I know about all and choice, but they don't account for a case where I do want some elements to be able to occur more than once, such as: <Root> <ThingA/> <ThingB/> <ThingC/> <ThingC/> <ThingC/> </Root> I could use sequence, but I'd prefer to allow these children to be in any order. I could use any, but then I coul...
We are attempting to use a SQL Server 2003 database for our test records and want a quick way to take NUnit and NAnt output and produce SQL schema and data. Is there a simple way to generate SQL Schema using the XSD file describing these XML documents? ...
Is it possible to use XPath to select only the nodes that have a particular child elements? For example, from this XML I only want the elements in pets that have a child of 'bar'. So the resulting dataset would contain the lizard and pig elements. <pets> <cat> <foo>don't care about this</foo> </cat> <dog> <foo>not this one either...
I have an application with a REST style inerface that takes XML documents via POST from clients. This application is written in Java and uses XML beans to process the posted message. Now, the XML schema definition for a field in the message looks like this: <xs:element name="value" type="xs:string" nillable="true" / > How do I send a...

Greetings. I'm looking for a way to parse a number of XML files in a particular directory with ASP.NET (C#). I'd like to be able to return content from particular elements, but before that, need to find those that have a certain value between an element. Example XML file 1: <file> <title>Title 1</title> <someContent>Content</s...
On a company that I've worked, me and my colleagues, implemented a tailored document distribution system on top of XSL-FO. My task was to get the script to deliver the documents and configure the CUPS print server and the Fax server, so I never had the time to get my hands dirty on XSL-FO. I'm thinking of implementing something in the ...

I currently have a Java SAX parser that is extracting some info from a 30GB xml file. Presently it is reading each xml node storing it into a string object, running some regexex on the string storing the results to the database For several million elements. I'm running this on a computer with 16GB of memory, but the memory is not be...
I want to select the topmost element in a document that has a given namespace (prefix). More specifically: I have XML documents that either start with /html/body (in the XHTML namespace) or with one of several elements in a particular namespace. I effectively want to strip out /html/body and just return the body contents OR the entire r...

Hello. I need to parse a xml file which is practically an image of a really big tree structure, so I'm using the XmlReader class to populate the tree 'on the fly'. Each node is passed just the xml chunk it expects from its parent via the ReadSubtree() function. This has the advantage of not having to worry about when a node has consumed...
I'm really new to .NET and I still didn't get the hang about how config files work. Every time I search on google about it I get results about web.config, but I'm writing a windows forms application. I figured out that I need to use the System.Configuration namespace but I'm kinda dumb and the documentation isn't helping. How do I def...

In this article Jeroen explains an example of using an XML file to remap Java Bean getters and setters to .NET Properties. What would the XML file look like if I wanted to, say, remap a Java method called "showDialog()" to "ShowDialog()" in .NET? Has anyone worked with the remapping option before? Any idea where to get information on ho...
Yes XML is human readable but so is comma delimited text and properties files. XML is bloated, hard to parse, hard to modify in code, plus a ton of other problems that I can think about with it. My questions is what are XML's most attractive qualities that has made it so popular???? ...
I need to take any given valid XML schema (XSD) and denormalize it to a simple form containing no refs, no includes, etc. All simple type definitions should be inline, such that when looking at any given element, all declarations are visible without performing another lookup. I've found some tools that have this built-in, but I need to...
I have some WCF methods that are used to transmit information from a server application to a website frontend for use in binding. I'm sending the result as an XElement that is a root of an XML tree containing the data I want to bind against. I'd like to create some tests that examine the data and ensure it comes across as expected. ...
How can UTF-8 strings (i.e. 8-bit string) be converted to/from XML-compatible 7-bit strings (i.e. printable ASCII with numeric entities)? i.e. an encode() function such that: encode("“£”") -> "“£”" decode() would also be useful: decode("“£”") -> "“£”" PHP's htmlenties()/html_entity_decode() pair d...
Summary for the impatient: What I want to know is what you want to have in a new gui language. About the short answers mentioning $your_favorite_one; I assume you mean that, such a language should look like $your_favorite_one. These are not helpful. Resist the temptation. I'm thinking on the user friendliness of XML based languages suc...
