The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Missing Tag <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> in my XML output file

Asked by jsuanque in Extensible Markup Language (XML), Programming for ASP.NET, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Tags: XML, ASP.NET 3.5, VB.Net

Hi,
On my web page, a button generates an XML file (on click) whose data comes from SQL server. This XML file output is to be used as an import file to a legacy system. XML file is generated without dramas but the problem is that the tag <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> is not included on the top of the XMl file, this tag is needed by the recievning application.

I'm practically out of clue as to where or what i missed. Can anyone help me understand and suggest a fix on my problem?

Here is the event on my webpage. And on the snippet is my XSL template...


    Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Using conn As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("CENTRIS_SMIConnectionString").ConnectionString)
            Dim cmd As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("SMI_P001_XML_Download", conn)
            cmd.CommandType = Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure
            conn.Open()
            'Add parameters (NationalUPN) selected from form for WHERE clause
            cmd.Parameters.Add("@NationalUPN", Data.SqlDbType.VarChar)
            cmd.Parameters("@NationalUPN").Value = DropDownList2.SelectedValue.ToString

            'Add parameters (AcademicYear) selected from form for WHERE clause
            cmd.Parameters.Add("@AcademicYear", Data.SqlDbType.Int)
            cmd.Parameters("@AcademicYear").Value = DropDownList3.SelectedValue.ToString

            'Add parameters (SchoolDestination) selected from form for WHERE clause
            cmd.Parameters.Add("@SchoolDest", Data.SqlDbType.Int)
            cmd.Parameters("@SchoolDest").Value = DropDownList1.SelectedValue.ToString

            Dim da As New Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
            Dim ds As New Data.DataSet
            da.Fill(ds)
            Dim nowString As String = Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy hh.mm.ss")
            Dim fileName As String = "D:\TEMP\000LLL_CTF_SMI_" & nowString & ".xml"
            'Dim fileName As String = "C:\Documents and Settings\jackson.suanque.NTSCHOOLS\Desktop\MySMIStudentTrackerExport_" & nowString & ".xml"
            ds.WriteXml(fileName)
            Dim doc As System.Xml.XmlDataDocument = New System.Xml.XmlDataDocument(ds)
            Dim transform As New System.Xml.Xsl.XslCompiledTransform()
            transform.Load("D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebSite2\SMI_Tracker_Download2.xsl")
            'transform.Load(Server.MapPath("SMI_Tracker_Download1.xsl"))
            Dim writer As System.Xml.XmlTextWriter = New System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(fileName, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)
            writer.Formatting = System.Xml.Formatting.Indented
            writer.Indentation = 2
            transform.Transform(doc, Nothing, writer)
        End Using
    End Sub
