XML and HTML

I am a beginner when we consider XML.

So, I will need help if anyone can guide me on how to convert below XML file to HTML Display.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <returnMessage xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.secretsite.com/">
<ErrorName>Success</ErrorName>
<ErrorDescription>Rejected - Duplicate from same vendor</ErrorDescription>
<LeadID>12731285</LeadID>
<ClientAvailable>false</ClientAvailable>
</returnMessage>

Reason for Converting XML to HTML is I dotn want my user to see [url]http://www.secretsite.com[/url] link.

So, HTML will show...

ErrorDescription : Rejected - Duplicate from same vendor LeadID : 12731285
ClientAvailable : false

Any guidance will definitely help.. Its BIT urgent..

I heard I have to use XSL Transformations (XSLT) but it goes top over my head.

Further Details :
*********************

When I use in My ASP file

It returns me the XML file as shown above.

So, Currently it is

Form --- > InsertLead --- > XML Output

I am looking forward to

Form --- > InsertLead --- > XML Output---> HTML Output

Possible ?

I found one link but still thinking how to use it...

Hi kolucoms6 ,

You can use xpath to pick out the data from xml file.

When you get xml file from webservice , you can use code below to do this.

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.Load(Server.MapPath("XMLFile13.xml"));
        XmlNamespaceManager xnm = new XmlNamespaceManager(doc.NameTable);
        xnm.AddNamespace("abc", "http://www.secretsite.com/");
        XmlNode node = doc.SelectSingleNode("//abc:ErrorDescription",xnm);
        string test = node.InnerText;

Re: XML and HTML

Regarding XMLFile13.xml , But I cant make out the name of the file it returns

Re: XML and HTML

Hi kolucoms6,

I can not consume webservice , so I store the xml data in xml file . The content in xml file is the same as the content returned from web method.

Re: XML and HTML

Sorry but I am confused about what you said

Re: XML and HTML

Hi kolucoms6,

The content of xmlfile13.xml is

<returnMessage xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.secretsite.com/">
<ErrorName>Success</ErrorName>
<ErrorDescription>Rejected - Duplicate from same vendor</ErrorDescription>
<LeadID>12731285</LeadID>
<ClientAvailable>false</ClientAvailable>
</returnMessage>

You can get the value above from webservice right ? After that , you can use Class XmlDocument to load the data.

Re: XML and HTML

Sorry for my questions, but why the file name is

xmlfile13.xml and not xmlfile14.xml or anything else ?

Re: XML and HTML

Hi kolucoms6 ,

kolucoms6

but why the file name is

xmlfile13.xml and not xmlfile14.xml or anything else ?

Yes, the name can be anything else.[:)]

In my testing environment, I can not invoke web method , so I stored the xml data in one file called xmlfile13.xml as the return value from webservice.

Re: XML and HTML

So, I have to first store/save it and can try the code you sent me ?

But how to save it ?

Re: XML and HTML

Currently it is

Form --- > InsertLead --- > XML Output

I am looking forward to

Form --- > InsertLead --- > XML---> HTML Output

Re: XML and HTML

Hi kolucoms6 ,

No , there is no need to save it . What is web method return type ?

Re: XML and HTML

Sorry, what do you mean by

" web method return type " ?

Re: XML and HTML

Hi kolucoms6 ,

[WebMethod]
public string HelloWorld()
{
  return "Aaa";
}

String is the type of retrun value. What is yours?

Re: XML and HTML

I am sending few values from my form to the backend and it returns me the XML file which get displayed in my Internet Explorer.

Re: XML and HTML

Hi kolucoms6,

Ok, the web method may like this one.

[WebMethod]
        public string test2()
        {
            string xml = "&lt;root>aaaa</root>";
            Context.Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
            return xml;
        }

So you can use code below to load xml data.

        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            localhost.Service1 ser = new localhost.Service1();
            string xml = ser.test2();
            XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
            doc.LoadXml(xml);
        }

localhost.Service is the stub of webservice in client side.

Re: XML and HTML

I am using Classic ASP.

Re: XML and HTML

Hi kolucoms6 ,

This is asp.net forum . I am not familar with Classic asp.

I found this article , hope it is helpful to you.

http://www.dotnetjunkies.com/Article/99CA4563-FBD4-411F-A9C6-FF9E8A0E664F.dcik

I think the principle is the same.

<div mce_keep="true">send one soap message to webservice.</div>
<div mce_keep="true">recieve one soap message from webservice</div>
<div mce_keep="true">parse the message and get value</div>

Re: XML and HTML

Awesome example... Exactly what I was looking for.

Now, I have an Instruction to use it as in my form

For my ASP page, it will change to

webServiceUrl = "http://apps.secretsite.com/Suppliers/WebServices/InsertLeads.asmx/InsertLead?FirstName=" & Name

Set node = myXmlDoc.documentElement.selectSingleNode("//LeadID")

But I get an Error as :

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01A8)
Object required: 'myXmlDoc.documentElement'
/XML/MyXML.asp, line 19
