No because having an unescaped & is what makes it invalid XML. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ

There are two Microsoft solutions: MSXML and XmlLite. You can find documentation and samples on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx[^] or just use a search engine such as Google. "We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give." --Winston Churchill

You can use document order. To locate the first "Param1" element, the XPath is: /RootElement/Param1[1] and the second is: /RootElement/Param1[2]. George "We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give." --Winston Churchill

Hi, Dim dom As New Xml.XmlDocument dom.LoadXml("") Dim root As Xml.XmlElement = dom.DocumentElement Dim Elem As Xml.XmlNode = dom.CreateNode(Xml.XmlNodeType.Element, "item", "") Elem.InnerText = "XYZ" root.AppendChild(Elem) MsgBox(dom.DocumentElement.OuterXml) dom.Save("dom.xml") for more details go to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmldocument.aspx[^] hope this helps :) NajiCo http://www.InsideVB.NET[^] It's nice 2b important, but it's more important 2b nice...

Well strangely I am reply to my posted query .. In the given example, it is expected that template in the XSLT, , should remove all occurrence of "outstation" elements from the XML document. This XSLT will work fine for any XML document which doesn't has a "DEFAULT NAMESPACE" declared in root element. In given example, I have declared a default namespace in root element as 'xmlns="http://www.contacts.com/transform"'. Because of the default namespace, the expanded name of element is pair of URI name and Element name (URI name here is "http://www.contacts.com/transform"). So the template defined in XSLT for "outstation" element will fail to match any element in XML file. As the namespaces link the XML & XSLT through a URI. So the solution to this problem is to add a namespace prefix with the namespace name "http://www.contacts.com/transform" in the xslt file and then use the prefix in the XPath statements as shown below: Solution is in XSLT: ... ... ...

I don't understand exactly what you are talking about? Nevertheless, HTML and XML are related markup languages and are usually text files. XHTML is a strict form of HTML since it obeys an XML type-schema. Once you have your document in XHTML, you can transform it to another XML document using XSLT.

Unfortunately, CSS1 and <table> don't work well together. Also, it is very difficult to print from HTML exactly the way you want it. I usually generate a PDF (using Crystal Reports) for my clients to print. "We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give." --Winston Churchill
