Function to read xml result using ExecuteXmlReader :

public void ExecuteReaderGetXmlDoc(string p_strSPName , SqlParameter[]

p_arrSqlParams, ref XmlDocument p_xmlDoc )

{

SqlCommand l_objCommand;

          StringBuilder l_objStrBuilder;

          XmlReader l_objXmlReader;

          try

          {

             if (this.OpenConnection())

             {

                    l_objCommand = new SqlCommand();

                   l_objCommand.Connection = _objConnection;

                   l_objCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

                   l_objCommand.CommandText = p_strSPName;

                   if (p_arrSqlParams != null)

                   {

this.AddCommandParameter(p_arrSqlParams, ref l_objCommand);

                   }

                   l_objXmlReader =(XmlReader) l_objCommand.ExecuteXmlReader();

                   l_objXmlReader.Read();

                   l_objStrBuilder = new StringBuilder();

                   // add root node

                   l_objStrBuilder.Append("<Root>");

                   while(l_objXmlReader.ReadState != ReadState.EndOfFile)

                   {

                             // append xmlNode

                             l_objStrBuilder.Append(l_objXmlReader.ReadOuterXml());

                   }

                   // close root node

                   l_objStrBuilder.Append("</Root>");

                   p_xmlDoc.LoadXml(l_objStrBuilder.ToString());

             }

                            

          }

          catch (Exception ex)

          {

                   throw ex;

          }

          finally

          {

                   l_objCommand = null;

                   this.CloseConnection();

                   this._objConnection = null;

          }

}

 

Function to populate list from xml [ Code behind ] :

 

private void PopulateCategoriesList(XmlNodeList 

p_xmlCategoryNodeList,XmlDocument p_xmlDoc)

{

ListItem l_objListItem;

          int i = 0;

          try

          {

                    foreach(XmlNode categoryNode in p_xmlCategoryNodeList)

                   {

                             l_objListItem = new ListItem();

                             l_objListItem.Value = categoryNode.Attributes.Item(0).Value ;

                             l_objListItem.Text = categoryNode.Attributes.Item(1).Value ;

                             // set item color

                             if (i % 2 == 0)

                             {

                                       l_objListItem.Attributes.Add("class","ListItem");                                           }

                             else

                             {

                                       l_objListItem.Attributes.Add("class","ListAltItem");                              }

                             lstCategory.Items.Add(l_objListItem);

                             i += 1;

                             // remove categoryNode

                             p_xmlDoc.DocumentElement.RemoveChild(categoryNode);

                   }

          }

          catch(Exception ex)

          {

                   throw ex;

          }                 

}

 

Function to populate list from xml [ Client Side ] :                

 

 

if(this.XmlNodeList == null)

{

          alert("NodeList not assigned");

          return false;

}

var nodeListLength = this.XmlNodeList.length;

this.ListCtrl.options.length = 0;

for(var i=0; i<nodeListLength; i++)

{

          var objListItem = document.createElement("option") ;

objListItem.value = this.XmlNodeList.item(i).attributes(1).text;

          objListItem.text = this.XmlNodeList.item(i).attributes(2).text;

// set item color

          if (i%2 == 0)

          {

                    objListItem.style.background = this.ITEM_COLOR;

          }

          else

          {

                   objListItem.style.background = this.ALT_ITEM_COLOR;                                 }

          this.ListCtrl.add(objListItem);

}

this.ListCtrl.selectedIndex = -1;     

 

Getting result from code behind function using AJAX :

 

function getProductOrders(p_intProductId)

{

          try

          {

                    if(p_intProductId != "")

                   {

                             // call displayProcess() before calling send() of XmlHTTP

                             Message.displayProcess("Searching orders ");

          var strURL = "Demo.aspx?IsCallback=1&ProductId=" +

p_intProductId;

                             this.xmlhttp.Open("POST",strURL, false);                  

                             this.xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = process_OrdersResult;                                      this.xmlhttp.send(null);

                   }

                   else

                   {

                             Message.display("Please select product !");

                             return false;

                   }

          }

          catch(e)

          {

                   alert("Error in getProductOrders() : " + e.message);

          }                          

}

         

Transform xml data using XSLT    :

function transformXmlDoc()

{

          try

          {

document.getElementById("tdOrderList").innerHTML = this.xmlProductOrderDoc.transformNode(this.xslOrderDoc);                 

}

          catch(e)

          {

                   alert("Error in transformXmlDoc() : " + e.message);

          }                                                       

}

 

Checking callback on Pageload :

if (!Page.IsPostBack && !IsCallback )

{

          GetAllCategories();

}

else if (IsCallback)

{

int productId = Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString["ProductId"]);

          GetProductOrdersDetail(productId);

}

 

Return result back to the client in xml form :

Response.Clear();

Response.ContentType = "text/xml";

if (l_objXmlDoc.SelectNodes("//Orders").Count > 0 )

{

          Response.Write(l_objXmlDoc.OuterXml);

}

else

{

          Response.Write("<Root></Root>");

}

Response.End();
