Hi, I'm working with creating a XML Schema. I almost directly became uncertain wheter / when to use attributes and when to use elements. Which is best: this: . . . or this: . . . Are there any recommendations on when to use what? regards Carl Xml Discussions MobilePhone (1) HomePhone (1) WorkPhone (1) EC95376FCC3B (1) Attributes (1) Wheter (1) CDATA (1) Meta (1) There are lots of differing views on this subject. In general I, and many others, prefer attributes for properties that are "one offs" and meta data and elements when there could be exception to this is when the property can contain large amounts of text, then using attributes can be unwieldy especially as you cannot have the equivalent of a CDATA section with an attribute's value so need to escape some characters. It also helps for later retrieval and processing if you make things as name. In the case of something like phone numbers where you could choose to have attributes for homePhone, workPhone and mobilePhone for instance I would tend to go with: although many

Hello, I'm trying to find no success so far. (Most of them XSLT though, while I'm dealing with the XML DOM). Below is a sample script. I'm trying to write a function (Escape) that would return a string that can be safely placed in the XPath expression.

I am trying to create such class that could be serialized / deserialized to / from an XML. I have chosen to use System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer serializer for that. There is a caveat though. I would like to have one of my class's members to be a string, which would contain an XML text. Here is what I mean. My XML file: I would like to be able to deserialize my RootElement and by refering to Child2 be able to access the XML string Here is what I have done so far: [Serializable] public class Child1 { private string m_szName = value; } } } [Serializable] public class Child2 { private string m_szXml; public Child1() { } [XmlAttribute("Name")] public String Xml { get { return m_szXml; } set { m_szXml = value; } } } [Serializable] public class RootElement { private Child1 m_oChild1; private Child2

Oct-12 07:37 PM I'm storing a table value in hidden field as xml(in code behind) and parsing that xml with java script. . I'm using "Server.HtmlEncode" to encode and "Encoder.htmlDecode" to decode be rendered in the browser. Hi, U may store the escaped text in the Textbox XML encoding is necessary if you have to save XML text in an XML document. If you don't escape special chars the XML to insert will become a part of the original XML DOM and not a value of a node. Escaping the XML means basically replacing 5

Hello, everyone: I have a simple request to anyone interested. We at work are aware of the (so-called) importance of XML. We have laboriously attempted to find practical uses of XML. However, in our environment, working with XML seems like a complete waste of time. For instance, we pull data from a database to a database. Recently I attempted to pull a space separated value file into an XML format and used XSLT to convert it to a comma separated value file. Well, XSLT doesn't work naturally for anything but XML. It was a waste of time and it would have been easier to just send databases and nothing in-between, I am really starting to wonder if knowing anything about XML is really all that useful to my life right now. That is why I would like for everyone reading to tell me you opinions and practical experiences with XML. Do you use XML as regularly as hype seems to say you should? Do you

22 PM In a previous post I had a question on how to create an xml file. In the end I solved the problem by using response.write every single xml line. However, somebody mentioned that this is very inefficient and I should use xmlwriter . I only understood that the xmlwriter class directly converts your data from the dbase to an xml file but I need to add some extra lines that don't come from the What I basically want to achieve is to have an aspx page that outputs some xml code. See how I solved it below and if somebody could direct me in a SqlDataReader Dim Cmd As New SqlCommand(Sql, conn) conn.Open() objDR = Cmd.ExecuteReader() Response.Write("<?xml version = ""1.0"" encoding = ""utf-8""?> " & vbLf) Response.Write("<slideshow loop = ""true"" stream = ""true""> " & vbLf Close() Response.Write("< / slideshow> ") End Sub End Class is designed to efficiently create WELL-FORMED Xml and prevent mistakes, unlike "taking a chance" by using a different method.
