Is it possible to call a comand line program from within an Xml File Preprocessor. I have a connection string that is encrypted in a settings file and i want to decrypt it before assigning it to the conString value

<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <!-- ifdef ${_xml_preprocess} -->
    <!-- <add key="conString" value="${connectionStringWithPassowrd}"/> -->
    <!-- else -->
    <add key="conString" value="connection string"/>
    <!-- endif -->
  </appSettings>
</configuration>

No. You should write code to decrypt it in a class and use that to access the values.

Hi.

How can I group values in "Type" ( xmldatasource - fill dropdownlist with distinct values ) ?

XSL:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:transform
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:output method="xml"
omit-xml-declaration="yes"
indent="yes"
standalone="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="dataroot">
<xsl:element name="dataroot">
<xsl:for-each select="Table_A">
<xsl:element name="Table_A">
<xsl:attribute name="Type">
<xsl:value-of select="Type"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>

XML:
<dataroot xmlns:od="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:officedata" generated="2009-10-21T09:21:31">
<Table_A>
<ID_I>100085004</ID_I>
<Type>GPS</Type>
<Value>0</Value>
<SDD_Date>1829-06-12T00:00:00</SDD_Date>
</Table_A>
</dataroot>

Thanks in advance !!

Clas,

can you use XSLT 2.0 instead 1.0? (If you can control the XSLT engine you use, then switch to SAXON by M. Kaye, from the web-site, you can also download all you need for .NET reuse.)

If so, <xsl:key ...=""> and the so-called Muenchian method is your friend.
All you need to know you will find here:

Um... I know you're new and all, but you just asked a dumb question. You want to use client side code, but you want it to run on the server ? How does that make sense ?

To manipulate XML, there's almost certainly a DOM implimentation in the framework you're using, but if you want specific code, the ASP.NET forum for ASP.NET or web dev for any other web platform, is the best place to ask this. Although it relates to XML, it's hard to know how to answer based on what you said. XmlDocument class if you're using .NET, otherwise I don't know. But, you can't use javascript or jquery ( which is just a javascript library, it's not a language ) on the server, nor should you want to.

Hi am a LAMP developer and our team are about to embark on a version 2 of a web based application, with an upgrade of client tier to AJAX. For client-server communication we have narrowed down the options to XML and JSON was wondering what are the benefits and drawbacks of both. Right now am leaning towards JSON?

XML to link to Image location - Word 07 [modified]

As opposed to embedding an image within a Microsoft Word 2007 document, I have been looking for the possibility of using XML to link to another location on the network where the image files would be stored locally.

Is this possible? If so, would anyone be able to help by pointing me in the direction of learning more knowledge on this subject?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated

The validation is obviously not a problem - it's that your database doesn't allow/have fields with hyphens? How are you inserting into the database?

Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

XML is of no intrinsic value to writing games. It may be used as a way to store data, but there will NEVER be a book or article called 'using XML to write games'. XML is not even a language.

How to implement tokenize in XSLT

sito428-Oct-09 21:08

sito42

8-Oct-09 21:08

I am trying to use the tokenize function and I have tried many different namespaces but was unsuccessful. With the Xalan namespace, a call to function-available('xalan:tokenize') returns false.

With EXSLT, I get the error: Variable 'ctxN' has not been declared.

What does that mean? This is what I have for my stylesheet element:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"<br />
  xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"<br />
  xmlns:str="http://exslt.org/strings" exclude-result-prefixes="str"><br />
  <xsl:include href="str.tokenize.msxsl.xsl"/>

And then, when I switch to str.tokenize.template.xsl, I get the error:

Cannot find the script or external object that implements prefix 'http://exslt.org/strings'

What am I doing wrong? I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 .NET. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Delete InnerText with its node. [modified]

hey all.
I have this code

<albume1>
<file>Mortal.mp3</file>
<file>Seek.mp3</file>
</albume1>

and need function which is written in C#.NET
to do these things

gets name of file as parameter/

void RemoveLine(string name)
{
searchs in albume1 the name lets take for example "Seek.mp3"
found one delete the whole line
<file>Seek.mp3</file>
}

so the final result/save of XML file would be :

<albume1>
<file>Mortal.mp3</file>
</albume1>

I tried with InnerText attribute but InnerText takes whole Textes which appear among the two tags

thanks

First of all, i would say that you have to remove a node not it's innertext. So you need to find the node.
Second thing, IS all the album node is named as albume1 or is it the name of the Alubum?

anyways you can remove the child node in this way.

XmlDocument _xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
if (System.IO.File.Exists(xmlDbFilepath))
{
    _xmlDoc.Load(xmlDbFilepath);
}

XmlNode albumNode = _xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("/root/album");
if (albumNode != null)
{
     foreach (XmlNode node in albumNode.ChildNodes)
     {
        if (node.InnerText.trim() == fileName)
        {
           albumNode.RemoveChild(node);
        }
     }
}

I hope it will help you.

thanks for helping i will try the code.
with regards to ur Q.
albume1 is name of the album so there will be also albume2 and albume3
and all those tags are subs.. of main tag which is <albumes>

this how my xml file looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<albumes>
<albume2>
<file>soso</file>
<file>D:\test.mp3</file>
<file>D:\test.mp3</file>
</albume2>
<koko>
<file>soso</file>
<file>D:\test.mp3</file>
<file>D:\test.mp3</file>
<file>D:\test.mp3</file>
</koko>
<Roro>
<file>D:\test.mp3</file>
<file>D:\test.mp3</file>
</Roro>
</albumes>

with regards to this line :

XmlNode albumNode = _xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("/root/album");

why have u used root's word?
i have no roots word in there

u meant it as Theory? or what i cannot get it

can you replace the line please after that i gave u clear idea about the xml.
