Interested in XSLT?

  • Artykuł

So I'm back to doing some XSLT work now. I did quite a bit during my work at HP and absolutely love it (don't ask me why). Since I've spent so much time working with it, I've learned a few tips and tricks not covered in a lot of books. So, is there any interest from the people on the intertubes concerning XSLT? If so, comment here or email me and if enough interest develops, I'll get going on it. Or, here's a list of other things I can post about:

  • Transforming multiple XML documents at a time with XSLT
    • Quick code snippet would be a localization pattern with XSLT that will look in 1 XML file for an element and if it can't find it will fallback to a different file for the string
  • .NET within Windows Sidebar
    • I've posted my .NET gadget creator which includes my solution for unloading assemblies from the Sidebar without having to stop the sidebar. However, I haven't gone into detail about how I do it nor have I posted code. Any interest in seeing this?
  • Webcam
    • Any interest in any more webcam stuff? Want me to update it with bugs people have mentioned (ability to select webcam for instance)
  • COM stuff
    • Yes, I still use it. I'm sure I have some code laying around that I can blog about.
  • Game programming
    • I have a pretty cool web based Ajax game I tinker with now and then. I posted 1 entry about it. I can continue with more if any interest. The dynamic server side image generation (which is streamed to the client instead of being placed in a file on the server) would be a good one.
  • A good way to prevent people from downloading images from your web page (still can take a screenshot but this solution is still cool). Related to the above entry.
  • Anything else that I've blogged about that you want more info on?

    Actually no on the localization fallback system. As I said in the title I'm doing a little XSLT work so it's basically take an XML file (in my case a custom RSS feed) and generate some HTML from it. I also interact with some client code (can't go into details). In a nutshell, I have a secondary file that acts as a fallback resource. So if the author that is creating the RSS file forgets or doesn't need a certain element within the RSS (since we have some custom namespace elements in the feed), the XSLT will grab the default from the fallback resource XML file. Probably easier to just post some XSLT to demonstrate. It's cool stuff but it's only something you would use during a document tranformation (though it can easily be adapted to create a localization system that uses resx during the pre-build step).
