is this the proper forum for xml related questions? I have a problem on a stylesheet I would like to discuss.

by kevin

Does anyone have a simple stylesheet that makes all the elements in a fairly multi-level xml file become children of the root node?

by kevin

I am using a stylesheet to convert xml to html. It calls for a repeating element to display in a certain typestyle and font within an html table. The first element appears just fine, however all the others are missing. IE leaves a gap of white spacewhere the element should appear, but it does not. They all seem to be there until I begin to scroll. Does anyone know what might cause this?

In one of the articles you have used the package javax.xml.transform , I use jdk1.3.1 and I can not find it.
Where can I find it?

Hi,

Is it possible to convert xml data into a .pdf file formatt. I have looked everywhere but can't find anything. I am particularly looking to use VB or SQL Server 2000 to enable the conversion. Any ideas????? This would be very much appreciated!

by ken.ross

Yes. The easiest way I know is to transform the output with an XSLT into XSL-FO and then use and XSL-FO processor to render it to PDF.

Antennahouse has a XSL-FO processor which renders PDF documents. When last I knew you can download an eval copy from their website.

HTH,

Ken R.

The Feb. 19, XML TechMail discusses the key element pattern. Have you used the key element pattern to process your XML documents? Tell us how you used it and why.

by zitts

I don't understand what you mean by that. Are you using recursion or placing it in the output with a value-of element? What is in the output file where you expect the elements?

by kevin

I am using a for-each that points to a template with apply-templates to find the elements and place them in an html table, which it does correctly. In the template I am using a value-of, inside a html heading tag. The first element shows up in IE asdo the others, however, when I begin to scroll, only the first element remains the others are gone with only the white background space of the table cell showing

Populate a C# form with XML data:

The Feb. 26, XML TechMail discusses processing XML data with C# and the .NET Framework. Have you used C# and the .NET Framework to process XML data? Do you prefer other platforms for performing these processes? Tell us about it.

I am completely new to C# and .NET programming and I was wondering if this should work in ASP.NET using C#. I have the free copy of ASP.NET Web Matrix and coded exactly as suggested except using a web form instead of a C# form and using <%@ import Namespace="System.Xml" %> instead of "using System.Xml"; When I try to run the page I get "Compiler Error Message: CS0246: The type or namespace name 'openFileDialog1' could not be found". I suppose I can't use an open file dialog in a web page. What could I do in this situation? Or am I way off base here?

...it's because of the "&" which seems to be handled as a special char. sorry for the bothering.. :)

Your request to move all elements to the root node, means that there will be no root element for the transformed XML. Here's the XSL that transforms XML documents (w/o namespaces) to what you requested...
