  • Creating Custom Xmlreader and Xmlwriter Classes
    APPENDIX A ■ ■ ■ Creating Custom XmlReader and XmlWriter Classes In Chapter 3, you learned about the XmlReader and XmlWriter classes. The abstract classes XmlReader and XmlWriter can be used in three ways: •To call the Create() method of the respective classes that returns an instance of the generic XmlReader or XmlWriter classes • To use the concrete classes XmlTextReader and XmlTextWriter provided by the .NET Framework • To create custom classes that inherit from the XmlReader and XmlWriter classes You are already familiar with the first two approaches. In the following sections, you are going to learn how to create custom readers and writers from the abstract base classes XmlReader and XmlWriter. Creating a Custom Implementation of XmlReader In this section, you will create a custom implementation of the XmlReader class. The SqlCommand class provides the ExecuteXmlReader() method that returns an instance of XmlReader to the caller. This works fine if your database is SQL Server, but what if your database is Microsoft Office Access or any other OLEDB-compliant database? Moreover, XML extensions such as the FOR XML clause may not be available for all databases. Does that mean that you cannot retrieve the data and read it by using an XmlReader? Of course not. There is no out-of-the-box solution for this problem, but you can build your own mecha- nism to overcome this limitation, by creating a custom class that inherits from the XmlReader abstract class. You can then override the required properties and methods as per your need. The requirements for the custom XmlReader class are summarized here: • It should accept the database connection string and table name to read.

  • XML for CAP Implementors
    CAP-103 XML for CAP Implementors World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Public Weather Services (PWS) Programme WMO XML for CAP Implementors The title of this a presentation is “XML for CAP Implementors”. This presentation is designed to be part of a series of training sessions that cover various aspects pertaining to CAP-enabled alerting systems. The recommended pre-requisite for this session is “Introducing CAP” (CAP-101) . 1 CAP-103 XML for CAP Implementors CAP Uses XML for Representing Information CAP CAP 103 - XML for CAP Implementors 2 This diagram depicts CAP as a standard form, providing a common way of representing certain information on just about any kind of hazard threat or event. The idea is to get some of that crucial information in the same format, so it is easier for people to process what they need to know. Extensible Markup Language (XML) is the standard mechanism used to represent the information in CAP alerts and in CAP news feeds . So, some familiarity with XML is very important for a CAP implementor. Let’s look at what is in the training session specifically. 2 CAP-103 XML for CAP Implementors Learning Objectives On completion of this session, you should be able to: 1. Explain what is XML and where the definitions of CAP elements are found. 2. Describe how elements contain other elements, such as the CAP headline sub-element of the info element. 3. Explain the basics of creating and validating a CAP alert according to XML syntax and a version schema. 4. Distinguish among the XML for a CAP alert and the XML for an RSS news feed pointing to CAP alerts.

  • Updating Your Powerbuilder Applications for Today's World
    white paper Updating your PowerBuilder® Application for Today’s World By Donald D. Clayton, President, Intertech Consulting, Inc. www.sybase.com TABLe OF CONTENtS 1 Introduction 1 Background 2 A Typical PowerBuilder Upgrade Scenario 2 Techniques Explored 3 Moving Away from Windows Classic Style Controls 5 Incorporating Contemporary Menus and Toolbars 6 Using TreeView DataWindows to Create a Hierarchical View of Data 7 Upgrading to the New, Improved RTF Controls 8 Hierarchical Task Lists for Menus 9 Other Modern UI Techniques 11 Improving on the Use of MDI 11 Beyond MDI – The Windows Presentation Foundation 14 Next Steps for PowerBuilder Developers 14 Conclusion IntrOduCtiON User Interface (UI) standards have evolved over the years and custom-developed applications haven’t kept pace. Many applications developed in the 1990’s now have a dated look and feel. With some minimal effort, applications can be given a fresh look by making a few key User Interface (UI) changes. At stake is no less than your user’s satisfaction with your software. BaCkgrOuNd Most of us don’t remember much about Windows® Version 1 or 2. They were fairly basic windowing systems, and the primary issue was the lack of a multi-threaded, multi-tasking operating system to support a multi-tasking windowing desktop. To compensate for this, Windows developed a queuing mechanism that simulated multi-tasking in a single-tasking OS. Windows really took off with Windows 3.0 in the 1990 timeframe. Still bootstrapped from MS-DOS, the primary user interface mechanism was a series of child windows with icons nested inside them (remember Program Manager, the forerunner to Explorer?) Clicking on an icon in a child window would either open a nested child window or launch a program.
