(Philip Fennell) My previous post XSLT and Binary File Formats, brought-up the subject of the sequence in XSLT 2.0 and how it can be used to build a byte sequence for a binary file format like a TIFF image. For the XSLT generation of new binary files to be even remotely useful, you would need someth

(Paul Kimmel) I heard through the grapevine that VB.NET was mentioned on an episode of CSI: recently. Because I don’t watch much TV, I missed it, but it’s cool. It’s a little like the invisible hand of Bill Gates reached out and said let’s make VB.NET cool again. (Did VB ever stop being cool?) Or, m

(Tyler Anderson) This is the third article in a four-part series about using XForms, IBM DB2 pureXML, and Ruby together to more easily create Web applications. In this series you will develop a hypothetical application for managing patient information at a doctor’s office. You will get a taste of th

(Phillip Fennel) With all the recent talk of angle bracket taxes and what XML is and isnt good for, I thought it would be fun to look at taking XSLT to places where it is not normally associated – the generation of binary file formats.

(Shawn Hargreaves)I decided to write a few posts about the role played by XML in the XNA Framework Content Pipeline, because this isn’t well documented and people seem to find it confusing.

(Thiago Almeida) I often have to set the value of an element under a messages repeating node with the same value. Of course, normally youd use a map, but what if the value isnt in the source message? The last time I ran into this was in a project where orders coming into BizTalk via a web service ha

(Prateek Kathpal) XML is becoming an increasingly common format for organizations to express the structure of their complex or diverse content. It enables ease of authoring, making it ideal for companies seeking to develop flexible applications. Storage, manipulation and handling of XML has always b

(Kurt Cagle) Declarative programming can take a little getting used to, especially if your standard mode of operation is working with languages like Java or C#. In essence, such programming requires that you think not of objects, properties and methods but rather of rules, filters and pipelines.

(William Brogden) Starting with the relatively simple XML-RPC (remote procedure call) protocol ten years ago, frameworks and standards for Web services have steadily gotten more complicated. For some time, SOAP has seemed to have a lock on developer thinking while open source and commercial framewor

(Ben Nadel) About your post: Testing For The Absence Of A Text Node Using XmlSearch() And XPath… I could not post any code so I am writing you here. Useful info. Here’s another one for ya. Say your looping through some XML you got via cfhttp that has, at times, *inconsistent data*. See below.
