Re: Xalan release with VS 2005 support.

[Sanjith Chungath <cs...@gmail.com>]

Smeeta,
           Yes these errors are because of compiler version i.e VS 2005. We
also encountered similar errors in .h files. Fix for this was to take the
latest code of Xerces and Xalan and build it with VS 2005. We even built the
latest code with VS 2005 SP1 and use it in our product. Latest source code
contains project files for VC 8.0. It was a matter of minutes for us to
build the binaries and use the latest build.

Best solution will be to take the release binaries from Xerces and Xalan
compatible with VC 8.0. But i dont know when it will be released.

-Regards,
Sanjith.
