i'm using VB.NET.

i'm using this codes to create this XML.

<Employee>
<EmpItem CV="120" PL1="2" PL2="3" /EmpItem>
<EmpItem Cv="2" PL1="6" PL2="4" /EmpItem>
<EmpIten Cv="234" PL1="4" PL"4" /EmpItem>
<DataName>
</Employee>

Codes:

TextBox1.Text = "C:\Program\Emp.mdb"
If File.Exists(TextBox1.Text) Then
            Dim strSQL As String = "Select ItemID,pl11,pl12 from MG10 where ItemID <> 0"
            Dim myConnection As New OleDbConnection(strConn)
            myConnection.Open()
            Dim myCommand As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand(strSQL, myConnection)
            Dim myReader As OleDbDataReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader

            Dim myXWriter As XmlTextWriter
            Dim myWriter As StreamWriter
            Dim myStream As MemoryStream
            myStream = New MemoryStream

            myXWriter = New XmlTextWriter(myStream, Encoding.UTF8)
            myXWriter.Formatting = Formatting.Indented
            myXWriter.Indentation = 2

            myXWriter.WriteStartDocument()
            myXWriter.WriteStartElement("Employee")

           While myReader.Read
                myXWriter.WriteStartElement("Item")
                myXWriter.WriteAttributeString("CV", myReader(0))
                myXWriter.WriteAttributeString("PL1", myReader(1))
               myXWriter.WriteAttributeString("PL2", myReader(2))
                myXWriter.WriteEndElement()
            End While

            myXWriter.WriteFullEndElement()
            myXWriter.WriteFullEndElement()
            myXWriter.WriteEndDocument()
            myXWriter.Flush()

           myStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin)

            Dim strConfig2 As String = New StreamReader(myStream).ReadToEnd()
            myWriter = File.CreateText("C:\Example.xml")
            myWriter.WriteLine(strConfig2)
            myWriter.Close()
        End If



anyway is there to create an XML like this...

<Employee>
<EmpRange min="0" max="99">
<EmpItem Cv="2" PL1="6" PL2="4">
</EmpRange>
<EmpRange min="100" max="199">
<EmpItem CV="120" PL1="2" PL2="3">
</EmpRange>
<EmpRange min="200" max="299">
<EmpIten Cv="234" PL1="4" PL"4">
<EmpRange>
<DataName>
</Employee>


according to the CV values can i add the EmpItems in corresponding Range. and the CV values will be random numbers. so if CV value is 34 then it should be under <EmpRange min="0" max="99">. likewise can we create an XML file to add EmpItems according to the range the CV value.

if you have any idea how to create this please help me... if you can provide any help then it will be a great help for me....

thanks in advanace.

Is this a XSLT problem? If not its in the wrong forum.

Why not just sort your sql, and then check the current value you to see if you need to open a new EmpRange element (and close the old one)?

Well it's not in the XSLT forum and it doesn't mention XSLT so that seems okay to me :)
You seem to have three options, none of which are mutually exclusive:

• Improve the SQL to get it nearer to what you need in the first place as Sam suggested
• Use a DataSet/DataTable instead of a reader, you can sort the data after it comes from the database and again get it to a grouped format as in option one
• Apply a transform after the initial creation, this is probably a last resort but would allow grouping, easily done with XSLT 2.0

If none of these are possible then state why and can you clarify that there will normally be more than one EmpItem in each EmpRange?

in my database, i have more than 50-60 tables. and i need to check each of thoses 50-60 tables and create XML. and sometimes same items were repeating in different tables. so i dont need to dupicate items in XML. so one i get all the values from database only i can sort or Group according to the range.

and in each EmpRange we have lots of empitems and it varies the count. and inside XML file its more than 1000 EmpItems.

so now i'm taking all the values from database to a MemoryStream. so wheteher i can sort the values that are in MemoryStream. and create the XML in new formate....

Sounds like you should be writing some SQL to extract the data you actually want, rather than extracting everything into XML and then sorting it out later. SQL has some quite good facilities for selecting data and eliminating duplicates, if I remember right from 20 years ago...

Sorry, my mistake, I had my XSLT hat on and got the forums confused.

Try simply changing the SQL to read something like "Select ItemID,pl11,pl12 from MG10 where ItemID <> 0 ORDER BY ItemID"

Then your loop code might look like this:

I haven't tested this code, but it looks right :)
