This code works:
XmlNode Key = Site.SelectSingleNode(PathString, manager);
But what I really want is essentially:
string desiredValue="Ribeye";
XmlNode Key = Site.SelectSingleNode(PathString[Value=desiredValue], manager);
desiredValue is NOT an attribute, and the string variable will be changing between uses. So if my tag was FavoriteSteak, the XML line would be:
<FavoriteSteak>Ribeye</FavoriteSteak>
...and I want the SelectSingleNode call to return an instance of FavoriteSteak that equaled "Ribeye".
How do I write the filter?
Thanks to #Andersson for the inspiration. The resulting code looks like:
var FilterString = String.Format("[text()='{0}']", desiredValue);
XmlNode Key = Site.SelectSingleNode(KeyPath+FilterString, manager);

I'm using a interface interceptor to cache all methods that starts with "Get" but i can't figure out how to generate a unique cache key for every unknown parameter it can be anything and using GetHashCode is not an option as i can't be 100% sure that they have overridden the GetHashCode.
some thoughts was someting in the line of How can I create a unique hashcode for a JObject?
where JSON is used for a JObject i was thinking on JSON serialize every parameter then get the hash code like explained in the link above:
var obj = JToken.Parse(jsonString);
var comparer = new JTokenEqualityComparer();
var hashCode = comparer.GetHashCode(obj);
However i think this will be a performence hit so how can this be solved ?
The code i have so far is this but it wont handle the complex type situation where .ToString won't generate the raw value type like int, string etc.
private string CreateCacheKey(IInvocation invocation)
{
string className = invocation.TargetType.FullName;
string methodName = invocation.Method.Name;
var builder = new StringBuilder(100);
builder.Append(className);
builder.Append(".");
builder.Append(methodName);
for (int i = 0; i < invocation.Arguments.Length; i++)
{
var argument = invocation.Arguments[i];
var argumentValue = invocation.GetArgumentValue(i);
builder.Append("_");
builder.Append(argument);
if (argument != argumentValue)
{
builder.Append(argumentValue);
}
}
return string.Format("{0}-{1}", this.provider.CacheKey, builder);
}
I ended up using GetHashCode as it is the only viable solution if thay dont override the method it will not cache.
I have a simple Scala class called Case
case class Case(
#(Id#field) var id: String,
var state: CaseState = new OpenCaseState,
var notes: List[CaseNote] = new ArrayList(),
var assignedGroups:Set[String] = new HashSet(),
var aclTemplateIds: Set[String] = new HashSet()
) extends Serializable { }
I created an instance of this class called a_case, setting id as 123. I am trying to get the value of the id attribute. I tried this
var parser: ExpressionParser = new SpelExpressionParser
var context: EvaluationContext = new StandardEvaluationContext(a_case)
var extractedId = parser.parseExpression("'id'").getValue(context).asInstanceOf[String]
All I get is "id" in my extractedId variable. When I try to parse "id" without the single quotes, I get an exception saying the property id is not found in Case. Am I missing something here or is this a Scala issue?
SpEL can do that for you if your id has getter.
I'm not well with Scala, but:
BeanProperty
You can annotate vals and vars with the #BeanProperty annotation. This generates getters/setters that look like POJO getter/setter definitions. If you want the isFoo variant, use the BooleanBeanProperty annotation. The ugly foo$_eq becomes
setFoo("newfoo");
getFoo();

I have seen this question asked, but have not found answers that work so I am asking it again.
I have a restful web service with a POST method that returns a serialized List.
<ArrayOfstring xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays">
<string>QoL5vA8OKgydWIn%2fdWiu70nobBrJo4N9iXeHmtM7Aj4%3d</string>
<string>vxHyJiSSSvDSZWXOdcfl5FMQC97xxGEWDO8Zy8Qp3X5CwADUbEE8ifACQHR1n7uamEaIUbf85ZuBDB8FFCNY2tJAMJ2jNw09SqGVTpMU5uI06DLtuYnJqsPIF735NOhlvRhBLPnpp62DFMCVsDNHy55UBF3Ggi06ZWTiJ8LTYIf3FYiFLPpXLZ1wWeE5chAWQGfz7zDYJa1OgSZ</string>
<string>OqGAT7Yqe6DfyVD29BeIXFyGtabVCloaC9FA1Fp20JkJ9T17ZzyqhnGxwWda7FqqyJUM8YK9OdcOCgTYrl4JxalECdtJm75TdSG8IAPQlFHp6Gidg4EwZaO9FKahlYMm5JrFpxTmLrdLgMAkYEV7gIR6zIyIByAGwYYDDwH3QCHrym3CuueRnFWAHCJu1LJbx0zRtt7g3yEaTiJ</string>
</ArrayOfstring>
The code performing the call is as follows below.
XDocument xDocResponse = RestPOSTToXDocument(szBaseUri, szInput);
string szNamespace = xDocResponse.Root.Name.Namespace.ToString();
IXmlUtils utility = new XmlUtils();
List<string> lst = utility.DeserializeList<string>(xDocResponse, szNamespace);
I have also attempted a different version of the call as shown below.
List<List<string>> lst = utility.DeserializeList<List<string>>(xDocResponse, szNamespace);
Both versions of the calls generate the error provided below.
An exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Xml.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: There is an error in XML document (0, 0).
My Deserialize method is provided below.
public List<T> DeserializeList<T>(XDocument doc, string szNamespace)
{
List<T> result = null;
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<T>), szNamespace);
using (System.Xml.XmlReader reader = doc.CreateReader())
{
result = (List<T>)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
}
return result;
}
The XML within the XDocument is valid, so I do not understand why this error is being generated. Also, even if I attempt to get the elements via navigation in the XDocument, it does not work. If I look at the doc.Root.value, it appears that all of the strings are concatenated together into a single string.
Does anyone have any information on how I may deserialize this XDocument into a List?
Thanks to the assistance of mellamokb, I found the problem. When my List is serialized, it is serialized into an ArrayOfstring. If I take the XML and replace ArrayOfstring with ArrayOfString, the deserialization works.
This does not make much sense. I would welcome an explanation of why this is necessary though it may have something to do with String vs string.
Essentially, I had to do the following:
string szXml = xDocResponse.ToString();
int nEndRoot = szXml.IndexOf(">");
szXml = szXml.Replace("ArrayOfstring", "ArrayOfString");
xDocResponse = utility.LoadXDocument(szXml);
string szNamespace = xDocResponse.Root.Name.Namespace.ToString();
List<string> lst = utility.DeserializeList<string>(xDocResponse, szNamespace);
Simply get the response stream and deserealize into string array and store it to List
Code Snippet:
List<string> listNew=new List<string>();
using (Stream answer = webResponse.GetResponseStream())
{
DataContractSerializer xmlSer = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(string[]));
var stringArr= (string[])xmlSer.ReadObject(answer);
foreach (string item in GenreList)
{
listNew.Add(item);
}
}
I am building a complex WFFM user control that extends BaseUserControl. This control has multiple fields that get prepopulated based on some business logic. One of the fields is supposed to be a drop down which shows values from a series of Sitecore items. Here is the definition of my ListField property:
private string myListField;
[VisualProperty("My List Field:", 100),
VisualCategory("Appearance"), VisualFieldType(typeof(ListField))]
public string MyListField{
get { return myListField; }
set { myListField= value; }
}
When I debug this, the content of titleFieldList is a string that contains the following XML in URL encoded format:
%3Cquery%20t%3D%22root%22%20vf%3D%22__ID%22%20tf%3D%22Value%22%3E%3Cvalue%3E%7B814FC177-2750-48D6-B7B7-4EE87012C637%7D%3C%2Fvalue%3E%3C%2Fquery%3E
which, decode, is:
<query t="root" vf="__ID" tf="Value">
<value>{814FC177-2750-48D6-B7B7-4EE87012C637}</value>
</query>
I understand the meaning of this XML. It says that all the children of the item whose ID is that Guid are supposed to be used to populate my list, using the template field "__ID" for the value and the template field "value" for the text.
Can someone help me understand what am I supposed to do to bind an asp:DropDownList to this? Is this a particular sitecore object that has been serialized and encoded?
Is there an sc:control that can handle this?
Thanks!
** EDIT **
So I tried the following piece of code
string encodedQuery = TitleFieldList;
string query = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(encodedQuery);
XDocument xmlQuery = XDocument.Parse(query);
if (xmlQuery.Element("query") != null)
{
Dictionary<string, string> nodesDictionary = new Dictionary<string, string>();
string root = xmlQuery.Element("query").Element("value").Value;
string value = xmlQuery.Element("query").Attribute("vf").Value;
string text = xmlQuery.Element("query").Attribute("tf").Value;
Item rootItem = SitecoreUtility.GetItemWithoutSecurity(new ID(root));
ChildList childList = rootItem.GetChildren();
foreach (Item child in childList)
{
string theValue = (value == "__ID") ? child.ID.ToString() : child.Fields[value].ToString();
string theText = child.Fields[text].ToString();
nodesDictionary.Add(theText, theValue);
}
titleDropDownList.DataSource = nodesDictionary;
titleDropDownList.DataTextField = "key";
titleDropDownList.DataValueField = "value";
titleDropDownList.DataBind();
}
and it works. The dropdownlist is populated with the correct data coming from the fields that were selected in the editor. I just can't believe that there is no easier way to do this. Plus how am I supposed to honor the MultipleSelectedValueField and the EmptyChoiceField if present?
Try to change the return type of your property and add attribute TypeConverter. The type specified in TypeConverter is responsible for converting raw string value to a property's return type.
ListItemCollectionConverter - is a converter provided by WFFM
[VisualProperty("My List Field:", 100)]
[VisualCategory("Appearance")]
[VisualFieldType(typeof(ListField))]
[TypeConverter(typeof(Sitecore.Form.Web.UI.Controls.ListItemCollectionConverter.ListItemCollectionConverter))]
public Sitecore.Form.Web.UI.Controls.ListItemCollection MyListField{
get { return myListField; }
set { myListField= value; }
}
I have a LinqToXML expression where I am trying to select distinct names based on similar attributes. The code is working great and I've put it below:
var q = xmlDoc.Element("AscentCaptureSetup").Element("FieldTypes")
.Descendants("FieldType")
.Select(c => new { width = c.Attribute("Width").Value,
script = c.Attribute("ScriptName").Value,
sqlType = c.Attribute("SqlType").Value,
enableValues = c.Attribute("EnableValues").Value,
scale = c.Attribute("Scale").Value,
forceMatch = c.Attribute("ForceMatch").Value,
forceMatchCaseSensitive = c.Attribute("ForceMatchCaseSensitive").Value,
sortAlphabetically = c.Attribute("SortAlphabetically").Value,
})
.Distinct();
The problem arises since not all the attributes are required, and if one of them is omitted, for example sortAlphabetically, I get an Object not Referenced error. Makes sense, but it there a way to alter the query to only use assign the new values if the attribute actually exists? (Thereby bypassing any null pointer errors)
Instead of using the Value property (which will blow up on a null reference), simply cast the XAttribute to string - you'll either get the value, or a null reference if the XAttribute reference is null. (XElement works the same way, and this applies to all conversions to nullable types.)
So you'd have:
.Select(c => new {
width = (string) c.Attribute("Width"),
script = (string) c.Attribute("ScriptName"),
sqlType = (string) c.Attribute("SqlType"),
enableValues = (string) c.Attribute("EnableValues"),
scale = (string) c.Attribute("Scale"),
forceMatch = (string) c.Attribute("ForceMatch"),
forceMatchCaseSensitive = (string) c.Attribute("ForceMatchCaseSensitive"),
sortAlphabetically = (string) c.Attribute("SortAlphabetically"),
})
Some of those attributes sound like they should actually be cast to int? or bool?, mind you...
