Just got done with a .Net app that includes a full text navigatable version of the KJV Bible I'd be willing to Post it so others could download it. If someone would make a "Code Database" for .Net Code posts. I'll be reworking this engine soon to include a ASV Version as well.

I'd like to see that... I've been learning a little C#.net and learning how that relates to my vb6 skills and vb.net.

Please post it

I zipped a version of the code and put it at
http://66.234.6.171/kjvonline/kjvxml.zip
a functioning version can be viewed at
http://66.234.6.171/kjvonline

It's XML/Frammed Based

I had stopped coming out here it didn't look like anyone was interested in sharing Code for web development. I Hope to get a website setup soon to start shareing code for Church websites but it will be some time before I get it done.

although others projects are quite different from yours, hang around here still and make sure you post when you get different things up and running, there will always be those interested a little..

God Bless..

i would be more interested if it was C# rather than vb.net
vb.net gives me the creepies :P

How did you take the raw text of the KJV and format it? I have the text of several other Bibles, and have been wanting to do a similar project (not XML), and have been trying to figure out a good way of 'tagging' the start of each verse.

I actually used a XML version of the KJV to provide the structure. Part of the code download is a 5 meg XML file that contains the actual text of the KJV. It's not the only way to tag the beginning of each chapter and verse but when you consider the speed of the XML parser as compared to the speed of string manipulation it because more effective to use XML then any type of token search.
The key is to use the XML as if it were a db. manipulate the XML server side using the XMLDom and only send to the client what is needed for the requested rendering.
The app is based entirely off the XML file. So if you were to use the same schema but markup a different version. The nex version could be dropped in seamlessly.

I'd love to see something set up for people to share web development info... I bugged Krylar about that at one point when the site first started up, but I think he didn't want to diversify too much and wanted to stick with games primarily...

Let me know when you get that site up.

Oh, and thanks for the code I just gave it a cursory glance, but I'm looking forward to digging into it a bit more.
