    XForms & XSLT

    in XSLT/XSL-FO

    Posted

    Wow, no replies. Well, I'll try again in a more straightforward manner:1) Can I use XForms with an ASP.NET transformation of XML/XSLT docs (see code in previous post)?2) If so, where would some good resources be of this setup?3) If not, what would be an alternative solution?Thanks for any help.

    XForms & XSLT

    in XSLT/XSL-FO

    Posted

    I'm trying to learn about the use of XForms with XSLT, and I'm having some difficulties figuring it out. My site transforms an XML and XSLT doc into a resulting HTML doc using the following ASP.NET code:

    <%@ Page Language="VB" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="iso-8859-1" AspCompat="true" Debug="true" %><%@ import Namespace="System.Web" %><%@ import Namespace="System.Web.UI" %><%@ import Namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls" %><%@ import Namespace="System.Web.UI.HtmlControls" %><%@ import Namespace="System.Xml" %><%@ import Namespace="System.Xml.Xsl" %><%@ import Namespace="System.Xml.XPath" %><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><script language="vb" runat="server">	Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)		xslTransform.DocumentSource = "xmldoc.xml"		xslTransform.TransformSource = "xsldoc.xsl"	End Sub</script><html><body><form id="form1" runat="server">		<div id="wrapper">			<asp:Xml id="xslTransform" runat="server"></asp:Xml>		</div><!--end wrapper--></form></body></html>

    I want to create forms for the site, and I'd like to look into using XForms for this purpose. Is it the best solution for my setup? Also, if someone could point me in the right direction to some simple XForm examples, that would be great. Thanks.P.S. My site uses a XSLT 1.0 Processor.

    Hi jesh,I tried your suggestion, like this:FROM:<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/NavMaster.master" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="default.aspx.vb" Inherits="_default" title="Home" %>TO:<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/NavMaster.master" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="default.aspx.vb" Inherits="_default" title="Home" EnableViewState="false" %>...and it did change the page's size from 30890 bytes to 28690 bytes. But when I went to view the source code of the page, I still saw the View State, like this:

    ...<body>	<form name="aspnetForm" method="post" action="default.aspx" id="aspnetForm"><div><input type="hidden" name="__EVENTTARGET" id="__EVENTTARGET" value="" /><input type="hidden" name="__EVENTARGUMENT" id="__EVENTARGUMENT" value="" /><input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/wEPDwUJMTgxMjAzNjcwZBgBBQtjdGwwMCRNZW51MQ8PZAUESG9tZWSjlkpjfcleQxf6aiJ4WDd9HnXDvA==" /></div>...

    Am I missing something?

    PDF Anchor Problem

    in HTML/XHTML

    Posted

    I used to have a set of PDF docs set up so that I could use the following example URL: http://www.mysite.com/dpcs/pdf/home.pdf#page=3 to pull up page 3 within a PDF document. For some reason, that feature has stopped working within all of my PDF documents. Is this "PDF anchor" option still available, or is there another way to accomplish this? I really like this feature, as it makes it easier for the user to browse through one central PDF doc without me having to literally break it up into smaller PDF's. So any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Can I be honest with you? I REALLY don't like the method you're using... First stop, it seems that you're already using more ASP then you need to. All this ASP code adds a lot of crap in the output.Second, what exactly is the transformation? Bad performance could be due to an XSLT file filled with just as much crap.Third, you're not using that much XSLT. Most of the stuff was done in ASP, which kind of kills one of the major points of XSLT - to be portable.As for forms... XForms are the better way, but they are not supported in any browser today without plug-ins, and requiring users to download plug-ins is just not very profitable. Perhaps the JavaScript implementation FormFaces is the way today if you want XForms.If you find ASP's form controls more efficient... go ahead. Until XForms are supported natively by all of the major browsers, there really is not a "best practice" for forms. Not for form sets anyway.
    Thanks for your honesty. I do appreciate it. I like the centrality of the Master Page control, but I find that it's built-in functions, although handy, are not easily flexible.I had created another solution that used XML/XSLT mostly with just a transformation on the ASP.NET page. But the problem I've run into with that solution is how to process input forms. I'm using XSLT on-the-server as opposed to on-the-client, so I thought that this solution would avoid the browser support issues. I like the way XForms works, and if I could use it with my XSLT on-the-server approach, that would be great. If you could let me know how I would go about processing that data once it's been entered and validated, that would be great also.If there is no way for me to use XForms, even with the XSLT on-the-server, then I'd also appreciate some other options being put forth by you or others. Thanks for any help.

    ASP.NET and XML/XSLT

    I'm creating a site that's going to use the ASP.NET Master Page Control to transform XML/XSLT data into the content section of an ASP.NET form. I've already created the basic setup for the site (code below), and some of the content, but I have a few questions/concerns about this method:What I don't like about the Master Page Control so far is the size of the pages. I haven't even put any content on the main section of the page, and it's already 31043 bytes in size. What are some steps that I can take to optimize this site (i.e. caching)? Also, how should I go about creating and processing a form within a transformed page using the Master Page control? Should I use XForms (like http://www.w3schools.com/xforms/default.asp) or dynamic ASP.NET server controls within XML (like http://www.dnzone.com/ShowDetail.asp?NewsId=151)?MASTER PAGE - NavMaster.master

    Master Page Control/Web.Sitemap Questions

    I'm using the ASP.NET Master Page control for my site with the use of this tutorial: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....masterpages.asp, and I'm running into a few small issues with the use of the Web.sitemap doc. The code below results in about a 10px gap between each button image on the top nav. It also results in a blank button above the "Home" button, and all of the items from Web.sitemap are listed in the left nav. Here's some examples:This is how the top nav appears:Home About Us Contact Us...and this is how I want the top nav to appear:Home About Us Contact UsThis is how the left nav appears:Home About Us Products Services Contact Us...and this is how I want the left nav to appear:About Us (header for buttons - not a button)Products (button)Services (button)So my questions are:1) How can I remove the indention between the top horizontal nav buttons?2) How can I remove the empty button at the top of the left nav?3) How can I filter Web.sitemap so that only the "About Us" items appear in the left column?------------------------------------------------------------------------------NavMaster.master:<%@ Master Language="VB" CodeFile="NavMaster.master.vb" Inherits="NavMaster" Debug="True" %><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head runat="server"> <title>Nav MasterPage</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="~/docs/css/screen.css" /></head><body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div id="wrapper"> <!-- Tab navigation --> <div id="tabs"> <asp:Menu id="Menu2" runat="server" StaticDisplayLevels="1" StaticSubMenuIndent="1" StaticMenuStyle-VerticalPadding="0" Orientation="Horizontal" StaticEnableDefaultPopOutImage="False"> <Items> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="default.aspx" ImageUrl="~/images/gif/tab1_active.gif" /> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="aboutus.aspx" ImageUrl="~/images/gif/tab2_active.gif"> <asp:MenuItem Text="Products" Value="Products"></asp:MenuItem> <asp:MenuItem Text="Services" Value="Services"></asp:MenuItem> </asp:MenuItem> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="contactus.aspx" ImageUrl="~/images/gif/tab3_active.gif"> </Items> </asp:Menu> </div><!-- end tabs --> <div id="screenleft"> <asp:contentplaceholder id="LeftColumn" runat="server" /> </div><!-- end screenleft --> <div id="content"> <!-- dynamic page title --> <h1><asp:label id="lblPageTitle" runat="server" /></h1> <br /> <!-- page content --> <asp:contentplaceholder id="ContentColumn" runat="server" /> </div><!-- end content --> <div id="screenfooter"> This is the footer section </div><!-- end screenfooter --> </div><!-- end wrapper --> <asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDataSource1" runat="server" /> </form></body></html>------------------------------------------------------------------------------NavMaster.aspx.vb:Partial Class NavMaster Inherits System.Web.UI.MasterPage Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) lblPageTitle.Text = SiteMap.CurrentNode.Description End SubEnd Class------------------------------------------------------------------------------Web.sitemap:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0"> <siteMapNode url="~/default.aspx" title="Home" description="Home"> <siteMapNode id="aboutus" url="aboutus.aspx" title="About Us" description="About Us"> <siteMapNode url="products.aspx" title="Products" description="Products" /> <siteMapNode url="services.aspx" title="Services" description="Services" /> </siteMapNode> <siteMapNode id="contactus" url="contactus.aspx" title="Contact Us" description="Contact Us" /> </siteMapNode></siteMap>------------------------------------------------------------------------------aboutus.aspx:<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/NavMaster.master" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="aboutus.aspx.vb" Inherits="aboutus_aboutus" title="About Us" %><asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="LeftColumn" Runat="Server"> <div id="screenleftnav"> <asp:Menu id="Menu1" Runat="Server" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1" StaticDisplayLevels="2" DisappearAfter="5" StaticEnableDefaultPopOutImage="False" /> </div></asp:Content><asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentColumn" Runat="Server"> This is the main content section</asp:Content>

    <%Response.Buffer = trueSet objSendMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message") With objSendMail  .To = "you@mysite.com"  .From = "me@mysite.com"  .Subject = "Hello World!"  .HTMLBody = "<font face='arial' size='2'>Hello everyone.</font>"  .Importance = 2 'cdoHigh   .Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2  .Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "MAILSERVERNAME"  .Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25  .Configuration.Fields.Update  .Send End WithSet objSendMail = Nothing%>

    But now I'm receiving this error message concerning the "Importance":Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01b6'Object doesn't support this property or method: 'Importance'/HelpDesk/bgscripts/testemail.asp, line 14Besides ".Importance = 2", I've tried the following other options I've seen from several sites without success:.Fields.Item(cdoImportance) = 2.Configuration.Fields.Item("urn:schemas:mailheader:X-Priority") = 1 .Fields.Item("urn:schemas:httpmail:importance").Value = cdoHigh.Fields("urn:schemas:httpmail:importance").Value = 2.Fields.Item("urn:schemas:httpmail:importance").Value = 2 'cdoHigh.Fields.Item("urn:schemas:mailheader:X-MSMail-Priority") = "High".Configuration.Fields.Item("urn:schemas:mailheader:X-Priority") = 3.Configuration.Fields.Item("urn:schemas:httpmail:importance") = 3.Configuration.Fields.Item("urn:schemas:mailheader:X-MSMail-Priority") = 3If anyone can let me know how I can properly set the importance of the email to high, that would be great. Thanks.

    Here is the code for a VB.NET (2.0) app transforming XML using XSLT and a XmlWebControl. It's actually simpler than before. This is not the same XML that was used in this thread, but the syntax is the same
    		Dim xa As New XsltArgumentList		xa.AddParam("color", "", "red")		Me.Xml1.TransformArgumentList = xa		Me.Xml1.DocumentSource = (MapPath("items1.xml"))		Me.Xml1.TransformSource = (MapPath("items1.xsl"))

    Wow, thanks for the info. I'll give it a try, and I'll let you know how it works for me:)

    SQL Server 2005, SP 2 Install Problems

    in SQL

    Posted

    I was able to install a DVD installation of SQL Server 2005, SP 2 on my current PC without a problem. But when I tried to do the same install on my new computer, which has the exact same OS, I ran into the following errors:Error #1IIS Feature RequirementMS IIS is either not installed or is disabled. IIS is required by some SQL Server features...Error #2Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SetupAn installation for this product Microsoft SQL Server Native Client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package.Error #3Workstation Components, Books Online, and Development ToolsFailed to installSo because of these failures, SQL Server 2005 was unable to be installed.Both PC's have an OS of Microsoft Windows XP Pro, Version 2002, SP2. So I have no idea what could be causing this problem. If anyone could help to point me in the right direction, that would be great. Thanks.

    IE7 and JavaScript

    Comment out the last two lines and see if it still crashes. If it does not, uncomment the line that opens the actual window, keep the last line commented out, and see if it crashes then. If not, then it doesn't like the last line for whatever reason.
    When I commented out the last two lines or the first of the last two lines, it didn't open up anything.Concerning this function possibly opening up two windows, this is the only setup I've found that can open a URL, and then resize that window within one link. If there's another easier way to do it, I'd be very happy to hear about it and use it.I appreciate your help. Thanks.

    I have an old page that displays a popup window using JavaScript within an ASP page, like this:Response.Write("<a href='" + strCurrentQSURL + "&print=true' onclick=""NewWindow(this.href,'name','800','600','yes');return false;"" target='_blank'>Printer-friendly Version</a>")...but when I tested this link in IE7, it crashed the app all together. When I removed the reference to onclick=""NewWindow(this.href,'name','800','600','yes');return false;"", it worked fine. I want to keep the window-resize feature, so is there a way to make this javascript open window code work in IE7? Thanks for any help.

    FSO in ASP.NET 2.0

    I used FSO in ASP without any problems, and I'm wondering if you can use FSO in the same way in ASP.NET (2.0). This is the method that I've been using in ASP:

    Dim strPhotoPath = Trim(rsPhoto("DC_FileName").Value.ToString)Dim objFSO As Object = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")Dim strPhotoFilePath As String = "\\SERVER1\Photo\" & strPhotoPathDim strPhotoDestination As String = "e:\wwwroot\SERVER2\temp\"If objFSO.FileExists(strPhotoFilePath) Then	 'Copy file to its destination	 Dim objFileCopy As Object = objFSO.GetFile(strPhotoFilePath)	 objFileCopy.Copy(strPhotoDestination)	 objFileCopy = nothingEnd If

    Thanks for any help.

    ASP.NET 1.1 to 2.0 FormatCurrency Problem

    in .NET

    Posted

    I've solved the problem by adding the following if statement around the problem code:If strTax <> 0 Then If Len(strTax) > 2 Then strTax = Left(strTax, Len(strTax) - 2) & "." & Right(strTax, 2) End If If Len(strTax) > 6 Then strTax = Left(strTax, Len(strTax) - 6) & "," & Right(strTax, 6) End IfEnd IfstrTax = FormatCurrency(strTax)The original code couldn't handle a zero value, so this solved the problem. Thanks anyway.

    After looking up XslTransform's documentation, I also realized that it was now obsolete in 2.0. Our current test server will start running 2.0 exclusively soon, so I'll have to change my site's master page to reflect this change.I really appreciate your help, as I know that you are busy. And when you have time, it would be very helpful if you could show me an example in 2.0 as you stated. So thanks for the offer, and all of your help.

    Thanks for the reply aalbetski.When I converted your code to VB.NET and tried your suggestion, I received this error message: BC30002: Type 'XslTransform' is not defined. This is the converted code that I'm using:

    Dim xsl As XslTransform = New XslTransformxsl.Load(MapPath("form.xsl"))Dim xsltArgs As XsltArgumentList = New XsltArgumentListxsltArgs.AddParam("fname_value", "", "Hello")Me.xmlReport.Document = GetXMLDataSourceMe.xmlReport.TransformArgumentList = xsltArgsMe.xmlReport.Transform = xsl

    From what you can see, is there something that I'm not doing properly?

    Pull and Assign XSLT Parameter from ASPX Doc

    I've been able to pull and assign a XSLT parameter in ASP, but I'm now converting my site over to ASP.NET. I'm using XML, XSLT, ASP.NET, and VB.NET for this new site using the xslTransform method, and I want to pull an XSLT parameter into the ASP.NET page, and then assign a new value to that XSLT paramater using a form that's created from the XSLT stylesheet. This is what I have so far:XSLT parameter

    <xsl:param name="fname_value" select="''" />

    ASP.NET code

    I haven't found much on how to do this in ASP.NET, but I did find a great article from a book titled "XSLT and ASP.NET" at http://www.topxml.com/dotnet/articles/xslt...ransforming_XML under the ".NET Classes Involved in Transforming XML" section. The book/article is written in C#, and I use VB.NET. But I'm using a C# to VB.NET converter at http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/utilities...csharptovb.aspx to help out.As far as I can see, this article doesn't have any examples involving pulling and assigning a value for an XSLT parameter using the method that I'm using, so I'm not sure where to go with this. So I'm looking for some direction on this subject. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

    RegisterClientScriptInclude Method

    I don;t think you have to manually add a refrence to System.Web...it should be done for you whne you start a new project.Just make sure you have C#
    using System.Web;

    At the top of your code, if using code behind.

    These are all of the namespaces I have referenced at the top of my page:
    <%@ import Namespace="System.Data" %><%@ import Namespace="System" %><%@ import Namespace="System.IO" %><%@ import Namespace="System.Xml" %><%@ import Namespace="System.Text.RegularExpressions" %><%@ import Namespace="System.Web.UI" %>

    ...so I should be covered, correct? But I still receive the same error message when attempting to call that method.

    My first suggestion is, stop using Web Matrix...it is outdated and wasn't that good to begin with.Install .net framework 2.0 and download Visual Web Developer Express, it is free fromt he microsoft site. It is much better than Web Matrix.I don't use web matrix so I do not know how to add the reference either.
    Well, I've installed Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition, and I really like it so far. Thanks for the suggestion.
    did you add the reference in VS (or VWD)
    I see how to add a reference to my site, but I don't know which reference to choose. There are two lists: .NET and COM. I've looked for "Client Script Manager" and "Register Client Script Include", but neither of them are on the lists. Could you help to point me in the right direction?
