Am encountering the following problem.
in my xml doc, there is elment as such:
<COMMAND function="Write"><![CDATA[$:set:mode EG]]></COMMAND>
the corresponding autogen xml schema from VS.NET returned
<xs:element name="COMMAND" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" >
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="function" form="unqualified" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
my understanding is the CDATA tag is asking the xml parser to ignore what is enclosed by the CDATA tag. By the same token, i would think the xml schema should also ignore the element value of COMMAND.
well, I isolated the xml schema validation is failing at this point. How should the xml schema really be to handle CDATA?
thanks,

Our app transforms xml data with xsl into html.
I use &#160;&#xD;&#xA; (space, carriage return, line feed) to separate data on different lines that eventually is displayed on an excel spreadsheet. After each line is a square that is undesirable.
Can anyone please tell me how to get rid of this square or how to display a line feed without it?
Thanks,
Lilian

this is realted to either:
&nbap;* your character encoding in your xslt
* or the fact that excel is not recognising the line feed - try missing out the line feed.
hope this helps.

After I retrieve the transformed CComBSTR that is produced with XML and xsl, I wrote code to parse through the wstring to replace the CRLF with a \n. I guess Excel didn't like what xsl did to it.

A long time ago, I found an article on MSDN that had all the info for what version of the MSXML parser was included with what version of IE. Does anyone have a referece such as this? It was something as simple as:
IE v4.0 contains MSXML2
IE v4.1 contains MSXML2
...
IE v6.x contains MSXML3 (???)
Writing an app and if I know what version of XML was included with what version of IE (which is the standard browser), I know where to start. Know I'll need this in future apps.
Thanks!

Hi,
I have converted a delimited text file to a DataTable and added to a new DataSet. I will add more than 1 table to this DataSet.
Then my next task is to convert these tables into serveral xml files.
For example, for the Category Table, I will have to make an xml file which contain datas where category num < 1000, and another xml file which contain datas where category num > 1000. However, since the WriteXml only belongs to the DataSet Object, but not the DataTable object, how do I do this????? ??????
Please help meeeee!!!!

I'm not sure - are you asking how to write an XSL sheet to return the XML you want from the master document ? If not, this question would be better asked in the C# forum, because it relates to the .NET framework, more than XML itself.
Not wanting to be picky, it's just that, well, if you look at how many posts this forum has had, and how many the C# forum has had, you do the math. You'll get more airplay there if you're asking what I think. If you want to create an XSL, that's another matter, just say so and provide some sample XML and I'd be happy to help. I don't know the answer if the question relates to using ADO.NET components to extract a subset of the data as XML.

Oh, thank you Christian!
I guess you are right! I should have posted this message to the ADO.NET one!
How about a question like this: How to get a subset from an xml?
Example:
The spreadsheet table is like this :
Category | SubCategory | AttributeName
----------------------------------------
Ottawa Tables Dimensions
Ottawa Chairs Weight
Alberta Tables Dimensions
Kingston Tables Dimensions
Alberta Chairs Weight
Right now I have an xml file which contains all the above datas.(It's a bit long, so I didn't type it out).. What I want to do is to make a new xml file named: Ottawa.xml where it only contains the following:
<Datas>
<Entry>
<SubCategory>Tables</SubCategory>
<AttributeName>Dimensions</AttributeName>
</Entry>
<Entry>
<SubCategory>Chairs</SubCategory>
<AttributeName>Weight</AttributeName>
</Entry>
</Datas>
Is there any possible way??? Please???

Write an XSLT. One of the best ways to extract and transform XML is to write an XSLT. You can then apply the xslt to the XML and get the resulting XML.
If you need help with the xslt, you will need to post a sample of your XML. Its really simple though.

Is it possible to serialize an Exception derived class? When I try to add an exception to a System.Messaging.Message object (which internally serializes the object to XML) I receive the following error:
System.InvalidOperationException: There was an error reflecting 'Send.DALException'. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: The property 'Source' on type 'System.Exception' cannot be serialized because it is decorated with declarative security permission attributes. Consider using imperative asserts or demands in the property accessors.
What does this mean? Can I get around it?

Hi,
I have a small project: I have an XML file as input, and I need to find certain "tokens" inside it. For example, I need to find all of the "Prop1" properties (and their values), inside all "TAG1" tags:
<tag1>
..
Prop1=value1 <<-- I need to find this
..
I have no idea how to work with XML. Also, I'm looking for sth that works on NT4.0 sp5 without the need to install anything. Where do I start?????
Thanks.

I dunno if you're going to find that, you probably need the Microsoft XML stuff installed. I could be wrong about that, but certainly your starting point is XSL, the language used to generate a document from input XML. I should probably do some articles, but either way, there's plenty of info on the web.

A few questions.
What do you mean by properties. In XML you can have child elements
<Tag1>
<ChildElement> data </ChildElement>
</Tag1>
or Attributes of an element
<Tag1 childattribute="data"/>
Second. Can you clarify what you mean by without installing anything?
If you mean not installing any dll's (i.e. not updating the MSXML updates) only, that is quite different than anything. i.e. if you have a code only solution you still need to install it.
I will assume you mean the first case, so code only is ok.
If that is correct my code found here at
http://www.codeproject.com/soap/xmlmabparser.asp (sorry no clickty with html turned off for XML sample.)
can be edited to not include the MSXML parsing feature and use only an internal parser. The internal parser is about 1/10 th as fast though and please read my caveats on how text blocks are handled.
From there it is just a matter of stepping through the child elements of all elements looking for the data sets you wish, via the first/next child element functions.

I meant the attributes. At least, this is what I need at the moment.
I'll look into it, thanks.

?
(i do not know how to get value of name in item)
Thank you

May I suggest doing a search for:
XSLT value-of
in google. Now the key to answer your question is the "value-of"
Now what your are wanting is the value of something in an element.
The first item in my search lead me to this page
http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XSLTreference/W3C/xslt.html#element-value-of
As it turns out it is a good staring point. Notice sample in the copy section. It uses a select statement with an '@' prior to the name they are looking for. In a select if the name is preceeded by the '@' sign it is looking for an attribute of the element that is the current focus. With out it the select would be looking for the child element of that name.
A nother site to book mark is http://wdvl.com/Authoring/Tutorials/xml.html They have several introductions to XSLT that will cover this material.
This http://wdvl.com/Authoring/Languages/XSL/Quickly/ is one that is on their first page now.

use @ to get to attributes:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"><br />
<br />
<xsl:output method="text" encoding="iso-8859-1" indent="no" /><br />
<br />
<xsl:template match="data"><br />
<xsl:apply-templates select="item"/><br />
</xsl:template><br />
<br />
<xsl:template match="item"><br />
- <xsl:value-of select="@name"/><br />
</xsl:template><br />
<br />
</xsl:stylesheet>
