Dare argues that my Xml Streaming Events API can’t support queries like the following:

XSE Initial Release
After the introduction, some use cases and other stuff that can be done with it, I’ve finally uploaded the NMatrix.Xml project containing XSE (I will unify Schematron here later). You can download it from the ASPNET2 incubator: .NET 1.x version .NET Whidbey version [Read More] -
XPath vs pseudo-XPath
Oleg commented on my XSE (Xml Streaming Events) implementation. He has a nice code snipped with something called an XmlUpdater. Really cool. I’d like to see that code! [Read More] -
XPath queries without namespace: XSE to the rescue
Dare has posted about issues with XPath and namespaces in documents. I’m by no means encouraging this, but if you don’t care about namespaces, here’s a solution for you. [Read More] -
Xml Streaming Events: simple streaming Xml handing (and changing) at work.
I presented XSE (Xml Streaming Events) in a previous post. In this post I will show some examples of what can be acomplished with it in a streaming (therefore performant) way. [Read More] -
ForwardXPathNavigator vs XSE
Oleg has posted his code now too. I guess this way we’re encouraging mutually to release code often ;). I must defend: [Read More] -
While we wait for Whidbey visualizers...
I’m as excited as almost everybody else with the ability to write custom visualizers in managed code, so that at debug-time I have a better experience and interaction with variables and their data. However, there’re a couple things you can do right now to improve the debugging experience. Here’s my favorite list of “tips”: [Read More] -
Calendar buggy styles, and the OOP fix!
VGA found a recurrent problem most developers and users of the MS Calendar control seem to have, namely, its poor integration with CSS styles. Being an OOP fan, I clearly see an easy way to solve this problem. Inherit Calendar and change its behavior! That’s the cool thing about .NET and the new ASP.NET. It’s all too easy: [Read More] -
RssBandit, XML rendering and <xmp> element
For those showing XML in a post, you surely know how annoying it is to be forced to convert all the tags to the corresponding escaped sequence in order to get it properly rendered. That is, change the < and > characters. There’s a cool element, [](http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/1998/htmlguide/tags4.html#1424741), which allows arbitrary markup and tells the browser to show it as-is, without any processing. It's a kind of <pre> but better because you don't have to escape reserved characters. [Read More] -
Damn!!! I broke the whole thing!!! :S
I’m the one to blame for breaking the site. Sorry guys! Inadvertently, I placed an XML element on the title, and it broke everything. What’s more, I couldn’t even delete the post afterwards because the Admin UI was broken too. I had to dump the Admin page to disk, fix the problem by hand, reload it and finally delete the post. Sorry!!!! [Read More]
