C# and XML **SOLVED**

[Sgt-Peppa]

Ok, i am pretty new to C# and xml. I have a project where I need to read an XML File and get some Values

first of all heres my xml Structure:
<doctypes>
<type>
<name>one</name>
<regexpression>testexp</regexpression>
<containsbin>no</containsbin>
</type>
<type>
<name>two</name>
<regexpression>onemore</regexpression>
<containsbin>no</containsbin>
</type>
</doctypes>

Now what I do is read in my xml doc, run through all nodes and compare the Values to a "Flatfile". Once I found a regexpression in the flatfile I want to write the name of it to a variable. Heres what I do up till now:


foreach(XmlNode n2 in docElement.ChildNodes) // for every childnode in doc_types
{
if(n2.Name =="type") // if childnode is called type then
{
foreach(XmlNode n3 in n2.ChildNodes) // read all the attributes of that type
{
//get the regexp and look in the doc if its there
if(n3.Name == "regexpression")
{
string tmp = n3.InnerText;
if(rest.IndexOf(tmp) !=-1)
{
//get the node before that node and write the inner text to header
//break the first for each
}
}
}
}
}

So heres my question: Once I found the regular Expression in my Flatfile I want to get the Value of the node <name> wich is one node before the <regexpression> node. How can I select the that node without running through all my nodes again?

Is that clear? Hope to hear from you guys,

Thanx in advance Stephan

Ok i found a workaround for that. Just changed my xml structure. Not very clean, but works!
