Seeking XML Editor for "Users"

jwalton

I have a web site (for a client) where I am now using a considerable
number of XML files. Previously the files were updated off-line, and FTPd
to make live.

I now need to allow "user editors" to edit the XML data. These users are
primarily "business knowledge" experts; intelligent but not necessarily IT
literate. I need to provide a simple XML editor to allow them (e.g.) to
edit a simplified RDF style metadata base (actually a modified PRISM
syntax). Enforced validation (e.g. against a DTD) would be beneficial.

The site support asp.net, so an application "embedded" within an asp.net
shell would appear to be one solution. Any suggestion for such tools, or
services please, would be appreciated.

Best Regards, John Walton

I haven't looked around for anything web based, but yo should look into Word
2003, InfoPath 2003 and various other XML based forms client apps (Adobe has
one and there are others, too).

Word does make for a pretty smart XML editor at this point. You can also
embed .NET code to upload the XML files for the user etc. InfoPath presents
forms based UIs that can interact with Web services.

I'd be interested to hear what you find.

How get "log on locally" users and groups programatically?

by: Jonathan Trevor | last post by:

Hi, Spent nearly 8 hours googling and trying code on this yesterday without much success. I'd like to write a .NET application (using .NET primitives, older Win32 calls, or WMI etc) to work out which users can log onto a machine the application is running on. The platforms I'd like to support are NT/2000/XP - although 98 would be good too. It looks like for 2000 and XP OS' the answer is listed in the "Local Security Policy" control...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
