You need to read the documentation, and there are a lot of examples available on Code Project and the rest of the internet. Anyways, here is an example:

using System;
using System.Xml;

namespace XmlExample
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string xml =
"<?xml version='1.0'?>\n"
+ "<nodes>\n"
+ "\t<node/>\n"
+ "</nodes>\n";

XmlDocument xml_doc = new XmlDocument();
xml_doc.PreserveWhitespace = true;
xml_doc.LoadXml(xml);

XmlNode node = xml_doc.SelectSingleNode("//nodes/node");

if (node != null)
{
XmlText text = xml_doc.CreateTextNode("Hello, World!");
node.AppendChild(text);
}

Console.WriteLine(xml_doc.InnerXml);
}
}
}

Hello every one! I have a little problem of deleting xml node. I have deleted successfully the

attributes of node <ScreenSupportItem> but opening and closing tag of node was not deleted

<ScreenSupportItem> and </ScreenSupportItem>.
But i have to delete also the opening and clsing tag ofthe node <ScreenSupportItem> means I have to

remove every thing of <ScreenSupportItem>.How can I do this.

Use an XPath statement to find the node you want to remove then call

node.ParentNode.RemoveChild(node)<br />
<br />

XmlNode node = doc.SelectSingleNode("//x/y/z/ScreenSupportItem");
node.ParentNode.RemoveChild(node);

Thanks a lot sir, its working fine....

Hello sir

There is a little problem of xml again.
How can I go through all child nodes and attributes of child nodes of a parent node..

Suppose i have to go through all child nodes e.g.<ScreenSupportItem> of parent nodes

e.g.<SupportItems>. There can be mutiple <ScreenSupportItem> in a parent node <SupportItems>. I have

to check values of <LinkURL> and <LinkText> of all child nodes <ScreenSupportItem> and if it matches

with the supplied valus it gives a message 'LinkUrl/LinkText already exist' else insert new

<ScreenSupportItem> of <ScreenSupportItem> and set all attributes of <ScreenSupportItem> , which was

supplied by the user.
My code check only first child <ScreenSupportItem> of <SupportItems> if it values matches for

<LinkURL> and <LinkText> give a proper message else insert new <ScreenSupportItem>.
So how can I check all child <ScreenSupportItem> for values <LinkURL> and <LinkText> of

<SupportItems>

hello every one I am tried to update an XML file but its not working according to my requirement. I have to create a new child node <screensupportitem> below the parent node <supportitems> with matching condition --where attribute of <screensupportitem> e.g <refid> is equal to 3 (comes from query string). Also new <screensupportitem> child have different attributes except <refid>. So I have to create a <screensupportitem> with setting new values of all the attributes.

As the error message explains, you are adding a node as a child of itself here. Read the MSDN documentation[^] on this method if you are unsure how to use it.

"No, his mind is not for rent

Tom Sawyer - Rush

am writing an app that uses the .Net classes TCPClient and NetworkStream to read and write data between 2 machines. All works fine.

I have recently found a need to be able to send Http 1.1 with a SOAP message as the Http body. Currently i am using an XmlDocument to load and parse the SOAP data. However to do this i first have to read in the HTTP header, search for the beginning of the body and construct my own XmlDocument.

There must be a better way. I don't want to call a web service, i just want to send http with a soap body and receive the same.

I am looking for a means of loading in the NetworkStream into some kind of HTTP object to read the http stuff and also load the body into some simple Soap object that can be used to pull out/ set values.

Comments, Suggestions Welcomed.

Hi everyone,

Im a newbie in xml, anyone could help to resolve my problem?
I have one xml file and i was able to fill my two datagrid (grdColor and grdSize) using my PO.xml data.Now, my problem is i would like to filter my data in grdSize depending to the data in the grdColor.Like for example, in the grdColor i have two rows, the first row has a ColorID: 1 and the second row is ColorID:2, now , when the mouse cursor pointing to the first row which ColorID is 1 in grdSize it only appear thus data that has ColorID:1.

Thanks in advance.

try and try until you success..

Ummm..... how?

that's my problem right now. Hope someone can help me this problem.

It appears you are not having a problem with XML but with an ASP.NET Datagrid.

Confused | :confused:

"We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give." --Winston Churchill

My problem is I could not filter the data appears in my second datagrid. Because when i load my xml file it will simply populate the two datagrid. My first datagrid is consist of Parent nodes while my second datagrid are the child nodes.
What i want to do is when i load the xml file the first datagrid will display all data while the display data in the second datagrid depends on the first grid.HOw could I filter the data in the second grid?

try and try until you success..

I can think of two ways of filtering your data. First, you can filter the child XML document based on the parent XML document using XSLT, and binding the resulting XML document to the child Datagrid. Second, you can place both XML documents in the same Dataset into their corresponding Datatables. You create a DataRelation and a DataView to achieve your desired results.

You can find articles on Code Project to get you started or you can Google for more resources and examples.

Hi george,

Thanks, but I have only one XML file. How could I manipulate this kind of proble. Can you give me an example code that related to my problem.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
kurt

try and try until you success..

As I said, your problem is with DataGrids. This is the XML/XSL forum. In your case, your XML document is just a data source and you want to display it in a certain way. I guess you want a Master-Detail type report. So, look on Code Project and Google for your example code. I gave you keys to help your search.

Also, if using a DataGrid is to complicated for you. You know you can create your own table and post it to the ASP.NET page.

Hi,

I had created an XML file with Unicode (encoding UTF-8) using Word 2007; the problem is when I try to view it in IE through an XSL result in the following error:

An invalid character was found in text content...

I changed the encoding of XML file to “ISO-8859-1” – able to view in IE but the characters get messed.

Please Help.

ummm.... how?

Hi,

did you try to set the output of your sxl file to utf-8 or iso-8859-1?

example:

<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="iso-8859-1" indent="yes" />

otherwise, some more information might be needed to know where the encoding gets messed up.
