No, actually our requirement is to generate XSL file based on the word document (word document is an template with mail merge, later we merge data with this template document retrieved from database). We have different kind of document, for each selected document we have to create XSL file dynamically using C#.

The I have no idea, but perhaps you could post a small example of what sort of structure is in the document and what XSL you want to produce.

Hi,

Thanks for you response.

Below is sample template document, in this Date, Name, Age, Address are merge field. I have to convert this template document to XLS.

<Date>

<Name>, <Age>
<Address>

Dear <Dr./Mr./Ms. Last Name>:

Below is the sample XLS for above template. (We created this manually)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
xmlns:ibex="http://www.xmlpdf.com/2003/ibex/Format">
<xsl:template match="InvitationContemplateInfo">
<fo:block margin-left="0.785in" margin-top="0.7in" margin-right="0.88in" color="gray" font-family="'Times New Roman'" font-size="11.5pt" letter-spacing="0.15pt"><xsl:value-of select="//Date"/>
<xsl:if test="//Name[. != '']"> <xsl:value-of select="//Name"/></xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="//Age[. != '']"> <xsl:value-of select="//Age"/></xsl:if>
</fo:block>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Like this we have to create for all different kind of template documents dynamically.

Thank you once again.

Have you tried the XML/XSL forum, you may have more luck there.

Hi People,

Let me be straight, I want to interact with a webserver from a DotNet Client. The web server is a Postgre Server and the server-side scripting language is PHP. The DotNet client is built in C#. I am actually new to this type of a concept but I was wondering whether it is actually possible or not. Its almost 5days now that I am not able to come up with any solid solution. I will be very much thankful if anyone can guide me out of this problem.

Thanks in advance
Smile | :)

Assuming the server uses standard HTML to communicate then you should be able to access it through a client written in any language you like.

A solution to what? Perhaps if you describe your problem someone may be able to offer some words of advice.

It's time for a new signature.

It's fairly simple. Server to Server communication is a Solved problem. I believe they came up with a human readable data interchange format to facilitate this sort of task in the late 90's. It's called XML and you can deliver it using either Restful calls or webservices and both languages can make and receive requests from each other across the Internet as well as share data in an interoperable format.

Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS.

As mentioned, it would help if you described what the problem is.

Since your client and server are on 2 separate machines, if one sends information in a format the other can handle, it really doesn't matter what languages or operating systems are used on either end.

You cannot use a 2.0 compiled .DLL in a 1.1 project. With those versions of the .NET Framework, you cannot load two different versions of the .NET CLR in the same process at the same time, like you're trying to do.

If you cannot recompile the 2.0 .DLL under 1.1 because you used stuff that isn't available in 1.1, you have no choice but to upgrade your 2003 project to Visual Studio 2005, or higher, and write in under .NET 2.0, or higher.

desrialization fail due to xsi:type

jainiraj19-Jul-10 22:42

19-Jul-10 22:42

hello all,
I want to deserialize an xml file.This xml has one attribute as xsi:type="value". When i do deserialization xml without this xsi:type thn it works, but when I include this an exception occures.
Please help is there any idea behind it.
Thanks in advance...

Can you elaborate more by posting here your
xml file or with some sample data, to understand
the scenario?

I think your xml file is not pure, contain
some invalid data that's why it is failing
during serialization.

Ok, I have dig our more and I found this[^] link.
According to this this is (content xsi Smile | :)

So can you give me the exception or error you are receiving during deserialization?

It is not giving a specific exception.When I run code of deserialization it halts and give a general exception like deserialization fail and indiacte at the line whcih contains xsi:type.

This code might get you on the right track:

XmlSerializerNamespaces namespaces = new XmlSerializerNamespaces();
namespaces.Add("", "");
namespaces.Add("xsi", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyObject));
serializer.Serialize(File.Create("all.xml"), customers, namespaces);

Did you deserialize with the code given? Also, my code is a starting point for something to try. Attempt variations of namespaces, etc.
