Showing a XmlDocument

[Fernando Moreno]

Hi, this is maybe very easy and there's something I'm sure missing here but I
can't find how to show an Xmldocument object in f.ex. ie without save
document as xml first.
Is this possible?
Thanks

Hi,

Could you let me know what's f.ex? If you need to get the string which
represents the content of the XmlDocument object, just use
XmlDocument.OuterXml property.

Yes, what I want is to show the xmlDoc trought Internet Explorer without
fisically store an XML file. Hope I'm explain myself better now :)

Are you working on a winform project and trying to start an instance of IE
to show the XmlDocument? If so, I think it impossible to do this. Because
IE didn't expose an interface for us to open an in-memory stream. You have
to write it to a file first.

I see, what if I use ActiveX WebBrowser could this work then?

Thanks for your help and time.

Hi,

The IE web browser control cannot do that either, as the Navigate method
only accepts a URL as parameter.

Sometimes it's better to check other newsgroups before writing non-competent
answers...

Here is the code that works this way... It does display xml in WebBrowser
components exactly like MS IE does.

However, you need to have xml.xsl file, that makes XML->HTML transformation.
It's possible to extract this file from IE resources or use google to find
it already in downloadable format.
void ShowXmlInWebBrowser(WebBrowser webBrowser, string xml)
{
XslCompiledTransform t = new XslCompiledTransform();
t.Load("xml.xsl");

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();

StringReader sr = new StringReader(xml);
XmlReader r = XmlReader.Create(sr);

t.Transform(r, null, ms);

ms.Position = 0;

webBrowser.DocumentStream = ms;
}
