XML / XSL

Try starting with this[^] led mike

Hi, If you are using the latest version of the .Net framework then this task can be performed easily using LINQ. Below is an example of what you are trying to do in C#: XDocument servers = XDocument.Load(@"C:\server.xml"); var q = from c in servers.Descendants("server")   orderby (string)c.Element("con_id") ascending   group c by (string)c.Element("con_id"); foreach (var con_id in q)   Console.WriteLine(con_id); Sorry, I don't have a version of this in VB.Net! Clean code is the key to happiness.

If you are considering using XML in your software I strongly urge you to spend some time learning the XML technology space before making decisions about how your going to use XML in your software. This might prove a sizable learning curve since the XML space is quite large now. You could start here[^] but I don't suggest you consider that sufficient. led mike

Developing, programming, no problem with performance.

The browser must supply support for working with XML. In Internet Explorer you can use MSXML and the XML DOM. The internet is full of javascript examples for that subject. I don't know how the other browsers support it. Sites like TopXML, W3Schools, Mozilla and others probably have all sorts of information on the subject. led mike

I'm not sure I understand. You want to transform any element into an element of the same name with an attribute of the same name with the attribute value being the value of the child text node of the original element? I can't begin to understand what problem that solves but you need your match value to be "*" to have it transform "any" element.
