This is part 2 of my series for ASP.NET AJAX and JQuery comparison. You can read part 1 here.

XML to DataTable with LINQ

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 17:30:19 GMT

Easy way to get your XML into a DataTable. Now I might just be blind, or incredibly incapable at searching google or reading my LINQ books (very possible) but I hadn't found a simple way to get a 2-level XML document into a DataTable for use in a GridView or just simple DataTable manipulation utilizing LINQ (I assume this is because DTs are 2 dimensional, and XML files can be all sorts of mash-ups of information). Since LINQ is so powerful, I assumed it wouldn't be all that difficult, turns out I was right, it's pretty easy.

OpenXmlDiff.Exe: Utility to Find Differences Between Two Open XML Docs

Sat, 14 Jun 2008 11:50:59 GMT

This blog post introduces a small command line utility (OpenXmlDiff.Exe, code attached to this page) that compares two Open XML documents and produces a textual report of the differences in markup between them. This utility was born out of sheer frustration. I've been needing this utility for months. I've always accomplished my goals without it, but it would have been a time-saver several times in the past. I've heard rumors of this existing elsewhere, but it has always eluded me. Using this utility, we can create two documents with a very small difference between them, and see the exact changes that the difference caused. Sometimes this alone is enough to explain the markup. But if further explanation is necessary, the diff makes it easy to find the relevant places in the Open XML specification. For our purposes, the currently published Ecma 376 specification works just fine.
