The idea's are awesome thank you very much. Here are some answers:
Loading the XML data into a Dataset does not make a difference. And would add more memory overhead to the situation, also the type of data that I have I would have to create a relational dataset with datatables and relations between the datatables at run time. I tried this and had it working but was extremely complex and made the application run quite abit slower. <You Wrote> What happens when you split up the XML file to Schemadata Classes Attributes </You Wrote> Well that might work but still, my idea for creating the one big XML file is that if someone wants to use the XML file in their own application its all in one and "easy" to work with... <You Wrote>---- Have you tried submitting your xsl file to a xsl mailing list to check for inefficiency's ? ---- </You Wrote> Which Mailing list? Maybe I didn't explain my situation correctly. What happens is if I just use the XSL to do HTML formatting I do not get much perf hits and everything is quite alright, as soon as I start doing referencing to the .js file to allow Collapsing and Expanding using a image to the table it becomes a nightmare to work with. For some reason the .JS file when included in the XSL (see the download - the download has all the files needed to diagnose this problem) creates the perf nightmare. When I remove the JS reference I have a perfectly working example. Remembering that I have on average of 200 classes and 1500 attributes I would need this type of formatting (Collapsing and Expanding. I would also like to add later a search section to the HTML using js. But for now As soon as I add any JS is dies. What I am trying to achieve is that for all the Classes and for all the Attributes have a collapsible and Expandable option , on top of that the main Class and the main Attribute section be collapsible and expandable. The only way to do this that I could see was to use a JS (Java Script file) - there must be a way to do this as if you open a XML file in IE with not XSL this type of format is by default applied to the nodes.... The link I provided is a download to my current situation. It will show you how opening schemadb.xml really sucks.

I'm not sure this is usable in a production environment and what the status is of this XML parser but it could be that this will give you an exceptable performance. Hope these ideas aren't too weird :) -----Original Message----- From: Carlos Magalhaes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: maandag 19 juli 2004 22:39 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [AspNetAnyQuestionIsOk] XSL vs Straight String Builder storing HTML Hi All, Right so , I will explain what I need to do, I will explain what I have done and hopefully someone will explain what I need to do and how to do it :) I have a XML file that gets generated dynamically the size of the XML file is on average 1, 2 mb As you can see its a huge file, and the file has to be this big as its a dump of a whole application structure. Now to show this XML file in a "pretty" way, I went down the road of using XSL. This has become s tiring and tedious process. I get the table formatting and the values displaying and that already takes a nightmare of a long time and hangs my CPU by 100% for about 15 - 20 seconds. Then I needed Table collapsing to provide the collapse and expand per table, so I used a script to do this, and this just added to my nightmare XSL. The waiting time went to 30 -45 seconds and 100% cpu (and this is on a P4 2ghz with 1gig of ram). Now would it just be easier for me to use string builder and some how (hoping one of yo uwill show me how) to create the HTML file with the format I require. To view the work i have done please download the files -- http://www.learnasp.com/students/carlosm/xmlfiles.zip Thank you for you time and response I really appreciate your time and help.
