ASP & XML Document
I have XML and XSL documents stored in SQL Server 2000 field. On the asp page i will be getting these documents from the database and then displaying the content of the XML document according to the XSL on the asp page.
How can i do this?
Also after getting the documents from the database do i need to store these on the server as .XML and .XSL and then read through these or i can directly read from these document without saving these physically.

Can i pass XML as string rather than storing the files physically. If yes, then can i do some thing like:
xmlContent = recordset.fields("XML").va
xslContent = recordset.fields("XSL").va
or i have to use here ado stream to read the files from the recordset
and then
set source = Server.CreateObject("Micro
source.async = false
source.loadXML(xmlContent)
set style = Server.CreateObject("Micro
style.async = false
style.load(xslContent)
Response.Write source.transformNode(style
xmlContent = recordset.fields("XML").va
xslContent = recordset.fields("XSL").va
or i have to use here ado stream to read the files from the recordset
and then
set source = Server.CreateObject("Micro
source.async = false
source.loadXML(xmlContent)
set style = Server.CreateObject("Micro
style.async = false
style.load(xslContent)
Response.Write source.transformNode(style
I seem to remember reading that the XML can be passed as a string....I'll see if I can find the reference.

Have you tried just passing the strings from the database to these two lines?
sourceFile = Server.MapPath("DataConten
styleFile = Server.MapPath("DataConten
i.e.,
sourceFile = objRS("strXML")
styleFile = objRS("strXSL")
FtiB
sourceFile = Server.MapPath("DataConten
styleFile = Server.MapPath("DataConten
i.e.,
sourceFile = objRS("strXML")
styleFile = objRS("strXSL")

I have checked it with the physical file and it works.
Have not checked it yet with passing the string directly from the recordset field.

You can use strings stored in a database instead of files.
All you need to change is how you load the XML DOM.
Instead of using
source.load "<file name>"
use:
source.loadXML <string value from database>

So what I said above will work, then?
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<%
sourceFile = objRS("strXML")
styleFile = objRS("strXSL")
set source = Server.CreateObject("Micro
source.async = false
source.load(sourceFile)
set style = Server.CreateObject("Micro
style.async = false
style.load(styleFile)
Response.Write source.transformNode(style
%>
or is it necessary to change:
source.load(sourceFile)
to:
source.loadXML(sourceFile)

source.loadXML works
xmlContent = recordset.fields("XML").va
xslContent = recordset.fields("XSL").va
Thanks guys
xmlContent = recordset.fields("XML").va
xslContent = recordset.fields("XSL").va
Thanks guys
Glad to have helped,
