New To Xml

[Guest Bank Transactions2]

Hello,

 

Is there more information on XML formatting?

 

When I try to follow the example I assume the format is:

 

<OutDialEntry>

<PhoneNumber>5553423</PhoneNumber>

<OnAnswer>d:\scripts\alarm.vgs</OnAnswer>

</OutDialEntry>

<OutDialEntry>

<PhoneNumber>5553423</PhoneNumber>

<OnAnswer>d:\scripts\alarm.vgs</OnAnswer>

</OutDialEntry>

 

But that is an invalid format, how do we feed bulk entries into the XML?

 

Regards,

I know that my sample looks right based on your example, and works in your program.

 

However, .net will not write that as an xml format because it will not allow the duplicate <OutDialEntry> for each number.

 

Will it work if it is nested?

 

Like:

 

<OutDialEntry>

<PhoneNumber>5553423</PhoneNumber>

<OnAnswer>d:\scripts\alarm.vgs</OnAnswer>

<OutDialEntry>

<PhoneNumber>5553423</PhoneNumber>

<OnAnswer>d:\scripts\alarm.vgs</OnAnswer>

</OutDialEntry>

</OutDialEntry>

However, .net will not write that as an xml format because it will not allow the duplicate <OutDialEntry> for each number.

 

Can I not use the .net xml tools because it is not in a standard xml format? Or am I missing some switch that ignores the built in xml formatting rules?

 

Will it work if it is nested?

 

Like:

 

<OutDialEntry 0>

<PhoneNumber>5553423</PhoneNumber>

<OnAnswer>d:\scripts\alarm.vgs</OnAnswer>

<OutDialEntry 1>

<PhoneNumber>5553423</PhoneNumber>

<OnAnswer>d:\scripts\alarm.vgs</OnAnswer>

<OutDialEntry 2>

<PhoneNumber>5553423</PhoneNumber>

<OnAnswer>d:\scripts\alarm.vgs</OnAnswer>

</OutDialEntry>

</OutDialEntry>

</OutDialEntry>

 

This seems to be the only way .net will allow me to write this file using OutputXMLWriter. However, it is not very readable when it gets into the thousands.

 

What is the deal with the OutputXMLWriter.WriteStartElement("OutDialEntry"), is this not a valid way to write the xml that way you want to use it?

 

I cannot get it to just do (with or without the number appended).:

 

<OutDialEntry 0>

<PhoneNumber>5553423</PhoneNumber>

<OnAnswer>d:\scripts\alarm.vgs</OnAnswer>

</OutDialEntry>

<OutDialEntry 1>

<PhoneNumber>5553423</PhoneNumber>

<OnAnswer>d:\scripts\alarm.vgs</OnAnswer>

</OutDialEntry>

<OutDialEntry 2>

<PhoneNumber>5553423</PhoneNumber>

<OnAnswer>d:\scripts\alarm.vgs</OnAnswer>

</OutDialEntry>

 

Do I have to just try writing the document as a text file and not an xml file using the xml tools?

Will it work if it is nested?

No. The nesting approach is used for escalation calls. It they are unrelated calls then its inappropriate for them to be nested within each other.

If you cannot get the OutputXMLWriter to output data in format expected by VoiceGuide then it may be easiest to just write the document as a text file. The formatting is not that complex after all.
