[2008] XmlReader

[Lasering]

Hi!!!

I have this Xml File:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Sudoku>
    <Casa name="A1">1</Casa>
    <Casa name="C1">7</Casa>
    <Casa name="H1">2</Casa>
    <Casa name="A2">8</Casa>
    <Casa name="B2">2</Casa>
    <Casa name="F2">9</Casa>
    <Casa name="H2">1</Casa>
    <Casa name="C3">9</Casa>
    <Casa name="F3">2</Casa>
    <Casa name="G3">5</Casa>
    <Casa name="A4">5</Casa>
    <Casa name="D4">2</Casa>
    <Casa name="F4">8</Casa>
    <Casa name="H4">3</Casa>
    <Casa name="B6">1</Casa>
    <Casa name="D6">7</Casa>
    <Casa name="F6">5</Casa>
    <Casa name="I6">2</Casa>
    <Casa name="C7">5</Casa>
    <Casa name="D7">8</Casa>
    <Casa name="G7">2</Casa>
    <Casa name="B8">3</Casa>
    <Casa name="D8">1</Casa>
    <Casa name="H8">5</Casa>
    <Casa name="I8">4</Casa>
    <Casa name="B9">7</Casa>
    <Casa name="G9">6</Casa>
    <Casa name="I9">3</Casa>
</Sudoku>

Which I want to read. I have this code:

            Using SudokuReader As XmlReader = XmlReader.Create(Path)
                While SudokuReader.Read
                    SudokuReader.ReadToFollowing("Casa")
                    MsgBox(SudokuReader.GetAttribute("name"))
                    MsgBox(SudokuReader.ReadElementContentAsString)
                End While
            End Using

Which works good from the exception that It jumps I mean it reads A1 but it then goes right to H1 without reading the C1. Why?

PS: the MsgBoxes are just to for the post the original code is diferent

If you take a look at the documentation for the XmlReader.ReadToFollowing method, it contains an example that suggests to me that you should be calling ReadToFollowing once only, then calling ReadToNextSibling inside the loop.

try this. it is possible to achieve what you wanted using ReadToFollowing

Using SudokuReader As XmlReader = XmlReader.Create(Path)
    While Not SudokuReader.EOF
 
         SudokuReader.ReadToFollowing("Casa")
         If SudokuReader.GetAttribute("name") = String.Empty Then
             Exit While
         End If
         MsgBox(SudokuReader.GetAttribute("name"))
         MsgBox(SudokuReader.ReadElementContentAsString)
 
    End While
End Using
