hi,

i would like to append my xml file/insert new data to xml file. i use appendChild but it never works. I also want to ask about methode isSupported in Node.
the method is boolean isSupported(String feature, String version)
but i don't know what they mean by feature here, can someone explain about this method too.thank you

this is my xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<logins>
    <user id="x" system="y" envlib="a" env="2" prefix="SPW" depot="NL2" proddiv="FD" lang="NED" />
    <user id="r" system="a" envlib="aO" env="2" prefix="SPW" depot="NL2" proddiv="FD" lang="NED" />
    <user id="t" system="s7" envlib="w" env="4" prefix="SPR" depot="ASD" proddiv="AV" lang="NED" />

</logins>

this is my code:

String strFileName = getServletContext().getRealPath("/xml/user/users.xml");
   File file = new File(strFileName);
   Document doc = null;
   try{

       DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
       DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
       doc = db.parse(file);
       }
   catch(IOException e){
       System.out.println(e);
       }

    Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();
    String nodeValue = root.getNodeName();
    out.println(root.getParentNode().getNodeName());


    Element newElement = doc.createElement("user");
    newElement.setAttributeNode(doc.createAttribute("i d"));
    newElement.setAttribute("id", "andhiez");
    newElement.setAttributeNode(doc.createAttribute("s ystem"));
    newElement.setAttribute("system", "andhiez");
    newElement.setAttributeNode(doc.createAttribute("e nvlib"));
    newElement.setAttribute("envlib", "andhiez");
    newElement.setAttributeNode(doc.createAttribute("e nv"));
    newElement.setAttribute("env", "andhiez");
    newElement.setAttributeNode(doc.createAttribute("p refix"));
    newElement.setAttribute("prefix", "andhiez");
    newElement.setAttributeNode(doc.createAttribute("d epot"));
    newElement.setAttribute("depot", "andhiez");
    newElement.setAttributeNode(doc.createAttribute("p roddiv"));
    newElement.setAttribute("proddiv", "andhiez");
    newElement.setAttributeNode(doc.createAttribute("l ang"));
    newElement.setAttribute("lang", "andhiez");
    root.appendChild(newElement);

Hello m8, you've probably sorted this issue out by now but just in case I thought I would add some code in anyway!

This is obviously using C# - not sure what code you are using but here it is.

Your XML file saved as users.xml in my temp directory:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<logins>
    <user id="x" system="y" envlib="a" env="2" prefix="SPW" depot="NL2" proddiv="FD" lang="NED" />
    <user id="r" system="a" envlib="aO" env="2" prefix="SPW" depot="NL2" proddiv="FD" lang="NED" />
    <user id="t" system="s7" envlib="w" env="4" prefix="SPR" depot="ASD" proddiv="AV" lang="NED" />
</logins>

C# code

//Create an XML Document
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();

//Load in the users xml file
try
{
    doc.Load(@"c:\Temp\users.xml");
}
catch(Exception err)
{
    //Oh dear the document probably wasn't well written
    Response.Write("error: " + err.Message);
}

//Create your new node that you want to add the attributes to
XmlNode newNode = doc.CreateElement("user");

//Create a new attribute assign the value and append it to the new node.
//Repeat this until all attributes have been added
XmlAttribute newAttribute = doc.CreateAttribute("id");
newAttribute.Value = "andhiez";
newNode.Attributes.Append(newAttribute);

//Append the new node to the document
doc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(newNode);

//Save the document
doc.Save(@"c:\Temp\users.xml");

Document now looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<logins>
  <user id="x" system="y" envlib="a" env="2" prefix="SPW" depot="NL2" proddiv="FD" lang="NED" />
  <user id="r" system="a" envlib="aO" env="2" prefix="SPW" depot="NL2" proddiv="FD" lang="NED" />
  <user id="t" system="s7" envlib="w" env="4" prefix="SPR" depot="ASD" proddiv="AV" lang="NED" />
  <user id="andhiez" />
</logins>

Hi All,

I want to create(write XML) file which is going to have a huge data (currently the XML file created is of 2mb)

which approach would be faster
1) XML TextWriter
OR
2) String Builder

Thanks

2Mb isn't what I would describe as "huge" - I'd reserve that word for anything above 1Gb.

Writing the output at the level of SAX events (e.g. TextWriter) is asking the system to do more of the work, such as escaping special characters (ampersand, <). Writing the output at the level of character strings will be faster if and only if your application can do this work more efficiently than the system can.

Hi,

I looking for a asp.net vb code to add a new node to an existing XML file. I see C codes everywhere but no vb codes. Is that possible to transfer the C code here to vb code?

Thanks,

Norman

Well the API you use with VB.NET is exactly the same as the API you use with C#.
Here is an example in VB.NET that creates and adds a 'foo' element:
