301 of 344 | A Java based XML browser : X-Smiles - X-Smiles is  a Java based XML browser. It is intended for both desktop use and embedded network devices and to support multimedia services. The main advantage of the X-Smiles browser is that it supports several XML related specifications and is still suitable for embedded devices supporting the Java environment. The main objective of X-Smiles project is to deliver a pure Java XML browser, capable of displaying documents written in various XML languages. The X-Smiles browser should support at least: XML+CSS XHTML XSL Transformations (XSLT) Synchronised Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) XForms XHTML X3D Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) XSL Formattin......

304 of 344 | Microsoft Word, XML, and the hierarchical DataSet - I was finalizing some demos for an internal event here at Microsoft. We have an internal conference for people from the field and elsewhere to learn more about our technologies, do some hands-on labs and so forth. It`s goodness. I am doing a presentation on...yeah- Word, Excel, and the XML story. It`s fertile ground, and I never tire of farming it. One of things I will show is how to build Word documents from XML directly- nothing earth shattering in and of itself as we have a number of canned demos for this. However, I will show how to use .NET and/or SQL Server`s XML support to make all of this happen. For example, in my last demo, I use a custom winform app to connect to a database. I pu......

311 of 344 | Idea for usage in regards to Dimitre`s "meta-data" post - Something just occured to me as far as a really useful way of using the “meta-data” obtained during the recursive processing of a sequence of nodes.

In the config-bat-output.xml file the following XML structure and data exists:...

312 of 344 | Meta-data in XSLT 2.0 - In a recent post to XSL-List Dimitre Novatchev brings out what I believe to be an extremely important aspect in regards to understanding all that is taking place in our code and to easily be able to use that information in other areas of our code or in cases such as debugging, documentation, etc... More importantly he discusses that at present time the "meta-data" stored in an atomic value can not be represented "natively in XML" and as such must be processed first adding each atomic value to the node of a node-set or to further pipe the result of the transformation outside of the transformation as a delimited string for further processing by another application or language implementation.......

315 of 344 | Jean Paoli speaks out on XML and the future - Paoli: Information correlation, reasoning next step for XMLNow that XML is successfully employed on the front end as well, what`s nextPaoli: XML is at the front end. Adobe, OpenOffice, they`re adding XML to the front end as well. The technology is here, that`s the fun part of this for me. This is the tip of the iceberg because imagine a time when millions of documents are stored and archived in XML. Project yourself in a few years, millions of documents created by humans, stored in databases. For IT it`s data, for users, it`s documents. Then, we`ll have millions of new opportunities to start correlating the information, think about reasoning on top of it and managing it.---Recently [and in ......

319 of 344 | New Alternative to Muenchian Method of Grouping - In a post to XSL-List yesterday Sergiu Ignat states:I would like to present you a simple, XSLT 1.0, fast grouping method with a O(N*log(N)) complexity, the same as sorting. The only grouping method I knew so far is Muenchian that has O(N^2) complexity.As Jay Bryant states in a follow up at first look this method seems interesting but as Michael Kay points out things may not be exactly as Sergiu suggests. The best way to find out of course is to write the code using the Muenchian method that uses the same criteria to produce the same output and then transform the test XML with both stylesheets using Saxon and the -t option to determine the time each method takes to finish. So I’ve done jus......

344 of 344 | Using the XSLT document() function in .NET 1.1 - Version 1.1 of the .NET platform sports a slightly different XslTransform object with more secure Load() and Transform() methods. Many of the overloaded versions of the Transform() method from version 1.0 of .NET are now considered to be obsolete. If you take a closer look at the Transform() method (in the documentation for version 1.1 of the framework) youll see that the new overloads expect you to pass an instance of an XmlResolver. An example of one of these overloads is shown below: public void Transform(XPathNavigator, XsltArgumentList, TextWriter, XmlResolver); This a little confusing for some because XmlResolver is an abstract class that cannot be created directly. However, ......
