This question is of too broad a nature to be answered properly within a programming forum. Also, it isn't relevant to the ASP.NET forum. I'm not sure what you mean by 'disadvantages'? XSLT was designed for a specific purpose - performing transformations on XML documents. This could be from one XML schema to another, or to a different document format e.g. HTML or a flat file. It is usually preferable to use XSLT for this purpose rather than a general-purpose language.

Without an understanding of what you are trying to do, it's difficult to offer advice. What have you read? How do you want to make use of AJAX and XSLT?

Thanks much for the responses..Let me put more detail to get an exact advice..
For example if we have simple form to submit in our scenarion and see the two possibilities
1) A .net application made and complied and which can read the xsl and transform and shows up the data in an ascx page. So for the above scenario we can use that and develop a xsl to design the form then submit it using a form post and passing the data to the procedure specified in the xml to inserting/updating
2) This way is straight forward as we can design a form using asp.net and compile the code and add the logic to submit.but in this case again need to compile the code is required and if any more changes again compile the code. But in the first way only need to change the xsl file and no compile required.
By considering these two ways which way you will suggest and why...Please count the perfomance measures also while decide a way..That can be a right advice for me for the scenario.
Thank you,
Rahul..

What do you think? I'm not going to tell you what to do. As a developer, you should be able to evaluate different solutions to a problem and make a judgement about which is most appropriate given the circumstances.
Here are some points you might want to consider. What is the relative complexity of the two approaches? Which of them do you, or your colleagues have the technical skills to implement? What time/resources do you have at your disposal, and what do you think you can realistically achieve within their constraints? What are your customer requirements, and how complicated an approach do they warrant?
I don't know anything about your company so I can't answer these questions for you. All I can suggest is that you consider these points when you make your decision.

I know all these measures and I think finally our discussion went out of scope..I was just searching for the disadvantages of xslt programming as I saw in many articles that it will slow down the perfomance..I was not really looking for the feasibility of the application and the scenario provided is to just make it in detail..
I don't think that my query really needed any company name or SRS to get it answered..Just looking for some responses from those who really knows the disadvantages of xslt. Thats it..
Thank You,
Rahul..
An answer comes from knowledge really differs from the answer which is just build for it

I don't think the discussion did go OT. You can't discuss the pros/cons of a particular technology without framing the discussion in in some sort of context. The XSLT language was designed to perform transformations on XML documents. It can therefore be considered a preferred tool for such work. Is it the right tool in your ciscumstances. Only you can answer this. You state that you have read documents claiming that using XSLT degrades performance. Have you validated these claims for yourself? Be prepared to challenge assumptions; run your own tests. Performance shouldn't be your only consideration. You may find that an XSLT solution is marginally slower compared to another approach, but the benefits in terms of maintainability far outweigh the costs. Ultimately, you must decide what the best approach based on your own particular circumstances.

I'm not interested in the name of your company. My point was that you should choose the technologies that work best for you. Conduct you own evaluation of each approach, considering contextual factors such as time, cost, complexity, maintainability. Then make a decision that you are comfortable with.

What I want to do is create a templated control to display two dropdowns in different ways. The dropdowns will be doing the same thing, but must look different on different pages.
I'm going for something like this:
<br />
<mycontrols:cascadingdropdowns><br />
<controltemplate><br />
<div>***<dropdown1 />***</div><br />
<div>***<dropdown2 />***</div><br />
</controltemplate><br />
</mycontrols:cascadingdropdowns><br />
where Dropdown1 and Dropdown2 are some properties of type DropDownList. Can anyone tell me if this is possible?
I have gotten up to the point of creating the ControlTemplate property with type ITemplate, andthat works, but I am not sure how to go about making it so I can have the dropdown1 and 2 properties

Hi,
I am using a javascript onclick function to get values of an input button. Then I am using webservices to input the value in table. This is working fine with IE7,IE6. But not working for Firefox. Part of the code is given below:
function SegmentUpdate(okButton)
{
// Get a refence to the containing cell, it's up a few levels in the DOM
var containingCell = okButton.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode;
cancelButtonName = okButton.name.replace('OkButton', 'CancelButton');
cancelButton = document.getElementById(cancelButtonName);
// Get the necessary Id's (They are written on the table data element for this cell).
var segmentId = containingCell.sourceSegmentId; // Here the problem is. containingCell not accepting value in the variable segmentId.
var userId = containingCell.userId;
var languageCode = containingCell.languageCode;
var milestoneName = containingCell.milestoneName;
var contextualLevel = containingCell.contextualLevel;
var isArchived = containingCell.isArchived;
// Get a reference to the relative form elements (Their names are written on the table data element for this cell).
var txtTQMReasonClientId = document.getElementById(containingCell.txtTQMReasonClientId);
var ddlTQMReasonClientId = document.getElementById(containingCell.ddlTQMReasonClientId);
divTargetTextClientId = document.getElementById(containingCell.divTargetTextClientId);
txtOverrideTranslatedTextClientId = document.getElementById(containingCell.txtOverrideTranslatedTextClientId);
txtOverrideTranslatedTextClientId = document.getElementById(containingCell.txtOverrideTranslatedTextClientId);
divPanel2ClientId = document.getElementById(containingCell.divPanel2ClientId);
panel1Id = containingCell.divPanel2ClientId;
// Get the values from the form elements to make the update
var reason = "";
if (txtTQMReasonClientId != null)
{
reason = txtTQMReasonClientId.value;
}
var reasonId = -1;
if (ddlTQMReasonClientId != null)
{
reasonId = ddlTQMReasonClientId.value;
}
var overrideText = "";
if (txtOverrideTranslatedTextClientId != null)
{
overrideText = txtOverrideTranslatedTextClientId.value.trim();
}
ABCD.WebServices.Approval.OverRideTargetSegmentText(segmentId, userId, overrideText, reasonId, reason,
languageCode, milestoneName, contextualLevel, isArchived.toLowerCase(), OnUpdateTargetSegmentComplete);
}

Do you know at what point your script is falling over (does it error or does it simply not update the DB)? Are your variables being populated before the web service call is made?
Clean code is the key to happiness.

|
|
|
|
This is error and hence not updating DB.
No the variables are not populating. The error is with containingCell. This is not extracting related values.
|
|
|
|
|
okButton.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode;
That's a hell of a lot of parentNode references. Far to many.
At what point does the script fail? What is the error message?

Yes you are right-a lot of parentNode references. But I have 11 variables to populate, this is why 11 times this is written. I have taken only 1 parentNode, but this has given me undefined for the variables. [I have used alert(variables).]
The script is ok for IE. But using Mozilla Firefox. This gives above error on the same point "undefined". Hence, not populating variables and the DB. Either "parentNode" not accepting or I miss the syntax. Please help me to solve this problem.

Well of course there is only one parentNode for each object. However, it looks like you 11 levels deep. At that point you should just go directly to the element you are trying to get to, document.getElementById();

How about debugging in a more professional manner, like using a debugger. Alert is not a diagnostic tool.

var segmentId = document.getElementById(containingCell.sourceSegmentId);
Using above, I gets null for the variable segmentId both in in IE7 and Mozilla Firefox. The version for FF is:(Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11). Please help me.

We have an in-house, client side grid thingy, a fancied up HTML table built by a DataRepeater, and do our own ajax using the onblur events of the input controls in that table.
Now I'd like to replace that grid with a DataList, to get a detail view for editing more details provided in the grid view, but I would still like to retain my existing in-grid editing as is, without postbacks, or having to enter or exit edit mode. Is there any way to combine these two? Can I gloo on an onblur event to the controls rendered by the DataList and retain my current ajax channel?

Am extremely sorry for posting my same query again. Thing is, i dint hav any solution. so i've made myself clear by posting the entire code. Plz try to answer my query if time n patience permits. Both the code inside code1 and code2 are not working. seperately i've checked it out.
]]>;
<asp:content id="Content1" contentplaceholderid="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="Server">;
;
function length()
{
if(document.all('txtMessage').value.length>10)
{
alert('Too many characters')
}
}
<%script type="text/javascript">;
function length()
{
var a = document.getElementById("TextBox1").value.length;
if (a >10)
{
alert("Too many characters");
}
}
<asp:textbox id="TextBox1" runat="server" style="z-index: 100; left: 324px; position: absolute;<br mode=" hold=" /"> top: 128px" TextMode="MultiLine">
;
<asp:button id="Button1" runat="server" style="z-index: 102; left: 381px; position: absolute;<br mode=" hold=" /"> top: 210px" OnClientClick="length()"; Text="Button" >;
;

Hi,
Firstly, I would suggest you rename your function as length is a DOM keyword. The below should work fine:
<script type="text/javascript"><br />
<!--<br />
function checkLength()<br />
{<br />
var a = document.getElementById("TextBox1").value.length;<br />
<br />
if (a > 10)<br />
alert("Too many characters");<br />
}<br />
</script><br />

If you are using the Master Page then the id you are providing in the javascript function is wrong check the source code for the id
or you should provide be like this
document.getElementById(<%#TextBox1.ClientId%>).value.length;
as the id will be different

1st of all i have a project size approximatly less then 50.0 MB.
Build in VS2003 in ASP.Net / C#.
I m bored with the 1.1 environment and speed to work with it.
So I would like to convert the whole application to Framework 2.0, so i can work out it in VS2005
So which and what things sholud i keep in mind while converting.
What are the steps and how to make a complete Conversion?
Is it safe to do so? Or is it possible(Succesfully?  )
Please show me the way...
Believe Yourself™ :->™

Ya you can convert it into 2.0 but there are many changes that you need to make which also depends on your requirement
Like Partial class,Master page,
There are many things if you really wany to take benefit of 2.0 you will have to work out for these things first then start converting page by page
Thanks and Regards

I have an experience in project that change 1.1 to 2.0
Yes, you need to know what the impact from new feature in framework 2.0
But you also need to know which classes that is gone in framework 2.0 because some dudes at microsoft change its name. if you have classes that have the same name with these classes, well, you will have the filling want to shot everyone like i did during in the process of changing their names, but if you layering your project (UI layer, business layer, data layer), this will not (too) concern you as well as i did while i was in the project.
you also have to replace some control that no longer recommended in vs 2005, like datagrid (gridview in 2005), or some object, like arraylist (collection in 2005).
as i'm always joke with my friend in project, it's not hard to convert from 1.1 to 2.0, the bug fixing that makes it so *** damned hard...
but i encourage you to try, you will get a good experience and small bump in your head cause you'll be banging your head to monitor...
i hope you'll try to convert it...
happy bugs fixing friend

Hi
I need to know who is viewing an ASP.Net page without the user knowing it. I can get the client IP address and host name(sometimes) but would like to get the username of the person logged in or any other info that identifies the person.
I know that this is possible if I am using Windows authentication or forms based authentication but I am using no authentication with anonymous access.
Any ideas on how to get this info without asking the person to log in?
Thanks

Hi fellas.
I am a newbie with ASP.NET, I need to write a site with C#,
I am thinking of allowing users to customize their site with CSS.
However I want the users to be able to choose the colors via a palette. Is there even such as feature in VS.NET 2003? I really don't want the users to manually type in the hex colors themselves.
Any helpful links and resources?
Many many thanks!!!
