XML / XSL

The problem was with the root node element which i changed. I kept the root name as ArrayOfEnvironmentConfigurations and the problem was solved. Thanks for replying.

Thanks dude.....:) I got it :) Thank u very much

Thanks..Really helpful ;)

You have to tell MSXML what namespace prefixes your XPath expressions use. When parsing XML, the parser remmebers the namespace URIs, NOT the prefixes used in the documents. That means that your code has to define the prefix to URI mappings used in your XPaths.

Do you have a question? :confused: I know the language. I've read a book. - _Madmatt

Maybe this is what you want ? string Str = "228006611Idle"; System.IO.StringReader sr = new System.IO.StringReader(Str); XmlDataDocument Doc = new XmlDataDocument(); Doc.DataSet.ReadXml(sr); DataSet datasetResult = Doc.DataSet; if (datasetResult.Tables.Count == 0) return;

I'm glad I could help.

Ummm - well, what are you trying to do with it? XPath is useful for querying an XML document, but does nothing for the performance of the raw parser. Think about how you're going to get information in and out of the XML file, then make your technology decisions based on those specific requirements.

XML is not a prgramming language - it's more a data format. So…why are you using XML and what are you trying to achieve? Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p CodeProject MVP for 2010 - who'd'a thunk it!

Did you bother to preview this before you posted it, or read it afterwards? I assume not as it is unreadable. Please edit the content and place between <pre></pre> tags using the "code block" button at the top of the edit window. MVP 2010 - are they mad?

Hi, I'm not sure if I understood your problem. You want to implement a webservice with C#. For the first steps have a look here: Your first C# Web Service[^] Or if you want to use WCF take a look here: Writing your first WCF Service[^] SOAP is just the protocol used to call a webservice. Fortunately this protocol is transparent for you, since the .NET framework manages everything for you (serialization, deserialization, transport etc.) Regards Sebastian It's not a bug, it's a feature!

thanks alot sir... J A Nasir K

Rather than use a database (which might well not be a good match for hierarchical XML data), you could consider using XQuery[^]? Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p CodeProject MVP for 2010 - who'd'a thunk it!

Hi Again I managed to get it working...both the conversion to XML and back to it's original file. Thanks for the help...much appreciated!

Thanks for that, my limited knowledge of XML is the problem here. I have found a way to render the XML as I had intended though. This might be useful to someone else at some point... Declare an XmlSerializerNamespaces object within the class to be serialized. <XmlNamespaceDeclarations()> _ Public xmlns As XmlSerializerNamespaces Then add the namespaces to this collection instead of attaching it to the serializer directly. This has the desired effect of declaring the namespace where it is used. xmlns = New XmlSerializerNamespaces() xmlns.Add("oai_dc", "http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/oai\_dc/") xmlns.Add("dc", "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/") xmlns.Add("xsi", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance") Andrew
