Hi all,

I'm developing an aspx page which contains lot of label controls on it. there are about 60 label controls which i have given witha caption. Eg lblName this captures name of the user. like that.There are some custermized labels.which means that client to client the label name get changed.Eg:lblDateJoined, one client wants it to be Date Joined and another client wants it to be Date Joined to the Group.

I know that this can be done by using resource files but here to client to client we need to main tain the resource file.

I want to know whether i can find a solution by using an XML file to this.

Where user can cutermise the label caption in the xml file and whether the developer can write a code to extract what is in the xml file and populate it with the label.

Please provide me with an answer

thnks

You can use the XmlDocument to do that!

Hi LOVUDOTNET ,

If you want to read an xml file. You can use XmlDocument to load it and use xpath to pick out one node .

<root>
  <label>this is label</label>
</root>

        XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.Load(Server.MapPath("lab.xml"));
        XmlNode node = doc.SelectSingleNode("/root/label");
        this.Label1.Text = node.InnerText;

If you want to edit xml file.

See this useful link:

Hi SAMU,

 Can u plz tel me this? If the user edits the content of the XML file do we need to recompile the project inorder to changes to get affected.

Eg:/ as i explained in my problem if the user changes the value that is in the lab.xml do we need to build to get the changes?

als i have another question, inorder to handle a such requirement as i mentioned in my problem wht is the best solution that Microsoft can provide me.

MY PROBLEM:

I'm developing an aspx page which contains lot of label controls on it. there are about 60 label controls which i have given witha caption. Eg lblName this captures name of the user. like that.There are some custermized labels.which means that client to client the label name get changed.Eg:lblDateJoined, one client wants it to be Date Joined and another client wants it to be Date Joined to the Group. I know that this can be done by using resource files but here to client to client we need to main tain the resource file.

Cos if i make a table in the database and try to put the values that i want to populate in the form performance of the website might degrade.

thats why i thought of moving to XML if it allows me to do so.

but here the problem is i was asked  to provide an WEB interface to the user So that they can change the label caption as they want. So their decision is that i have to make a table in the database and store these values in the table.

Can u plz provide me with an answer

thanks
