Hi,
All

I am trying to add the new element(Node) into the XML document. Atfirst the code is cutting the columns headers of a gidview then it is storing the columns elements into an array, then I need to write the array elements into an XML file.

 When I am calling the XMLWrite method it is writting the first array element. Then I need to add the others array element.

I am giving the code also.

protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        int abc;
        abc = GridView1.Columns.Count;
        TextBox1.Text = abc.ToString();
        string[] MyArray;
        MyArray = new string[abc];
        int m = abc;
        int j = 0;
        int i = 0;
        for (i = 0; i < m; i++)
        {
            string Clnt = GridView1.HeaderRow.Cells[j].Text;

            MyArray[j] = Clnt;
            j = j + 1;
        }
        //string xmlFilePath = @"C:\Data\Employees.xml";
        string xmlFilePath = @"C:\Documents and Settings\somesh.c.BSSAS0\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\WebSites\WebSite10\Employees.xml";

        try
        {
            XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
            settings.Indent = true;
            settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Auto;
            settings.IndentChars = "\t";
            settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = false;
            using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(xmlFilePath, settings))
            {
                //Start writing the XML document
                writer.WriteStartDocument(true);
                //Start with the root element
                i = 0;
                for (i = 0; i < m; i++)
                {
                    string get;
                    get = MyArray[i];
                   writer.WriteStartElement("Element", get);
                    writer.WriteEndElement();
                    writer.WriteEndDocument();
                    //Flush the object and write the XML data to the file
                    //writer.Flush();

                }


            }
        }


        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Response.Write("An Exception occurred: " + ex.Message);
        }


    }
}


If any one can solve it then it will be a great help for me.

With regards

Somesh Chatterjee.

You need to write more elements using the "WriteStartElement" and "WriteEndElement" methods. Perhaps we could help more if you can provide a simple example of the the data you are getting, and what the resulting XML should look like.

Hi,
At first, I want to give you, thank for showing interest about my posting.
I am sending the sample data for Example.

Remember my last post, you will found there is an array the array is not fixed size. According to the size of the Grid view column header the array, size will set programmatically. For example, say there is five header (or Array elements). First one - EmployeeID, second one- Employee First Name, than Last name, designation, Skill accordingly.

Now when I am starting to write the XML file then I don’t know that what is the array size that's why I need to write the first element then a for loop will add the element as the child node of the first element.


I am able to create the XML file and write the first element but till unable to add the child node by for loop.

If you can solve it, I shall be highly obliged.

Than you

Somesh

Hi, All

Now I am able to add the new elements into the XML file.

i am giving the code through which I did id

        abc = GridView1.Columns.Count;
        TextBox1.Text = abc.ToString();
        string[] MyArray;
        MyArray = new string[abc];
        int m = abc;
        int j = 0;
        int i = 0;
        for (i = 0; i < m; i++)
        {
            string Clnt = GridView1.HeaderRow.Cells[j].Text;

            MyArray[j] = Clnt;
            j = j + 1;
        }
        //string xmlFilePath = @"C:\Data\Employees.xml";
        string xmlFilePath = @"C:\Documents and Settings\somesh.c.BSSAS0\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\WebSites\WebSite10\Employees.xml";

        try
        {
            XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
            settings.Indent = true;
            settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Auto;
            settings.IndentChars = "\t";
            settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = false;
            using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(xmlFilePath, settings))
            {
                //Start writing the XML document
                writer.WriteStartDocument(true);
                //Start with the root element
                i = 0;
                string get;
                get = MyArray[i];

                writer.WriteStartElement("employees");
                writer.WriteStartElement("employee");
                writer.WriteStartElement("attribute");
                //writer.WriteStartElement(typeof 'CheckBox');
                writer.WriteElementString("element", get);

                i = 1;
                for (i = 1; i < m; i++)
                {
                    get = MyArray[i];
                    writer.WriteElementString("element", get);
                }


                writer.WriteEndElement();
                writer.WriteEndElement();
                writer.WriteEndDocument();

            }

        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Response.Write("An Exception occurred: " + ex.Message);

        }


    }



Thanks
