XML / XSL

:-Oyou are right again - the XML was not valid thanks and regards:-O

I have always thought Roger Costello's XFront[^]site to be good, although focusing on schemas and XSLT. I have also book marked: http://www.rpbourret.com/index.htm[^] http://www.xmlmodeling.com/[^] ""

i guess thats why they are spelt different ;P "When the only tool you have is a hammer, a sore thumb you will have."

IE5.5 and IE6 have different XSLT engines.

wrong section. "When the only tool you have is a hammer, a sore thumb you will have."

XML Data Binding tools provide this, but you need to describe your xml in a schema (xsd/xdr/dtd). http://www.rpbourret.com/xml/XMLDataBinding.htm lists available tools. I use the wizard from Liquid Technologies: http://www.liquid-technologies.com/Products/LXDBWizard.htm

Thanks :)

this wont work because you are reading the source for the apsx, i.e. you are getting back the <% aspx stuff %> you need to load the xml from using a uri, not from the file system "When the only tool you have is a hammer, a sore thumb you will have."

this is a classic problem - you will run into it all the time. the important point is that £ is resolved by the parser, i.e. by the time you get a look in it has been converted to its character. generally these issues are caused by the encoding attribute that is specified at the top of your xml   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> People have a nasty habit of sticking any old encoding in here, without considering what encoding they are using - for example different versions of windows (95, 98, NT) have used different encoding schemes. Also be careful if you use XSLT - you have to tell it how to output it   <xsl:output encoding="iso-8859-1"/>. Otherwise you will end up in a world of pain ;) my general advice is to always replace any characters with values below 32 and above 128 with a tag - this allows you to handle the problem. consider using a <character code="163"/> tag, this way you can do what you like. hope this helps.

The separate stylesheet does exist, but I don't see why I have to go to the trouble of loading it if it's already referenced in the XML. IE can pick it up directly from the link in the XML, so why not .NET? However, from my research and some replies I've received, I don't think the XML classes in .NET can pick up an 'embedded' stylesheet like this, so I'll have to just load it separately anyway. Just trying the lazy approach! :zzz: John. www.silveronion.com[^]

Just go back and edit your message. Make sure to check the display message as-is (no HTML). Here is text "Sig"

Try something like: XmlNode node = doc.SelectSingleNode("/Airports/Airport[ICAO='KABE']/Long"); double lon = double.Parse(node.InnerText); "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer
