These are the steps I had in mind: User clicks on "Generate XML" button App generates XML App validates XML A report containing errors is generated & displayed to user User goes through errors report, correct their data, then click on "Generate XML" again.

There's no reason. That's something I need to consider. These are the steps I had in mind: User clicks on "Generate XML" button App generates XML App validates XML A report containing errors is generated & displayed to user User goes through errors report, correct their data, then click on "Generate XML" again.

I would like to validate the XML in the generating app but not against an XSD schema. So my app generates the XML & as a last step I would like to validate the XML against a list of rules, e.g. A book must have an author. A book price cannot exceed $100 A book publisher must exist in a pre-defined list. A book ISBN must be unique .... Then generate a report at the end of validation which lists all errors found. Thanks.

XML validation. I have an Object Pascal application which generates XML similar to this one: <book> <name>Anna Karenina</name> <author>Leo Tolstoy</author> <publisher>The Russian Messenger</publisher> <price>$16.79</price> </book> Which is the best way to add code which validates the above XML (in the generating app) ? I would like to make sure that: A book must have an author. A book price cannot exceed $100 TIA

I have a DBEdit linked to a integer-field in a table & everything works fine but now I'd like to allow user to enter many integers separated by commas in the DBEdit. So when user types 1,2,3 three records are inserted in the table & without the posting failing. How can I achieve this ? TIA

Hi, I'm using a procedure which uses a TLabel parameter & sets the caption of the label: prcedure GetString(param1: string; param2:string; myLabel: TLabel); Begin myLabel.caption := GetDescription() End Everything works fine & I don't want to break it as it's called from different places. Now I'd like to be able to sometimes pass it TMemo and display multiple lines in the TMemo component: myMemo.lines.Add(GetDescription()); I'd like to be able to say if component is TLabel then do this but if it's TMemo then do that. TIA
