Introduction

For demonstration purposes, we will create a simple search engine in which XSLT is used to iterate through the XML file (data retrieved from the database) to display the data based on the user entered criteria. It consists of user information, such as First Name, Last Name, Email, etc. Also we will give the user the ability to search in a specified category and in which order the data should be displayed. This option is hidden by default; a button is used to allow the user to specify more options to his or her search.

Throughout this article we have to complete the following steps.

·         Create an XML document containing users' information.

·         Create an XSL file which will navigate through the XML document.

·         Write code behind to transform the XML into HTML.

Hi! We need to create a HTML preview for translation of a complicated catalog. The source is xml, we even have a .xsl. But the .xsl does not display the pictures (which we also have). The xml contains the product ids, the picture file names correspond to the product id. Is there a way to map the product ids to the file names and display the pictures within the loop?

Title: Embedding XML/XSL source

It is possible to embed the xml/xsl sources with in the executable itself. Imagine in your particular example that SearchEngine.Xsl and SearchEngine.xml were propriatary. Could you somehow embed these files as .NET resources or something such that the ultimate user of the .NET executable could not read the content of the xml/xsl files?

Hi Haisaam,

This article is very good but somehow not working for me as I made small changes. I am loading this XSL and XML file directly in HTML using javascript. I do not get any search results.

If you can send me email where I can attach my XSL and HTML files.

It would be very helpful for me.

Thanks in advance

Kind Regards

Hi Abdul Malak,

I have a question maybe you can help,

Is it possible to read from an HTML form (like the ones that you have on the internet to register to forums, etc) and yo save it into a xml file with XSLT by clicking on a button 'save'?

many thanks for your help !
