XML, DTD, .C#Net

[Hiren Mistry]

Hi,
I need to read in a DTD from a file that is provided by a third
party. From the DOM created from this DTD I need to create a GUI which
will allow me to enter information into text boxes to insert into the
XML. For Example:

Start with:

(DTD)
<!ELEMENT cdlib (cd+)>

<!ELEMENT cd (artist+, title+, format?, description?)>
<!ELEMENT artist (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT title (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT format (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT description (#PCDATA)>

Next Step is:

(GUI)
------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
cdlib
------------------------------------------
cd + -
------------------------------------------
_______________ _________
Artist |AnArtist______ __________| + -
_______________ _________
Title |ATitle________ __________| + -
_______________ _________
Format |AFormat_______ __________| -
_______________ _________
Description |ADescription__ __________| -

------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------

Next Step is:

(XML)

<cdlib>

   <cd>
   <artist>AnArtist</artist>
   <title>ATitle</title>
   <format>AFormat></format>
   <description>ADescription</description>
   </cd>

</cdlib>

I need to develop this Application in C#.Net.
As you see, the idea is to have an application that is fully dynamic. I have
found some XML parsing components, but they don't seem to allow you to
parse a DTD to create anything but a DOM Document Type. From here I am
unsure what the next step should be. I also here that the DTD section
of the DOM is likely to change greatly in level 3. Is the project just
a pipe dream :)? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I am adding a link then forward to C# forum, I think you should start by communication with the your files then go from there. Your GUI should be your starting pointing:

Please write if you need additional information.

Good luck with project:-)
