I'd have to think about it a bit, but my guy tells me what you're looking for is to subclass XmlReader, which is basically a SAX parser that doesn't toss events; it's all manual.

If I think of anything better, I'll add to this...

You can specifiy an XSLT file within your XML document using <xsl:stylesheet>, which can be handy for debugging your XML document outside of your normal code-base.

If you are talking about parameters, then you can use <xsl:param> within your XSLT, which you then setup when creating your XML parser object (such as MSXML or the System.Xml) by passing in variables from your code.

Hope this helps,

Lee.

XSLT for XML attributes

I need to use XSLT to display meanigful information from my XML file .
My XML file is such that i just have elements <A> and with the condition that is always below <A>

<A Name="Main" >

<A Section="A" >


</A>
<A Section="B" >


</A>
</A>

you will find that I have no Data but all information is stored in attributes .
How do i use the "template match" and the
"value-of select" with attributes

I need output like this

My Project
Name : Main
Project : 1101

Section :A
Size: 1
Data:Data1

Section :B
Size: 1
Data:Data2

I have found that a lot of XSLT beginners have this same question. You need the "@" symbol (get it? "at"-symbol for "attributes"??).

eg:

<br />
<xsl:template match="A"><br />
  Section: <xsl:value-of select="@Section" /><br />
  Size: <xsl:value-of select="B/@Size" /><br />
  Data: <xsl:value-of select="B/@Data" /><br />
</xsl:template><br />

Xslt debugger tools recognize <msxsl:script>

Firas Rashid7-Mar-04 0:25

Does anyone know Xslt debugger tool that can recognize and debugge the
<msxsl:script> element and the embedded script inside it?

I used some debuggers like XMLSPY, but it consider a call to function
defined in embedded script like "<xsl:value-of
select='udf:somefunction();'>", it consider it as a not valid XPath
or variable.

I already know that <msxsl:script> element is Microsoft extension to
Xslt standards so its not expected to find alot -if not at all- of
debuggers dealing with such element, but maybe someone can guide me
here.

Thanx in advance.

getting start and end text in a node?

Hi,

i have a html'ish xml that i want to transform into real html . like this:

"some plain text <bold>somebold <italic>some bold-italic text</italic> more bold </bold> more plain text"

i want to output that to html like this:
"some plain text somebold some bold-italic text more bold more plain text"
how do i do this?

ive created an xslt file that contains a match tag for each of my custom tags.
like this:

<xsl:template match="italic"><br />
	<i>***<br />
	<xsl:value-of select="*"/>		<br />
	<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/><br />
	***</i><br />
</xsl:template>

the problem is that i dont know how to output the text inside the tags in a good way..

take the following sample

"<bold>hello<italic>this</italic>is a <italic>test</italic>blabla</bold>"

how can i do to make "hello","is a","blabla" to be outputted as bold text?
if i do as above with the value-of , it just outputs the whole innertext as a single string and then applies the templates..

don't use value-of, get rid of that line and chage you apply-templates to select="*|text()"

In Perl the type of a variable is known at compile time (as indicated by the $ or @ or % prefix). Or did you mean the type of data that a reference is pointing to? In that case, use the ref function.
And BTW look at the Data::Dumper module, it might already do what you want.

Hi,

I'm Ratnakar Pedagani. I'm a starter of XML/XSL and doing coding stuff using java, i.e basic parsing stuff. I want to do my course project and searching for that. The project should implement an XML application that is modeled on a real application and uses Java, database, and XML. I thought of doing project based on weblogs but i got no idea what is weblogs. Can you people suggest me in these lines? If at all you have your own ideas please let me know. I would be grateful to you people if you could let me know as soon as possible. Possible References makes my work much easier.

Thanking you,
Ratnakar Pedagani.

A XML File is a plain text file... because this cannot be password protected. You can to cryptograph it with the classes of namespace "System.Security.Cryptography" in .Net Framework or CryptoAPI (in Win32 API)

Good Luck!

MSXML: troubles with "insertBefore" in Microsoft Visual C++

Bash24-Feb-04 23:19

Hi Gurus!

I have the simplest xml document (d:\\book.xml):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Report>
...
</Report>

I've written the small program (inserting XSL reference in the prolog):

Dim xmlDoc,pi,ref
set xmlDoc = CreateObject ("Msxml.DOMDocument")
xmlDoc.async = false
xmlDoc.resolveExternals = false
xmlDoc.load ("d:\\book.xml")
ref="type=""text/xsl"" href=""mysheet.xsl"""
set pi = xmlDoc.createProcessingInstruction("xml-stylesheet",ref)
xmlDoc.insertBefore pi,xmlDoc.childNodes.item(1)
WScript.Echo(xmlDoc.xml)

It works fine!

Next, I tried to do the same using Microsoft Visual C++:

IXMLDOMDocumentPtr XmlDocPtr;
_bstr_t bstrXMLReport(_T("d:\\book.xml");
VARIANT_BOOL vtResult;
HRESULT hr = XmlDocPtr.CreateInstance(MSXML::CLSID_DOMDocument);

if (FAILED(hr))
{
AfxMessageBox("Failed to CreateInstance(CLSID_DOMDocument)");
return;
};

XmlDocPtr->async=FALSE;
XmlDocPtr->resolveExternals=FALSE;

vtResult=XmlDocPtr->load(bstrXMLReport);
if (vtResult == VARIANT_FALSE)
{
AfxMessageBox("Failed to load XML document");
return;
};

IXMLDOMProcessingInstructionPtr pi;
_bstr_t bstrTarget(_T("xml-stylesheet"));
_bstr_t bstrData(_T("type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"mysheet.xsl\""));
pi=XmlDocPtr->createProcessingInstruction(bstrTarget,bstrData);
BSTR qqq;
pi->get_xml(&qqq);

CComVariant varRef;
IXMLDOMNodePtr pFirst,pXMLNodeCur;
XmlDocPtr->childNodes->get_item(1,&pFirst);
varRef=pFirst;

try
{
XmlDocPtr->insertBefore(pi,t);
AfxMessageBox(XmlDocPtr->xml);
}
catch(_com_error &er)
{
TCHAR szErr[MAX_PATH];
memset(szErr,0,sizeof(szErr));
_tcscpy(szErr,(LPCTSTR)er.Description());
AfxMessageBox(szErr);
};

After that, I've got the exception "The parameter is incorrect."
Why? I suspect the incorrect usage of insertBefore method.

What should I do?

Yours sincerely,
Alex Bash
