Hi. Until my latest project I have been a php MySQl man - and not touched xml. I have had a fair indoctrination with
Imar Spaanjars Beginning ASP.Net 3.5 in C# and VB. I chose to go the
VB route. I freely confess I still have a lot to learn.
I have a specific need to handle xml and so got stuck into this book's chapter 10.
In Visual Web Developer 2008 Express edition, I ran listing 10-10_app and all was well. I then tried to expand Response.Write to include the book title associated with each author.
So, I modified Author.
vb to read:
Code:
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Xml.Serialization
<XmlRoot(ElementName:="title", _
Namespace:="http://example.books.com")> Public Class Title
<XmlElement(ElementName:="title")> Public Title As String
End Class
<XmlRoot(ElementName:="author", _
Namespace:="http://example.books.com")> Public Class Author
<XmlElement(ElementName:="first-name")> Public FirstName As String
<XmlElement(ElementName:="last-name")> Public LastName As String
End Class
And changed Default.aspx.
vb to read
Code:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Xml
Imports System.Xml.Schema
Imports System.Xml.Serialization
Partial Class _Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles Me.Load
'Create factory early
Dim factory As New XmlSerializerFactory
Dim settings As New XmlReaderSettings()
Dim nt As New NameTable()
Dim book As Object = nt.Add("book")
Dim title As Object = nt.Add("title")
Dim price As Object = nt.Add("price")
Dim author As Object = nt.Add("author")
settings.NameTable = nt
Dim booksSchemaFile As String = Path.Combine(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath, "books.xsd")
settings.Schemas.Add(Nothing, XmlReader.Create(booksSchemaFile))
settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema
settings.ValidationFlags = XmlSchemaValidationFlags.ReportValidationWarnings
AddHandler settings.ValidationEventHandler, _
AddressOf settings_ValidationEventHandler
settings.IgnoreWhitespace = True
settings.IgnoreComments = True
Dim booksFile As String = _
Path.Combine(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath, "books.xml")
Using reader As XmlReader = XmlReader.Create(booksFile, settings)
While (reader.Read())
If (reader.NodeType = XmlNodeType.Element And author.Equals(reader.LocalName)) Then
'Then use the factory to create and cache serializers
Dim xs1 As XmlSerializer = factory.CreateSerializer(GetType(Title))
Dim a1 As Title = CType(xs1.Deserialize(reader), Title)
Response.Write(String.Format("Title, "))
Dim xs2 As XmlSerializer = factory.CreateSerializer(GetType(Author))
Dim a2 As Author = CType(xs2.Deserialize(reader.ReadSubtree), Author)
Response.Write(String.Format("Author: {1}, {0}<BR/>", _
a2.FirstName, a2.LastName))
End If
End While
End Using
End Sub
Sub settings_ValidationEventHandler(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Xml.Schema.ValidationEventArgs)
Response.Write(e.Message)
End Sub
End Class
No error showed in VWD, so I ran Default.aspx in my browser. The result was the following error:
Quote:

What went wrong? What should I have written?
Chapter 10, listing 10-10-app
