HTML Form to XML Document
I am lost, I have been trying to figure out how to add a regular old html form to generate data onto a page saved into an xml document then transformed it through a xslt to generate a news page. I read an article on how "easy it was" to do however I know nothing about an XML DOM creation which seems to be like a brick wall to my progress.In the process I've managed to @#$ up my Default.aspx so it is not recognizing or locating something connected with it....
so my questions are:
1. is it possible to create an XMLDom with generates XML Documents with data entered from an HTML form
2. if so is there a walkthrough which can help me create an XMLDom
3. do I have to reconstruct my Default page in order to debug it?
Your help is most appreciated
Lost in VB
Thanks
Not entire clear what you are trying to do, but the HTML Form Data will be posted to your ASPX page, from there you can do something like this:
' create empty XML Document object
Dim doc as XmlDocument = new XmlDocument()
doc.LoadXml("<data/>")
' Load the fields from the FORM into the child XML elements
Dim field1 as string = Request.Form("field1")
Dim child = doc.CreateElement("field1")
child.InnerText = field1
doc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(child)
' Then save the XML document on your server
doc.Save(Server.MapPath("data.xml"))
Thank you, I ended up rendering things using the dataset to datalist instead and now I understand that Microsoft is delaying the release of something pertaining to the written xml document... so using the object database instead of the xml database hookup seems to have been a wise decision. I will keep your notes however, because at sometime in the near future I'm sure that it will prove useful.
Thanks
