xpath Vs xml validation with xsd - C# Discussion Boards

the blocking method is the "taking image" (GetImage) method. it's waiting till a signal is triggering the device DIRECTLY. for the device i can setup a "timeout" which i have to set to some seconds. so my problem is not the entire infinite busy loop, it's the GetImage method, which is not returning until it gets a trigger or a timeout occurs. because of this i put it in a seperate thread, to get the gui not blocked.

i'm also confused Hmmm | :|

btw: i'm using: winxp + .net 2 + usb connected camera device

Then it depends on how the GetImage is implemented. If it doesn't allow other threads to run while it's waiting, it won't make any difference that it runs in a different thread than the GUI.

If I understand it correctly, the process scheduler can fully handle the time sharing between applications, but it depends on all the threads in an application to cooperate for the time sharing to work between the threads within the application.

hm... i see, so that means, there is a difference between the implementation for c++ and c#.net (which is an activex control) for this method/class. i think, i should directly contact the support for the device because it's not more looking as a .net problem, more like the implementation...

thanks guffa

Hello,

I think you also have to invoke the display method, as you are getting the image instance from an other thread!

All the best,

Martin

hi martin,

worth to try, but i don't think so... the image is displayed correctly. just the "taking image" method causes the problem, it's waiting the whole "timeout" time for a signal (trigger) and if any occurs, then the image is coming. because of the waiting (and blocking the gui) i'm forced to use a thread. Hmmm | :|

criss

Hello,

Yes I know that this is not going to solfe your problem.
I just think if your thread is finished (and you display this image which you are getting from the thread) you will see the original image before you started the thread.

For your problem:
Mabe a Application.DoEvents() helps you.

All the best,

Martin

thanks to all i bothered with my problem. i could solve it by contacting the devices support... it really just depends on my GetImage method.

anyway. greetings

criss

Initially XML file is like this

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<lasers>
<laser LaserName="Laser1" ModelName="Nufern v1.0" SerialNo="1" ManufacturerName="Nufern v1.0" Maximumpower="200w" >
<properties">
<image>CW-Waveform.jpg</image>
<WaveTypes>
<WaveType Name="CW Ramp" url="ramp.html" isavailable="true" />
<WaveType Name="CW Analog" url="analog.html" isavailable="true" />
</WaveTypes>
<tabular>
<property id="228" name="BRM" currval="0" prgbar="true" selected="true" min="0" max="100" pwd="true" units="C" gauge="false" thresholdval="10" />
<property id="200" name="Output power" currval="0" prgbar="true" selected="true" min="0" max="100" pwd="false" units="C" gauge="true" thresholdval="10" />
</tabular>
</properties>
</laser>
</lasers>

then

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>namespace is EncryptDecrypt

XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
xmldoc.Load(Application.StartupPath + @"\laserProp.xml");
XmlNamespaceManager mgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(xmldoc.NameTable);
mgr.AddNamespace(string.Empty, "urn:MyNamespace");
XmlNodeList xmlnodelist;
XmlElement ele = xmldoc.DocumentElement;
xmlnodelist= ele.SelectNodes("//lasers//laser//properties//tabular//property",mgr);

Is working fine but, to validate xml with xsd i made changes to the xml as

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<lasers xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ns="urn:MyNamespace" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:MyNamespace laserProp.xsd">
<laser LaserName="Laser1" ModelName="Nufern v1.0" SerialNo="1" ManufacturerName="Nufern v1.0" Maximumpower="200w" xmlns:ns="urn:MyNamespace">
<properties xmlns:ns="urn:MyNamespace">
<image>CW-Waveform.jpg</image>
<WaveTypes>
<WaveType Name="CW Ramp" url="ramp.html" isavailable="true" />
<WaveType Name="CW Analog" url="analog.html" isavailable="true" />
</WaveTypes>
<tabular>
<property id="228" name="BRM" currval="0" prgbar="true" selected="true" min="0" max="100" pwd="true" units="C" gauge="false" thresholdval="10"/>
<property id="200" name="Output power" currval="0" prgbar="true" selected="true" min="0" max="100" pwd="false" units="C" gauge="true" thresholdval="10"/>
</tabular>
</properties>
</laser>
</lasers>

Now the same xpath is working fine but getting validation errors
my xml scheema file is(xsd file)

Your XPath is still looking for elements from the empty namespace, since you cannot associate a namespace with the empty string as prefix. Unfortunately XPath has no mechanism like declaring a default namespace. You have to associate your namespace with an explicit prefix and use this to qualify all element names in your XPath expression.

No xpath is working fine but getting validation errors like

couldn't fine the lasers element and etc

thanks

Ok I see, but the problem is quite similar. You get the validation errprs since your XML document isn't valid according to the schema. The schema expects the elements to be in the "urn:myNamespace" namespace but all of the elements in your document are in the empty namespace (that's why the XPath is working). Either you prefix the elements in your document with the prefix to which you have associated the namespace (using the "xmlns:ns="urn:myNamespace") or much easier you declare your namespace to be the default namespace ("xmlns="urn:myNamespace" on the root element).

I know and I told you why in my first posting. Maybe you do a bit research on XML namespaces, since you're obviously not getting the concept. You could start with the W3C Recommendation Namespaces in XML 1.0 (Second Edition)[^], which in contrast to other W3C documents is quite comprehensible.

I've answered this twice, and you've posted it six times. Did you ever consider taking the advice you'v been given ?

You need to tell politely, As new users in intention to get immediate reply might do it !! So as a senior member of this site you need to give proper advice

Proper advice ? I've told him exactly what is wrong, twice. I've told him several times to stop asking again and again, and that he should try to do what has been advised to him, or at least ask a question that indicates he tried what he's been told ( at least three times, two from me ), to do.

Actually, Christian is perfectly entitled to his frustration and anger. If you take the trouble to look through the posting history of the OP, you will see that he has asked the same question again and again. He has been given advice on what he needs to do many times, and Christian is one of the people who has told him what he needs to do. It is insulting to the people who have tried to help him for the OP to repost the question.

If you follow the threads, you will see that he is given advice on what he needs to do, but the poster does not seem to want to actually do the work. He wants somebody else to actually do his thinking for him. This is not the intention of this site. It is about people freely volunteering their time to help others, and help very rarely involves actually doing the thinking for somebody else. If somebody presents you with a complete solution to a problem then what do you learn? Only that somebody else knows how to troubleshoot/problem solve, and that is not helping you in any way.

Ok, No problem at all... I agree with what you say as far as learning is concerned !!!

Mental no. Ignorant Yes.

Yeah, so it would seem. I mean, does he not want to solve the problem ? One has to assume he's achieved nothing at work for several days, while he waits for the laws of computing to change, so that a different answer suddenly solves his issues.

It's this attitude that really bugs me. With several of the consultancies churning out "developers", this is the end result. Give them a problem to solve, or a chance to learn and they flounder hopelessly out of their depth.

Will you please, please, please stop spamming this board. You have had the answer many times, but you seem incapable of doing any research on your own. Will you get it through your head? People aren't here to write your code for you - they're here to help.

hi all,
How can i create a tree which allow me to drag the tree childs and drop it in to the textbox.Is it possible? can any one help me to do this? Frown | :(

ayyp

You should ask in the ASP.NET forum. It can be done, it involves a lot of javascript, and no real C# code.
