Hello

i'm replacing bookmark in a word 2010 file but it loses formatting (like indentation, numbering, lists etc)

Maybe i'm doing wrong in my code.

This is the code of function i use to replace bookmark :

        public static void ReplaceBookmarkText(WordprocessingDocument doc, string bookmarkName, string replacementText)
        {
            XDocument xDoc = doc.MainDocumentPart.GetXDocument();

            XElement bookmark = xDoc.Descendants(W.bookmarkStart).FirstOrDefault(d => (string)d.Attribute(W.name) == bookmarkName);

            if (bookmark == null)
                throw new BookmarkReplacerException("Document doesn't contain bookmark.");

            if (bookmark.Parent.Name.Namespace == M.m)
                throw new BookmarkReplacerException("Replacing text in math formulas is not supported.");

            if (OpenXmlPowerTools.RevisionAccepter.HasTrackedRevisions(doc))
                throw new BookmarkReplacerException("Replacing bookmark text in documents that have tracked revisions is not supported.");

            if (xDoc.Descendants(W.sdt).Any())
                throw new BookmarkReplacerException("Replacing bookmark text in documents that have content controls is not supported.");

            XElement newRoot = (XElement)FlattenParagraphsTransform(xDoc.Root);

            XElement startBookmarkElement = newRoot.Descendants(W.bookmarkStart).Where(d => (string)d.Attribute(W.name) == bookmarkName).FirstOrDefault();

            int bookmarkId = (int)startBookmarkElement.Attribute(W.id);

            XElement endBookmarkElement = newRoot.Descendants(W.bookmarkEnd).Where(d => (int)d.Attribute(W.id) == bookmarkId).FirstOrDefault();

            if (startBookmarkElement.Ancestors(W.hyperlink).Any() || endBookmarkElement.Ancestors(W.hyperlink).Any())
                throw new BookmarkReplacerException("Bookmark is within a hyperlink.  Can't replace text.");

            if (startBookmarkElement.Ancestors(W.fldSimple).Any() || endBookmarkElement.Ancestors(W.fldSimple).Any())
                throw new BookmarkReplacerException("Bookmark is within a simple field.  Can't replace text.");

            if (startBookmarkElement.Ancestors(W.smartTag).Any() || endBookmarkElement.Ancestors(W.smartTag).Any())
                throw new BookmarkReplacerException("Bookmark is within a smart tag.  Can't replace text.");

            if (startBookmarkElement.Parent != endBookmarkElement.Parent)
                throw new BookmarkReplacerException("Bookmark start and end not at same levels.  Can't replace text.");

            XElement parentElement = startBookmarkElement.Parent;

            var elementsBetweenBookmarks = startBookmarkElement.ElementsAfterSelf().TakeWhile(e => e != endBookmarkElement);

            var newElements = parentElement.Elements().TakeWhile(e => e != startBookmarkElement)
                .Concat(new[]
                {
                    startBookmarkElement,
                    new XElement(BookmarkReplacerCustomNamespace + "Insert",
                        elementsBetweenBookmarks
                            .Where(e => e.Name == W.r)
                            .Take(1)
                            .Elements(W.rPr)
                            .FirstOrDefault()),
                })
                .Concat(elementsBetweenBookmarks.Where(e => e.Name != W.p &&
                    e.Name != W.r && e.Name != W.tbl))
                .Concat(new[]
                {
                    endBookmarkElement
                })
                .Concat(endBookmarkElement.ElementsAfterSelf());

            parentElement.ReplaceNodes(newElements);

            newRoot = (XElement)UnflattenParagraphsTransform(newRoot);
            newRoot = (XElement)ReplaceInsertElement(newRoot, replacementText);
            newRoot = (XElement)DemoteRunChildrenOfBodyTransform(newRoot);

            xDoc.Elements().First().ReplaceWith(newRoot);

            doc.MainDocumentPart.PutXDocument();
        }

Hi everybody,

Hi,

My task is to convert the Excel file into XML. I used external Schema file to create XLM mappings in excel andsaved as with XML data format. I was able to save the file without any errors, I am having an issue that when I try to load the same saved XLM file into the network system, its showing the error,"XML file not valid"  and description it says"NO Schema Location found" 

My question are:

1.  If I created the Excel mappings with a XML Schema file, which already had Schema Location in it, shouldn't Schema Location be embedded into generated XML file??

2. If not, then, where should I look for the problem? Is it possible to insert Schema file into the XML? I am using XML Notepad for editing.

I would highly appreciate if anybdy can provide guidance in it.

Thanks,

Yash

All,

I am getting some "XML" feeds from some old lab equipment, however the XML isn't well formed.  Really it isn't even XML it is just a formatted text file.  So I will get a feed like the following:

<SampleSet Label="Sample Set"><Name Label="Name" Value="CQS6" /><AnalysisDate Label="Analysis Date" Value="3/13/2015 12:20 PM" /><CarbonAvg Label="Carbon Avg."

            doc.InsertAfter(newPI, doc.FirstChild);
            // Save document
            doc.Save(xmlfilename);

I've looked at a few different posts but I must be missing something because what I'm constructing isn't working.

Here's the XML code of an example event:

- <EventData><Data>User username@f.q.d.n has submitted 'Get BIOS Information' operation from servername to computername.f.q.d.n.</Data></EventData></Event>

This is my query:

<QueryList><Query Id="0"><Select Path="Application">*[EventData[Data and (Data='computername' or Data='ip.add.re.ss')]]</Select></Query></QueryList>

I always get 0 results, even if I take stabs in the dark:

• *[System[(Level=1  or Level=2 or Level=3 or Level=4 or Level=0 or Level=5)]]
• *[EventData[Data and (Data='*computername*')]]
• *[EventData[Data and (Data='%computername%')]]

I used this post as my guide for filtering based on content: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2011/09/26/advanced-xml-filtering-in-the-windows-event-viewer.aspx

Also:

I hope this is the right place for this question.  This said to post in the server forums, but in the server forums, it said to post here.

I happen to be doing this on a server, but it could just as easily be a desktop.

So, I have an assignment for my coding class and can't seem to figure out why it's outputting the wrong time! I think it has something to do with the time zones...no, i KNOW it has to do with that, but I don't know how to fix it. I've looked online and no one seems to use the code we use. If anybody could help, that'd be awesome. Also, I am trying to figure out how to insert a "0" in front of any single-digit value. For example, if the time is 12:03, I want the minutes place to display "03" and not "3" This is extra credit so I really don't mind if you don't answer that part of the question, but I would appreciate any and all help!

My current code:

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int totalSeconds = time(0);
	int currentSecond = totalSeconds % 60;
	int totalMinutes = totalSeconds / 60;
	int currentMinute = totalMinutes % 60;
	int totalHours = totalMinutes / 60;
	int currentHour = totalHours % 12;
	cout << "The current time is: " << currentHour << ":"<< currentMinute << ":" << currentSecond << " GMT" <<
		endl;

system("PAUSE");
}

BACKGROUND :
I have xmldocument which has been returned from Land Registry Business Gateway Web Services.
I can successfully access all the returned fields via the Added Service Reference.

QUESTION:
Can I access the XMLDocument directly and if so how?

REASON:
I want to transform it using some XSL, (I know how to do this).
I have searched high and low for this answer but cannot find it anywhere.
Ideally I would like to also write it to a file before transforming it.

I know I could just output the fields in the correct xml format, but I do not think this is necessary as it must already be stored in the returned object in XML format somewhere.

I am sure there is probably a really basic answer to this, help!

Hello,

public void SetHtmlSourceFromXmlDocument(XmlDocument xmlDocument)
{
    var transform = new XslCompiledTransform();
    transform.Load(xmlDocument);

    // ...
}

On customer computers transform.Load(xmlDocument) will take 15 seconds the first time. Subsequent calls will take ~1 ms. Software restart: first call takes again 15 seconds.

This happens only with our server build, a build from my computer (also release) will run just fine (the only thing I know that the server build signs assemblies). This problem also occurs only on non-developer systems (no Visual Studio, no internet access, only intranet). On one of the problematic systems this problem disappeared, but I have no idea why (It seems I did something buy I don't know what, can't reproduce the error on this system anymore).

I also tried transform.Load(xmlDocument, null, null) or supplying my own XmlResolver(GetEntity is never called), because I read that XslCompiledTransform could try to access the xmlns namespace urls to validate the document (maybe I misunderstood that).

I can't install Visual Studio on these machines for debugging. Has someone an idea what could cause this or what I could try to find the issue?

I asked this question a few days ago on stackoverflow (question 29397657) with no luck (can't provide link because I'm not allowed to post links here).

I don't know a lot about XML, so hang in there please.

Scenario:

A XML file is written in a webservice and returns it to an asp page for parsing.

Returned in the xml.responsetext:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?> <PartAvailabilityResponse> <OnHand>96</OnHand> <BinLocation>NO BIN</BinLocation> </PartAvailabilityResponse>

Asp Parsing Attempt:

I have tried a number of ways... ways that have been successful before. The only partial success I have had so far is it being seen and read as one element returning   "96 NO BIN"

 Set objLst = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
            objLst.Loadxml (xmlhttp.responseTEXT)
            Set node_list = objLst.documentElement.selectNodes("PartAvailabilityResponse")  Errors:Object required: '[object]'

Tried to see if length will work:

    Set objLst = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
          objLst.Loadxml (xmlhttp.responseTEXT)

response.write "length="&(objLst.length) Errors:Object doesn't support this property or method: 'length'

Tried:  Set objLst =Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.xmlDOM")  same errors

Partial Success:  Returns the result  ..  '96 NO BIN'

 Set objLst = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
            objLst.Loadxml (xmlhttp.responseTEXT)
            set  node_list = objLst.GetElementsByTagName("*")
            ss= node_list.item(0).text
            response.write(ss)    Returns:  96 NO BIN

             response.write "length="&(node_list.length)  Returns: 1

Appreciate any help.

Hi all,

I am trying to create an XML document that looks like this:

<CustomerData><ReferenceInformation><ReturnRef>TESTREF0123</ReturnRef><Action>New</Action></ReferenceInformation><HoldingEntity>TEST12345</HoldingEntity><Profitable>1</Profitable><LocalData><CustomerInfo><CustRef>TEST ACCOUNTReg</CustRef><CustAction>New</CustAction></CustomerInfo><CustomerNumber>99110022</CustomerNumber><OrderData><PurchaseOrder>20</PurchaseOrder><OrderAmount currCode="GBP">1203.00</OrderAmount></OrderData><Contact><FirstName>FirstName</FirstName><LastName>Surname</LastName><Address><StreetName>Street 123</StreetName><City>My City</City><CountryCode>GB</CountryCode></Address></Contact></LocalData></CustomerData>

I need to create multiple items for LocalData. At the moment I am able to do it for one LocalData node using the code below (note I have stripped out a lot in order to send it but I can provide more info.

        private void localData(Customer Info)
        {
            object[] customerItems = new object[] { customerInfo };
            customerItems.Items = accountItems;

            ItemsChoiceType[] accountFieldNames = new ItemsChoiceType[] { correspondingFields };
            customerItems.ItemsElementName = accountFieldNames;
        }

I got a schema done for me and created a class file using xsd.exe which is where I am getting the arrays from.

How best can I achieve what I am looking to do?

Hi,

i am signing XMLs:

....code....

MyXmlElement=MySignature.GetXml()

and i obtain the famous "<Signature xmlns=http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#>"  etc...

How can i obtain "<dsignature xmlnss=http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#>" ?

(Note: before ComputeSignature() it is not possible making changes, you know)

I'm very tired surfing for all over the web.

I will pray for a solution (i'm been reading in a lot of forums, etc) haha.

Hello, fellow colleagues!

I'm trying to sign an XML SOAP request document using SignedXml via detached signature.

In order to pass signature validation I also need to perform two reference transformations. First one is standard XmlDsigExcC14NTransform which I have no problems with. But second one is not provided by Transform class.

This transformation can be performed before passing document to SignedXml but SignedInfo should still contain entry about this transformation in <Transforms> block.

I'm also trying to avoid deriving Transform method.

Is there a way to add a <Transfrom Algorithm="alg"> block with desired transformation algorithm (which by the way is "urn://smev-gov-ru/xmldsig/transform") into SignedInfo without actually performing one and avoid breaking the signature?

So the structure that is to be formed is

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns="urn://x-artefacts-smev-gov-ru/services/message-exchange/types/1.1" xmlns:ns1="urn://x-artefacts-smev-gov-ru/services/message-exchange/types/basic/1.1"><soapenv:Header /><soapenv:Body><ns:SendResponseRequest><ns:SenderProvidedResponseData Id="SIGNED_BY_PROVIDER" xmlns:ns="urn://x-artefacts-smev-gov-ru/services/message-exchange/types/1.1" xmlns:ns1="urn://x-artefacts-smev-gov-ru/services/message-exchange/types/basic/1.1"><ns:MessageID>d37b6d00-ed9c-11e4-b80c-0800200c9a66</ns:MessageID><ns:To>3219|x-artefacts-gibdd-gov-ru_breach_root_1.0_BreachRequest|0e8cfc01-5e81-11e4-a9ff-d4c9eff07b77</ns:To><ns1:MessagePrimaryContent><ns2:Response xmlns:ns2="http://ns.rospotrebnadzor.ru/rpnopeka3/1.0.0">1</ns2:Response></ns1:MessagePrimaryContent></ns:SenderProvidedResponseData><ns:CallerInformationSystemSignature><Signature xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#"><SignedInfo><CanonicalizationMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xml-c14n-20010315" /><SignatureMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#gostr34102001-gostr3411" /><Reference URI="#SIGNED_BY_PROVIDER"><ds:Transforms><ds:Transform Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n#" />

Good day,

I have a problem with a project I am busy with. I am creating an XML document from a predefined schema. I am able to this with no problem for one level using this method:

                //Financial Information Return main array
                //FIReturn(submissionData, fireturnActionData, accountData);

                FIReturnType fireturn = new FIReturnType();
                object[] fiItems = new object[] { fireturnActionData, fiRegisterID, dueDilligenceInd, thresholdInd, accountData };
                fireturn.Items = fiItems;

                ItemsChoiceType1[] fiFieldnames = new ItemsChoiceType1[] { ItemsChoiceType1.FIReturnAction, ItemsChoiceType1.FIRegisterId, ItemsChoiceType1.DueDiligenceInd, ItemsChoiceType1.ThresholdInd, ItemsChoiceType1.AccountData };
                fireturn.ItemsElementName = fiFieldnames;

                FIReturnType[] fiData = new FIReturnType[] { fireturn  };
                //Map FI return data to submissionData
                submissionData.FIReturn = fiData;

                //Serialize the submission close the TextWriter

                serializer.Serialize(writer, fatcaSub);

                writer.Close();

                Process.Visible = false;
                MessageBox.Show("Processing Complete!", "Complete", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1);
                Close();

            }

The problem is that I would like fireturn to appear in the document more than once from a dataset. If I changed my code to this:

FIReturnType[] fiData = new FIReturnType[] { fireturn, fireturn, fireturn  };
                //Map FI return data to submissionData
                submissionData.FIReturn = fiData;

As far as I've seen, .NET does not support XML schema 1.1 (only 1.0), for instance for the validating readers.

There are quite a few nice features in XSD 1.1 and I would like to use them. Are there any plans to include support for XML schema 1.1 anytime soon?

To XML Forum

This is a new question related to my initial trial to understand how to get a nullable class structure to work in the XMLreader.

I am trying to generate classes from xsd files and in the full ADAC version there are 16 different xsd files.  One for each type of object sewer, storm, water etc and One file for the base generic objects used in most major objects :- a point, a polyline, simple path, complex path for geometry.  Each file name is 30 chars so that is 480 chars for all the names.

I am trying to generate the C# files and it says the line length exceeds 260 chars.  Can I put the file names in a parameter file as one per line.  That is the most common approach to this style of problem.

Is there a simple way to do the XSD so that all the dependencies are obeyed.  The main XSD works on its own.

XSD /l:cs /class adac_v410.xsd adac_sewer.xsd Multiple files

Decided to write a simple reader of the XML file so I can debug the xmlreader and make it verbose as it goes through the file.  I will just write out a simple text file of the values to test the file structure.

With thanks...

I have sample XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><root><name id="show_file.php?fid=120983&action=download" /></root>

I use simple C# console application to dump the content of this XML:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var xmlPath = @"c:\test.xml";
    var xml = XElement.Load(xmlPath);
    Console.WriteLine(xml.ToString());
}

However, an error occurs:

The error points to "=" sign here "&action=". I looked up the stack trace:

The point of interest is System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.HandleEntityReference(Boolean isInAttributeValue, EntityExpandType expandType, Int32& charRefEndPos). As I understand, Xml searches for entity tokens in attribute value. But is it mandatory? I think I can store in attribute value ANY characters and their combinations as far as I use parenthesis. Am I right?

There is no knowledge that is not power.

Hello everyone,

I have this very devious class hierarchy that is supposed to be saved as an XML file. I found that the DataContractSerializer is quite suitable for this objects (or at least as suitable as the XAML servcies), so I went ahead and added the DataContract and DataMember attributes to all the items in the class hierarchy.

Now, the problem is, one of the classes in this hierarcy references another class (which is outside), defined in an xsd file (created with visual studio editor). The class is a nested class (yup). The topmost class inherits from DataSet, the nested class inherits from DataRow. I couldn't find any way of adding the required attributes for the DataContractSerializer, as the designer will undo all my changes upon build (since the file is automatically generated).

How can I serialize this class along with my other classes? Apparently, DataSet has a method that write XML directly, but i can't find a way to make it work with DataContractSerializer :(

The application makes heavy use of datagridview and all teh related data controls. This is probably the reason why it uses a database and xsd in the first place (i am not the one who designed it btw).
