You got the concept.
Make a few simple examples and step through them.
If you can not justify a xslt edit/debug purchase, try cooktop.
It is free and although does not debug, it can work with several processors and you can see the output right away.

Hi all,
since days I'm looking for a solution to get the information stored in the <xsd:appinfo> or <xsd:documentation> tag from a known XmlElement (for example got by a XPath selection)... Could anybody give me a hint how I can access to this values in C#?
Here a small XML sample, the related XML Schema and C# sample code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test:TestData xmlns:test="http://xsd.mytest.com/test.xsd" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<test:Collection>
<test:Element Id="1">11.00</test:Element>
</test:Collection>
</test:TestData>
------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://xsd.mytest.com/test.xsd" xmlns:test="http://xsd.mytest.com/test.xsd" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" version="1.0">
<xsd:element name="TestData" msdata:IsDataSet="true">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="Collection">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>This is the documentation of the Collection</xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="Element" default="1.00">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>This is the documentation of the Element</xsd:documentation>
<xsd:appinfo>
<formula>5.000000 + 3.000000</formula>
</xsd:appinfo>
</xsd:annotation>
<xsd:simpleContent>
<xsd:extension base="test:ElementType">
<xsd:attribute name="Id" type="xsd:int" default="1" />
</xsd:extension>
</xsd:simpleContent>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<xsd:simpleType name="ElementType">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:double">
<xsd:minInclusive value="0.100000" />
<xsd:maxInclusive value="10.000000" />
<xsd:pattern value="\d{1,2}.\d{1,6}" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:schema>
------------------------------
XmlTextReader tr = new XmlTextReader(sXMLFile);
vr = new XmlValidatingReader(tr);
vr.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema;
XmlTextReader sr = new XmlTextReader(sSchemaFile);
XmlSchema schema = XmlSchema.Read(sr, new ValidationEventHandler(ValidationHandler));
sr.Close();
vr.Schemas.Add(schema);
vr.ValidationEventHandler += new ValidationEventHandler(ValidationHandler);
doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(vr);
vr.Close();
string selectExpr = "//test:TestData/test:Collection/test:Element";
XmlNamespaceManager nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(doc.NameTable);
nsmgr.AddNamespace("test", "http://xsd.mytest.com/test.xsd");
XmlNode root = doc.DocumentElement;
XmlNode myElementNode = root.SelectSingleNode(selectExpr, nsmgr);
------------------------------
The validation works fine and I really get the error notification, that the value of "Element" is out of range. I also get a valid myElementNode object back. But how can I read the Documentation/AppInfo out of this myElementNode? Is it impossible or am I just too stupid? Do I need to write my own parser for that?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I am using MSXML::IXMLDOMNode::baseName to get the name of the node.
i.e., the name of the following node is "modem".
<modem ID="1.6">
<Number>15400979</Number>
<Interval>5</Interval>
</modem>
Does someone know how to get the attribute of this node, i.e. "1.6"?
Thanks!
|
|
|
|
|
The node "modem" has several child nodes. One of which is the attribute node called "ID" as well as child element nodes called Number and Interval. You also has child text nodes that contain your formating text.
Given that pNode is the pointer to your "modem" node.
// Get Attributes
IXMLDOMNamedNodeMap *AtMap;
hr = pNode->get_attributes(&AtMap);
long atpos,atlen;
hr = AtMap->get_length(&atlen);
IXMLDOMNode *item;
for(atpos=0;atpos<atlen;atpos++)
{
hr =="" atmap-="">get_item(atpos,&item);
hr = item->get_baseName(&txt);
name = txt;
hr = item->get_text(&txt);
data = txt;
}
The above code will step through all of the attribute nodes and give you their base name and text value.

Hello, I am using MSXML to get HTTP response from a webserver. The problem is when I use
pIXMLHTTPRequest.CreateInstance("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
it always goes to error and can't continue to open the connection.
Can someone tell me where possibly the problem is, and why should I create the instance?
Many thanks in advance.
*****************************************
BOOL CAPIDlg::MakeRequest()
{
BOOL bRetVal=FALSE;
BSTR Result=NULL;
try{
MSXML::IXMLHttpRequestPtr pIXMLHTTPRequest;
HRESULT hResult;
hResult = pIXMLHTTPRequest.CreateInstance("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
//Test the connection
if ( FAILED(hResult) ) {
MessageBox("Fail to create the connection");
return bRetVal;
}
MessageBox("Continue anyway");
//Open the connection
pIXMLHTTPRequest->open("POST",(_bstr_t)"www.yahoo.com");
//Send the request
pIXMLHTTPRequest->send();
MessageBox("Success to open");
//Get the result
Result=pIXMLHTTPRequest->responseText;
if(Result)
//Display the result
{m_Result.SetWindowText((_bstr_t)Result);
}
else
//Report error
MessageBox("Can't make the connection");
}
catch(...) {
//Report error
MessageBox("Can't initialize the HTTP request");
}
return true;

Are you calling CoInitialize?
Ref: Applications must initialize the COM library before they can call COM library functions. From the MSDN library.
HRESULT hr = CoInitialize(NULL);
bool bRetVal;
bRetVal=false;
IXMLHttpRequestPtr pIXMLHTTPRequest;
HRESULT hResult;
hResult = pIXMLHTTPRequest.CreateInstance("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
//Test the connection
if ( FAILED(hResult) ) {
MessageBox("Fail to create the connection");
return bRetVal;
}
Workes fine for in a simple dialog initialization test.

Hi,
Using JavaScript, I want to visit all ChildNodes recursively and the tagName,getAttribute of each (if present).
Some may have a more depth of childNodes, some may not have.
Can somebody help me with a small codesnippet for the same.
I need this in JavaScript using Microsoft.XMLDOM
Thanks and Regards,

What do u need? Do u need help with recursion? Do u need the API to the MSXML DOM? The latter can be found at msdn.microsoft.com/xml along with many samples.

Hello all, this is my first project involving the use of XML data and I've run into a strange problem. First, here is the function I'm using to write a simple XML file:
public void writeXML() {
XmlTextWriter xml =
new XmlTextWriter("c:\\test.xml", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
xml.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
xml.WriteStartDocument();
int i, j, iMax, jMax;
iMax = reportData.GetUpperBound(0);
jMax = reportData.GetUpperBound(1);
try {
for (i = 0; i <= iMax; i++) {
xml.WriteStartElement("transaction");
for (j = 0; j < jMax; j++) {
xml.WriteStartElement("item");
if (reportData[i,j] != null)
xml.WriteString(reportData[i,j].ToString().Trim());
xml.WriteEndElement();
}
xml.WriteEndElement();
}
xml.WriteEndDocument();
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.Console.Write(ex.ToString());
xml.Flush();
xml.BaseStream.Flush();
}
xml.Close();
}
NOTE: reportData is a two-dimensional array of objects that contains information from a CSV/text file.
The problem is that this code throws an exception the second time through the outer loop at the line 'xml.WriteStartElement("transaction");'. This is strange to me because the first "transaction" element and its "item" children are created fine, but the second "transaction" element errors out. Am I missing something in the XML rules? Anyway, here is the exception information:
System.InvalidOperationException: Token StartElement in state Epilog would result in an invalid XML document.
at System.Xml.XmlTextWriter.AutoComplete(Token token)
at System.Xml.XmlTextWriter.WriteStartElement(String prefix, String localName, String ns)
at System.Xml.XmlWriter.WriteStartElement(String localName)
at MerchantReport.MerchantReport.writeXML() in d:\projects\bearcub\merchantreporttransformation\merchantreport\merchantreport.cs:line 290
and here is the XML document created after I flush the stream:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<transaction>
<item>12345</item>
<item>A</item>
</transaction>
Any help in finding the problem is greatly appreciated.

and xml document can have only ONE root element, when you try and add the second transaction you are creating an invalid xml document, so you need to wrap it in a "<transactions>" element.

Is there difference between XSL and XSLT or they just two name for one technology?
|
|
|
|
|
XSL is the group name for XSLT and XSLFO
really its XSL-T and XSL-FO
T was the transformation part - translating and xml document into another document.
FO was the formatting objects part - defines the presentation of an xml document for page layout.
however since XSL-FO took so long to arrive every tends to use XSL to mean XSLT.

I am using the XML namespace functions and classes in C# to create an XML file dynamically. However, when I look at the file in notepad, it's just one really really long string on the first line.
How do I include the appropriate newline and tab characters so that the file looks like a normal, logical XML file? I cant just use the normal "\n" character can I?
Do I use functions from the XmlWhitespace class or something??

You need to pass an XmlWriter to the Save method:
void SaveXml(XmlDocument doc, Stream s, Encoding encoding)
{
XmlTextWriter xtw = new XmlTextWriter(s, encoding);
xtw.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
xtw.Indentation = 1;
xtw.IndentChar = '\t';
doc.Save(xtw);
}

The C# code I'm using is shown below. The output file looks almost exactly how a basic XML file should look, I believe. My only concern is that how come the code to create it looks rather inefficient? How come I need to do "folder = doc.CreateElement("folder")" for EVERY new node that I create?? Can't I just use the "folder" object as a template for a folder element? Shouldnt all I need to do is set the attribute value and the inner text, and then reuse "folder" element object to append the new node? This is what I am saying:
<br />
XmlElement folder = doc.CreateElement("folder");<br />
<br />
folder.SetAttribute("name", "folder 1");<br />
folder.InnerText = "1st Node";<br />
root.AppendChild(folder);<br />
<br />
folder.SetAttribute("name", "folder 2");<br />
folder.InnerText = "2nd Node";<br />
root.AppendChild(folder);<br />
However, that did not work. Here's the (whole) code that does work for me:
<br />
XmlDataDocument doc = new XmlDataDocument();<br />
XmlDeclaration declaration = doc.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", null, null);<br />
doc.InsertAfter(declaration, null);<br />
<br />
XmlElement root = doc.CreateElement("file_system");<br />
doc.InsertAfter(root, declaration);<br />
<br />
XmlElement folder;<br />
<br />
folder = doc.CreateElement("folder");<br />
folder.SetAttribute("name", "folder 1");<br />
folder.InnerText = "1st Node";<br />
root.AppendChild(folder);<br />
<br />
folder = doc.CreateElement("folder");<br />
folder.SetAttribute("name", "folder 2");<br />
folder.InnerText = "2nd Node";<br />
root.AppendChild(folder);<br />
<br />
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(@"d:\XMLTest.xml", null);<br />
doc.WriteTo(writer);<br />
writer.Close();<br />
Is this the correct and most efficient way to create an XML document dynamically? Please share with me better solutions. Thanks.

yep thats pretty much the best way to do it.
the reason you need to create and instance of folder (CreateFolder) for each item is that AppendChild is appending a reference to the folder, rather than copying it.
the way you could speed/simply life is to create a template node and use CloneNode:
XmlElement templateFolder = doc.CreateElement("folder");<br />
XmlElement folder;<br />
<br />
folder = templateFolder.CloneNode();<br />
folder.SetAttribute("name", "folder 1");<br />
folder.InnerText = "1st Node";<br />
root.AppendChild(folder);<br />
<br />
folder = templateFolder.CloneNode();<br />
folder.SetAttribute("name", "folder 2");<br />
folder.InnerText = "2nd Node";<br />
root.AppendChild(folder);
hope this helps

Hello everyone, I have this XML document and I need to store the content in a C/C++ structure. So far I can use MSXML to load the document and display it but how can I get it into C/C++ struct. I'm completely new to C/C++, can anyone help me to create a C/C++ struct to hold these data and also how to get the XML into the structure created. Many thanks!

well once u have read the file into the MSXML document it is in a C/C++ structure. why would u want to copy the data into another one?

I am trying to document a class that I created with the built in XML Comments in VS.NET. I have this comment for my class:
/// <remarks>
/// Class representing a Binary Tree. Object instances inserted into this Binary Tree
/// must implement <seealso cref="System.IComparable"/>
/// </remarks>
It is my understanding that when a 'seealso' tag is encountered the compiler will create a link to the internal documentation for the class refereced with 'seealso'.
However this is not happening. It does not even print out the text 'System.IComparable' much less a link.
Is there something I am missing?
Or is my assumption wrong?
Thanks for your help!

This may be a bit long, but I will try to explain it clearly, so please read on.
I'm writing a web-based file management application (in ASP.NET/C#) that requires keeping track of a hierarchy of the names of folders and their files and subfolders (which may include their own files and subfolders). I need to store this whole organizational structure in memory at all times for quick access and modification. This structure will frequently need to be saved to a single file in some format (text, binary or xml) for storage after the application ends.
At first, I thought of using ArrayLists (one for folders and one for files). Each would be written as a single object into a binary file for storage. But I realize that it would be rather hard to manage nested folders using an ArrayList.
My next attempt is to keep track of the folders using a tree stucture. For instance, the 1st level child nodes will be the 1st level folders, and their children nodes can represent their subfolders, and so on. I need to be using a general tree, not a binary tree because a folder cna have more than 2 subfolders. However, I cannot find a Tree class in .NET anywhere. (There's not even a BinaryTree class).
But I did notice that an XML document resembles a general tree structure, which is what I need. My question is that is it possible and efficient for me to store a whole folder hierarchy in XML format?
I've never worked with XML documents before, but basically, I want to know if it possible for me to keep track of nested folders like this: (my syntax may be far from correct)
<folder name="Main Folder" folderCount="2" fileCount="1">
<folder name="Subfolder 1" folderCount="1" fileCount="0">
<folder name="Subfolder 1a" folderCount="0" fileCount="0">
</folder>
</folder>
<folder name="Subfolder 2" folderCount="0" fileCount="0">
</folder>
<file name="File 1">
</file>
</folder>
And remember, I need to be able to keep on adding as many levels of nested folders as I want. Am I able to do this with an XML structure? Also, can I dynamically add, remove or modify any folder?
MSDN says that ".NET XMLDocument class implements the W3C Document Object Model (DOM) Level 1 Core and the Core DOM Level 2. The DOM is an in-memory (cache) tree representation of an XML document and enables the navigation and editing of this document"
If I understand this correctly, it means that this "XML Document" is still an object stored in memory which will allow quick access. I can then write this object to an XML or binary file at any time.
.NET also has an easy way to load the data from the XMLDocument object into a DataSet. This can be very convenient for me because I can map this DataSet to a DataView and then display it on the screen using a DataGrid or DataList. That would be perfect.
OK. So would you suggest the XML method? Or should I just stop dreaming and find a way to manage nested folder using ArrayLists and DataTables? Please let me know. Thanks.
