Read String into XMLTextReader

[rodrick]

Hi,

I have the following string in XML format:

<CustomerDetails>
<CompanyName>ONLINE TEST</CompanyName>
<CustomerName>CAROL DAVIS</CustomerName>
<OrderNumber>H897</OrderNumber>
<OrderNumber>H435</OrderNumber>
</CustomerDetails>

I want to be able to read this in as XML so I can easily work with the nodes and their values.

How do I do this?

Thank You

Ummm , I'm sorry I can't give you a sample code but if you can check XMLDocument class , I think you'd probably figure something out.

OK, If i understand your question, you have the xml in a string and want to read it as xml ok. Here's how I do it:

using System.Xml; // Namespace to use XML.

...

string StrXml = // Your xml string assigned here.

// Create a new XmlDocument object.
XmlDocument ReadDoc = new XmlDocument();

// Input the xml string to be read as XML.
ReadDoc.LoadXml(StrXml);

// Nodereader object for the document.
XmlNodeReader reader = new XmlNodeReader(ReadDoc);


// loop through the reader and get informatin from the xml file
while(reader.Read())
{
if(reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.XmlDeclaration)
{
// Display xml name and value.
txtXmlDec.Text = reader.Name+ " " +reader.Value;

}/* end if */

etc. (look in the msdn for xmlnodereader and you'll see the different types of nodetypes you could use to read from.)

}/* end while */





... this works for me - Jennifer
