Hi,

       I'm new here. I was just wondering if anyone knew a simple way of displaying xml from SQL Server into ASP.NET using XSL. Here is my situation: I'm retrieving xml from xml server using SqlDataReader and displaying it using <asp:Label> . I do not want to use the DataGrid or DataView control. I was trying to use xslTransform but I don't think it can be used with the elements that I am using. Any thoughts or suggestions, anything would be welcome at this point. Thanks and Regards.

Use the ASP.NET xml control from the toolbox.

Thanks for your response, I guess I should have included my code before so everyone could get a better look at what I am trying to do, here it is:

                               <%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>
<html>
<title>Section 1 From PATH Chapter 10</title>
<head>

    <script runat="server">
         Sub Page_Load()
            Dim ConnStr As String = "Data Source=SQLSERVER;Initial Catalog=myDB1;Integrated Security=SSPI"
            Dim SQL As String = "SELECT Col001 FROM PWM1001TEST"
            Dim PubsConn As New SqlConnection(ConnStr)
            Dim TitlesCmd As New SqlCommand(SQL, PubsConn)
            Dim Titles As SqlDataReader
            PubsConn.Open()
            Titles = TitlesCmd.ExecuteReader()
            Output.Text = "<table>"
            While Titles.Read()
                Output.Text &= "<tr>"
                Output.Text &= "<td>" & Titles.GetValue(0) & "</td>"
               
                Output.Text &= "</tr>"
            End While
            Output.Text &= "</table>"
        End Sub
    </script>
</head>
<body background="Picture1.jpg">
    <h1 align=center>
        Path Chapter 10 Example</h1>
    <asp:Label ID="Output" runat="server"></asp:Label>
</body>
</html>

 

                The only thing is that when I would switch to <asp:Xml> then the Output.Text would not work. Is there another display control that directly corresponds to <asp.XML like Output.Text relates to <asp:Label>? And is the functionality of a xsl somehow built in to the <asp:XML>? If not it should be :-)

Ok, I found out how the xsl is used in the asp:xml but the example I am looking at is from Microsoft and is at the bottom of my response

I was wondering if there was a way that I could read through my entire xml column of my database on the server like I did in my code and somehow substitute it for "menu.xml" in the below example. Thanks for helping, I've tried this before but became discouraged when I fell upon this problem before.

    

<asp:Xml id="Xml1" runat="server" DocumentSource="menu.xml" TransformSource="menu.xslt"></asp:Xml></P>

I figured out how to do it. I don't think this is the most efficient way to go about the task but it works and if anyone else is having problems with this subject then they can use it as a basis. I had to read in the XML from the server, place it in a dynamically created xml file on the fly and display that file in ASP.NET using the <asp:Xml> control. Here is the code if anyone may find it useful:

<%@ Page Language ="C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Xml" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Xml.Xsl" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.IO" %>

<script runat="server" language="C#">
void Page_Load(){
    Get_XML_Data();
    //Get_XML_DataGrid();
}
void Get_XML_DataGrid(){
    DataSet myDataSet = new DataSet();
    myDataSet.ReadXml(Server.MapPath("pubs.xml"));
    xmlDG.DataSource = myDataSet;
    xmlDG.DataBind();
}

void Get_XML_Data() {
    string strConnect = "Data Source=SQLSERVER;Initial Catalog=myDB1;Integrated Security=SSPI";
    SqlConnection objConnect = new SqlConnection(strConnect);
    SqlDataAdapter objCommand = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT col FROM myTable where id = 1", objConnect);
    objConnect.Open();
    DataSet objDS = new DataSet();
    objCommand.Fill(objDS);
    objDS.DataSetName = "PubsList";
    if (!File.Exists(Server.MapPath("pubs.xml"))) {
        objDS.WriteXml(Server.MapPath("pubs.xml"), XmlWriteMode.IgnoreSchema);
    }
    XmlDocument XMLdoc = new XmlDocument();
    XMLdoc.Load(Server.MapPath("pubs.xml"));
    XslTransform XMLtrans = new XslTransform();
    XMLtrans.Load(Server.MapPath("ReadMe.xsl"));
    xmloutput.Document = XMLdoc;
    xmloutput.Transform = XMLtrans;
    objConnect.Close();
}
</script>

<asp:datagrid id="xmlDG" runat="server">
</asp:datagrid>
<asp:xml id="xmloutput" runat="server">
</asp:xml>

 

       However, the xsl I was using is now "out of date" according to W3C, anyone know where I can find a generic template? I have a HUGE xml file and it would be a serious pain if i had to construct another xsl file. Thanks
