Can it be done??? Any websites that have similar examples or links will be greatly thankful..... Re: Saving HTML Form Data to XML....... Need Help......

I have built a release version . I need to deploy this on another machine that doesnt have MSXML installed. How can I know which components(.ocx's or dll's) to include ? Please help Re: MSXML 4.0 deployment Richard Deeming20-Dec-02 0:34 Richard Deeming 20-Dec-02 0:34  If you are creating a Windows Installer for your project, you can use the merge module (see the link for the downloads). Otherwise, you can either use the CAB file, or just run the MSXML4 setup on the other machine. http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/027/001/766/msdncompositedoc.xml[^] "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer Re: MSXML 4.0 deployment Michael A.

Re: MSXML 4.0 deployment Michael A. Barnhart20-Dec-02 5:14 Michael A. Barnhart 20-Dec-02 5:14  You may want to ask Richard this. It has been several years since I actually prepared any distributions. At that time I was using the Wise Installer product line. "I will find a new sig someday." DTD Repository Victor Boctor18-Dec-02 17:04 Victor Boctor 18-Dec-02 17:04  Does anybody know about a DTD repository where I can find already defined DTDs for specific applications. For example, I am currently looking for a DTD that defines the rules for XML files that are to include bug information. I would like to integrate this into an Open Source bugtracker. http://mantisbt.sourceforge.net[^] Regards, Victor phpWebNotes is a page annotation system modelled after php.net. http://webnotes.sourceforge.net/demo.php[^] Re: DTD Repository Christian Graus18-Dec-02 17:24 Christian Graus 18-Dec-02 17:24  The purpose of a shared DTD is to established an agreed format between multiple clients. I don't see the purpose of the sort of repository you're proposing. you should also abandon DTD's - they suck. An XSD is the way to establish schema information.

So instead of me re-inventing the wheel and defining this format (formally through DTD or informally), I was looking for an already defined format to re-use. Another advantage of using an already defined format, is that it can be used as a standard for exporting defects from one Bug tracker and importing them into another. There can also be an already existing XSLTs to convert it into different formats. I would expect the format to look like the following: <bugs> <summary> </summary> <description> </descripion> ... and so on... </bugs> Regards, Victor phpWebNotes is a page annotation system modelled after php.net. http://webnotes.sourceforge.net/demo.php[^] Re: DTD Repository Christian Graus18-Dec-02 19:20 Christian Graus 18-Dec-02 19:20  Yes, but why would competing products publicise their formats so that other products can offer easy export to customers leaving them ? And as you say, XSLT is a good tool for converting formats, although less so DTD, compared to XSD.

If these products are Open Source products, then they actually publicise everything including the code, not just the format! 2. If the DTD or XSD is designed by a standards organisation. The same way HTML DTD are defined by w3c. 3. In some cases there are projects that are focused around XML/DTD. For example, I once saw a Resume project that defines a XML format to store resume information which is then used to different formats including HTML/PDF/...etc with different styles as well. In addition to all of the above, there is HOPE I was just checking before I go and design my own format. After all we are all here to learn and re-use whatever we can!

Re: DTD Repository Christian Graus19-Dec-02 13:44 Christian Graus 19-Dec-02 13:44  Well, obviously if someone is forced to do it, that's another matter.

In my case data management and migration is a very expensive task. What if you go out of buiseness? I must have the ability to migrate the data I own. (The US supreme court did rule (for the US ok) that the company that uses the product owns the data not the company that made the software product a number of years ago.) I also have the right to share my data with partners that may not be using your product. So I publish my data in a format that can be shared and managed. You may very well have a private format that is used internally, but you will have a published format that is public and very perferably based on some international standard.

I don't see the purpose of the sort of repository you're proposing. Bit contradictory that, don't you think? The repository idea is actually been done for DTDs and XSDs (the concept is the same) and I think it is a great idea. Take the medical profession for instance. They have a multitude of forms and data models. There are efforts under way to compile a central repository of XML vocabs for the medical industry. Then any doctor who needs to publish some finding can go online, get the right vocab and publish his work. Prescriptions, chemical models, gene models, medicine production chains, you name it.

Think bigger than companies. Think industries. We already do share DTDs. Namely XHTML, SVG, CML (Chemical Markup Language) and a host of others. The whole point is so that two companies in the same industry can communicate efficiently between each other on an industry agreed standard. If we keep our DTDs locked up then they are pretty damned worthless, their value is far less. Anyway, I believe in sharing schemas. Christian Graus wrote: Is it driven by people using it, or on an 'if we build it, they will come' approach ? They provide the hosting space and industries then elect a committee to produce a schema or ten for the industry. The schema is then hosted on the site.

Indeed. We actually used a standardised company stock information schema awhile back to share stock data between two companies. Generally we are not large enough to be doing inter-company projects which require shared schemas, so we have not had much practice in it. But that one time was actually very interesting.

Not schema but for an example look at the CAD industry. No one company makes all of any of the larger products they work with many suppliers and do not requirer the same software execpt for close partners. All of the major CAD vendors support STEP and IGES to communicate with each other. The ones that stayed proprietary only are gone. Christian Graus wrote: I just don't see why it should be automatic. Depends on your industry. For mine migration and sharing of data is an absolute must. So we will not buy products that do not allow us that capability. You do not have to meet our requirements and we do not have to buy your product. Simple market driven events. "I will find a new sig someday." Re: DTD Repository Michael A.
