SOP" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

Then the test function works properly and loops through all the questions. Can someone please explain to me why this is happening and how to modify the test function so it will work properly. Thanks in advance for any help.

When you have a namespace in your XML document, you have to account for it in your XPath expression whether it is the default namespace or not. Look up "XmlNamespaceManager" in the System.Xml namespace.
