Hi, For the xsd file : I need to indicate that a value (string value) must take several specific value (I specify this value, let say the value must be one of this : AB, AC, AD, AE). I made the xsd file this the help of POWER ASM (from sysbase). The file is fully recognized by the XML Mapper of Delphi 7. But apparently the Data Packet generate buy the XML Mapper didn't make use of this constraint. In other words, It check if the value is 2 characters long, but It didn't check if the value is one of allowed... If anyone have some information about this. Thanks to all David M.

Quote: See http://www.drbob42.com/examines/examin50.htm (the last section covers XSLT on .NET, in case you need that). That XML and XSL code strikes me as major overkill; It looks very obtuse compared to http://xmlfiles.com/xsl/xsl_transformation.asp ! The XML example used there: <CD> <TITLE>Empire Burlesque</TITLE> <ARTIST>Bob Dylan</ARTIST> <COUNTRY>USA</COUNTRY> <COMPANY>Columbia</COMPANY> <PRICE>10.90</PRICE> <YEAR>1985</YEAR> </CD> Is humanly readable IMO. It is extremely easy to write XSL code for it as well. I tried to follow your example, but couldn't find out how your XSL is able to extract e.g. only the name field from: <clinic name="Delphi 8 for .NET" date="27 May 2004"/> You have some neat tricks on that page, that's for sure, but I can't shake the feeling that it is unnecessary complex. BTW: That doesn't look like the proper way of encoding a date... <cough> -- Rune, http://runesbike.com/ Back to top Bryce K. Nielsen Guest Posted: Wed Mar 01, 2006 8:03 am    Post subject: Re: XML vs. INI file As noted, on the surface it's about the same. There are good libraries for reading/writing XML and INI files. If you're using DotNet, then the XMLReader is probably faster than the INI for retrieving raw data. SAX would be the same. Personally, I prefer XML files, since they are the most extensible. If for some reason, you want your "ini" file used in other applications, like say in a website, or cross-platform (i.e. Kylix) then XML is a much better means of storing the data. So, forward thinking, XML would be the way to go. Bryce K. Nielsen SysOnyx, Inc.

So, forward thinking, XML would be the way to go. On the other hand, if you expect users will ever want to muck around with your config files, stick with INI, because they're more resilient. A single misplaced character in an XML file may make the whole thing unusable. This depends on the parser, but most barf on a slightest syntax error. It's the correct behavior vis-a-vis XML specification, but I have no idea how it squares with the supposed "human-friendliness" of the format. If you're going to throw the whole thing away on a single unexpected byte, you might as well use a binary format which will be faster to load and no-one will touch it with Notepad I'm only saying this because I do have "undocumented" configuration options in my applications, and users like to tweak them. They're unlikely to break an INI file, but XML is really, really fragile in such a context. ..marek -- No ads, no nags freeware: http://www.tranglos.com ** Google Sibel Edmonds ** WTF, I thought, because I'm apt to think in TLAs. -- Julian Bucknall Back to top Kevin Frisk Guest Posted: Tue Oct 31, 2006 10:22 pm    Post subject: RE: Delphi and XSL-FO Quote: Hi all I'm using the LibXML2 / LibXSLT to convert XML + XSL documents in HTML, and I'm full satisfied. Now, I would to use XSL-FO to produce reports in PDF format. I'd like to know if there are some library that do this task, that I can use from Delphi. If it is freeware or opensource it's better, but not necessary. I know that there are a lot of library and tools for Linux (xmlroff) or Java (Apache FOP), but I need something in Windows.

Would XML work faster than using an ini file to write and retrieve the data? Some things to consider... 1. I will be adding data to the files on a regular basis. 2. I will need to access the written data (some or all). Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
