Deserializing a xml document for sending it using a WebService

Hi,

I have a XML document (that I've got from an InfoPath form) and it has its namespaces.I'd like to deserialize this XML document into a type and send it to a WebService.The type has been generated when I referenced the WebService in my project.
When I try to deserialize the XML document I get a "xmlns was not expected" error thrown by XmlSerializer.
What should I do to either remove namespaces from the XML document or introduce them to XmlSerailizer so It can recognize QNames?

Regards

comparing two XML files

I have two XMls having same node and different data(innertext)
I want to compare these two xmls and if there is any change then save the new one into the database
and if both are same then do not save the data

How can I compare these XML data?

say I have two XMLs

string xml1= originalDataXML;
string xml2= editedDataXML;

How can I compare these two in C# and ASP.NET 2.0?

You don't know how to compare two strings? How about String.Compare[^] Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

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.

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
Jane Rachelle
Jane Mark
Jane Bob

and I used
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 | ;)
