[RESOLVED] Help Reading DataSet from XML

[umilmi81]

Thanks. I don't need a dataset, it was just an easy way to import the xml into a grid to see if it would help me visually.

How do I reference the "gpm_cq" on the same line as your Console.Writeline?

I tried pulling up all the intellisense properties on xMode and xMapType and I'm looking through the Locals window but I haven't figured it out yet.

            XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument();
            xd.Load(@"c:\temp\vbforums.xml");

            
            foreach (XmlElement xMode in xd.GetElementsByTagName("modes"))
            {
                foreach(XmlElement xMapType in xMode.GetElementsByTagName("maptype"))
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(xMapType.GetAttribute("players"));
                    Console.WriteLine(xMode.GetAttribute("type"));
                }
            }

I tried that already and it returns a blank string. Any other ideas?

It should work. Remember it's case sensitive. So "type" is different from "Type" is different from "TYPE". Check your XML again.

Sorry but it doesn't work. I know it's case sensitive.

? xMode.GetAttribute("type")
""
? xMode.GetAttribute("Type")
""
? xMode.GetAttribute("TYPE")
""

Problem Solved.

Notice the top line needs to be "mode" NOT "modes".

Thanks for helping me out on this one. I have my head wrapped around the xml now.

			foreach (XmlElement xMode in xd.GetElementsByTagName("mode"))
			{
				foreach(XmlElement xMapType in xMode.GetElementsByTagName("maptype"))
				{
					Console.WriteLine(xMapType.GetAttribute("players"));
					Console.WriteLine(xMode.GetAttribute("type"));
				}
