Using xml/xsl in .net framework

2003-06-09 07:48:54
Hi all.

I am desparately seeking information/example of how to use an xml doc (using
xsl stylesheet that producing an html doc) from within .net (vb.net
specifically but that doesn't really matter)...NOT using datagrid/database
structure.

The problem is I can ONLY find examples on using xml via the datagrid
pulling from and writing to database structures.This is what I'm trying to
accomplish (vb.net BTW is mandated by others for this task). Any clues
appreciated...or please just point me in the right direction...I've been
through the obvious newsgroups, done umpteen Googles, read books...no luck.

(1) Created xml docs for work instructions...mostly <step> elements, a few
contain <measurement> elements to capture data input by the user. I'm using
xslt to select and present an html doc, including some vbscript for some
buttons created using the xsl stylesheet (such as StartTime, EndTime...to
capture system time, etc.).

(2) The user should open an aspx page, select some params from dropdown
boxes (i.e., customer, workstation, assembly) and click on Submit. This
should open the appropriate Work Instruction xml doc using those "system"
parameters and references another xml doc that specifies which doc to open.

I've figured out how to accomplish 1 and 2 (well, in theory at least), but

(3) I need to serve up the xml doc within .net and have some other features
within the same page for the users (such as look-up deviations from another
database, etc.) so I can't have the xml doc own the entire screen. This
would tell me that I somehow have to put the xml doc in a frame or
something. I need to capture any user input, and save the xml doc to a new
filename (updated each time user input occurs).

Someone PLEASE help me...

Thanks as always,

Kathy
