| Summary |
ASP.NET server controls are very powerful in web application
without a doubt and by combining XML and XSLT with it, we can make web
applications more powerful, easier, more efficient and re-usable. Also, by
using XML and XSLT, the application UI script will look clean and will be
easier to maintain. I hope this will be a great start for those who want to
make their site more dynamic and structured. Enjoy!!

Hi docere,
Glad to know that this code helped you. However, if you look over the "edit-address.aspx" then you will find that I have shown a way how to work with event handler and set it from XSLT. If you work on debug mode, you will see that event is firing and working exactly as we expect from a traditional event handler.
Thanks!

that article covered exactly what i was trying to do! thank you very much, it was a great help!
Still i have the problem that the generated event handler is never fired - it just postback, my generated form is gone and the eventhandler operation is never reached. that is driving me to the borders of sanity, seriously...
anyway, good job

Hi,
This is a very good question. Though VS don't have XSLT design view support, change in xslt is very easy rather than changing design of page dynamically in traditional way. In this technique total design and data will be separate from each other. In the xml, we are just keeping the data as well as some valuable information like validation, data type, caption, etc. But the design template is totally separate from the data template to design independently. And Being template based, XSLT is more resilient to changes in documents than low level DOM and SAX. Also By separating data (XML document) from the presentation (XSLT), it is very easy to change the output format in any time easily without touching the code-behind. In case of repeatating design (like employee paystub design), the XSLT template will be extremely small sized by repeatating calling as it works template based. If designer is quite smarter then they can make the design more dynamic than any other way using this simple technique.
Thanks

With all that markup and inline styling can I ask how a web designer is supposed to design and edit the content if the developer has bundled it into xml files??

i'm familiar with xml data binding in the traditional way. But after reading this article, hopefully I am going to use this technique for the upcoming development in my software career life :D.
Well done !!! Great work.
Thanks you for your nice well commented code and obviously the clear explanation.
