which begs the question, how do I pass a class through to a web service?
|
|
|
|
|
how do you serialize, and later deserialize some object? by using the same type, i.e. the same assembly, for both operations, whether they are executed by one or more processes. A web service doesn't change that. If one party has set the type, the other party has to agree on using the same type.
|
|
|
|
|
Good question - how do you serialize the object? As stated in the opening question, I have never had to serialize anything - meaning no experience.

Then start by studying the subject. Read the relevant chapter in your C#/VB.NET book, then go and look for some of those excellent CodeProject articles, and finally apply what you have learned. You're probably too old for spoon feeding anyway.

Hi Friends,
I am creating an xml file with excel vba. Now I wanted to add attributes to the xml child nodes..Please kindly help..
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Priya.

One option would be to use MS XML Core Services COM.
Add a reference to the MS XML V6 library from the Tools Reference menu in the VBA editor.
You can then refere to the MSDN documentation on how to use this with VB.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms763742(v=VS.85).aspx[^]
The example below will load an XML file from hdd.
Public Sub editXML()
Dim xmlfile As New DOMDocument
xmlfile.Load ("c:\users\dave auld\desktop\test.xml")
End Sub

Hi
Thanks. WIthout using XNL COM, I tried the following by directly giving in the tag line itself.
/Policy_Years Attribute=""1,1,0,1,16711680,2,0,0,1,16711680,0,0,0,0,0,0.5,10,Arial,1"" Attribute2=""""/Policy_Years-"
The above line I am spliting with /, then the first tag will be
<policy_years attr....="">
<policy_years-1>10
But when i give attribute like above I am getting error:
A name contained an invalid character. Error processing resource 'file:///D:/PIMSlite/Output/PolicyLocation.xml'. Line 15,...
</Policy_Years Attribute="1,1,0,1,16711680,2,0,0,1,16711680,0,0,0,0,0,0.5,10,Arial,1" Attribute2="">
---------------^
Is any error in the line where I have specified Attribute..
Thanks again.
Regards,
Priya.

You don't put attributes in the closing tags, you put them in the opening tag;
<tag attribute="some value">tag value</tag>
also, if you look at the first line you have 2 double quotes which is not valid.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Actually I am keeping attribute only in opening tag and also i am keeping "" since in the code it is expecting.
If i simply give <tag attribute="">value
it is giving error.It is not accepting from code.
Please help.
Regards,
Priya.

Thanks lot.

1) can you edit your message and put the code in a code block with an attribute lang="vb", so it formats something more readable!
2) Do not user On Error Resume Next, how else will you trap problems
Change to On Error Goto ERROR_HANDLER, then at the end of the function put;
<PRE lang="vb">
' Return the HTML string...
fGenerateXML = strXML
Exit Function
ERROR_HANDLER:
MSGBOX "Error: " & Err.description
End Function
</pre>
3) You are doing far too much in the single function, split it up into smaller helper functions, one to create nodes, one to add attributes etc. It will be easier to program and follow.

I need to add attributes to the tags highlighted in bold and some more also..i just highlighted less...
Thanks lot.

You have some wierdness going on around your arrays, either i am missing something or your code is wrong, here are all the NodeStack references;
Line 141: Dim NodeStack() as String
Line 168: ReDim NodeStack(0)
Line 229:
For i = 1 To UBound(Nodes)
If i <= UBound(NodeStack) Then
If Trim(Nodes(i)) <> Trim(NodeStack(i)) Then
MatchAll = False
Exit For
End If
Else
MatchAll = False
Exit For
End If
Next
Up until this point NodeStack does not contain any values, it is a completly empty array, but yet you are trying to compare values etc from it.
It is not until later in your code that you give it any values by NodeStack = Nodes, and that is only if Nodes does actually contain values.
I suspect your code is throwing exceptions, but because you current On Error Resume Next you are not seeing them.

Hi,
Code is working fine. I tried by removing on error resume next. Problem is that if i add attribute to that tags which is like Attribute="1,1,1,..."
then it is giving error.
I am not sure the way to keep the attributes there.
Or is there any way after generation of an xml, can we open that xml file and add attributes to that?
Regards,
Priya.

I had a think about what i had written, and no it won't throw an excpetion, All that will happen is MatchAll will always be False so that code is effectively doing nothing (because 1 or higher is always greater than 0).
All you are doing is generating a bunch of strings and bolting them altogether.
After you generate the xml and the function exits, have you had a look at the XML file to see what it looks like?

Hi Dave,
Thanks. Yes XML looks good.

In that case all you are doing now then is adding the attributes to the node.
Create a helper function like; getNodeAttributes(node as integer) as string
In it, test node to see which attributes you need to build, then return them in the function, if the node does not need any attributes, then return an empty string.
Then modify;
strXML = strXML & "<" & Nodes(t) & ">"
to
strXML = strXML & "<" & Nodes(t) & getNodeAttributes(t) & ">"
simples........

Hi Dave,
Thanks lot.
I tried adding the funtion like :
Function getNodeAttributes(node As String) As String
Dim str_att As String
If node = "Policy_Years" Then
str_att = "Attribute=" & "1,1,0,1,16711680,2,0,0,1,16711680,0,0,0,0,0,0.5,10,Arial,1"" Attribute2="""
End If
End Function
and also changed
strXML = strXML & "<" & Nodes(t) & getNodeAttributes(Nodes(t)) & ">"
Just tried assigning attribute to only one node. But I am not getting any in the output for the tag Policy_Years.
Please Help..
Regards,
Priya.

Of course you wont, your passing across the node index not the node name;
priyaahh wrote: strXML = strXML & "<" & Nodes(t) & getNodeAttributes(Nodes(t)) & ">"
change to;
strXML = strXML & "<" & Nodes(t) & getNodeAttributes("Policy_Years") & ">"

Hi Dave,
Still no its not showing... 
Is there any other way to implement this?
Regards,
Priya.

Well i fail to see what you are doing wrong. Don't give in!
At the end of the day, all you are doing is simple string manipulation, it doesn't matter if it is in XML format or any other text based format.
If your output XML file shows the attributes after your text generation then it is working.
If your output does not show the attributes, then your code is wrong.
You maybe need to start putting in extra breakpoints, debug.print(), or message boxes statements through your code until you can find out what is going on. everytime you generate a node or an attribute use these statements to see what the string is before and after. That way you will be able to see what you are getting versus what you are expecting at each stage. This is basic troubleshooting. As i have stated before your function is way to big, and you really need to restructure and break out lots of smaller helper functions which can then be called to piece the final text XML string.
As i say, this is basic string manipulation, so something obvious is wrong somewhere!

Hi Dave,
Thanks really!...
I am planning another way. TO open the xml file generated and then adding attributes to elements.
If you dont mind can you please give me example for this. Yes i remember, you have sent me the reference to DOM Methods for implementing this. But at this point of time with so much stress i cannt think of anything and this have to completed asap i do not have even hours of time...pls pls help..
Thanks in advance..reply if ur online
Regards,
Priya

No that is not the way to go, you are making things harder for your self, you will then have to read, parse, inject , save strings.
You have already got a function that generates a valid XML file, so you are 99% of the way there.
Have you done what i have suggested with regards to breakpoints and or debug statements?
strategically place them in your code, and you will see where the attributes you have added are then disappearing (if they are disappearing at all that is).
Also, in the previous message did you replace both instances of the code where you inject the attribute function? you have 2 lines that do it depending on the state of some value. Did you please a debug statement in your attribute function to prove it is being called? Did you add a debug.print statement to see what it was adding to the string?

Dave,
<pre attribute="vb">
Yes I did debut and breakpoints.
Actually I have to keep getNodeAttribute function in the first set not in the second set. I examined that.
During call of the above function i print the var in immediate window. it is printing like :
Attribute=1,1,0,1,16711680,2,0,0,1,16711680,0,0,0,0,0,0.5,10,Arial,1" Attribute2="
but when it go back to the main line from where are calling the function it is not returning anything..
Hope u might got my explanation..pls help
This is my function:
Function getNodeAttributes(node As String) As String
dim str_att as string
If node = "Policy_Years" Then
str_att = "Attribute=" & "1,1,0,1,16711680,2,0,0,1,16711680,0,0,0,0,0,0.5,10,Arial,1"" Attribute2="""
ElseIf node = "Loss_Descriptions" Then
str_att = "Attribute=" & "1,1,0,1,16711680,2,0,0,1,16711680,0,0,0,0,0,0.5,10,Arial,1"" Attribute2="""
Debug.Print str_att
End If
End Function
Calling the above function from the below line:
strXML = strXML & "<" & Nodes(t) & getNodeAttributes(Nodes(t)) & ">"
I wanted output like:
<Adjusted_Loss_PD Attribute="1,1,0,1,16711680,2,0,0,1,16711680,0,0,0,0,0,0.5,10,Arial,1" Attribute2="">
<Adjusted_Loss_PD-1 />
<Adjusted_Loss_PD-2 />
<Adjusted_Loss_PD-3 />
<Adjusted_Loss_PD-4 />
<Adjusted_Loss_PD-5 />
<Adjusted_Loss_PD-6 />
<Adjusted_Loss_PD-7 />
<Adjusted_Loss_PD-8 />
<Adjusted_Loss_PD-9 />
<Adjusted_Loss_PD-10 />
</Adjusted_Loss_PD>
</pre>
