I am appending to an existing xml file: The code is below: I am using C# .net 4.5 VS 2012 and creating a WPF application.
How could I append this say 30 times and only change D100 attribute number to 2,3,4,5 etc? The other values are the same!
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using System.Xml;
namespace AppendX
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("C:\\Temp.xml");
XmlNamespaceManager namespaces = new XmlNamespaceManager(doc.NameTable);
namespaces.AddNamespace("flp", "http://www.w3.org/2001/flp");
XmlNode nextNode = doc.SelectSingleNode("/flp:Tab/flp:Designs", namespaces);
XmlElement D100 = doc.CreateElement("flp", "D100", "http://www.w3.org/2001/flp");
D100.SetAttribute("Number", "2");
XmlElement Code = doc.CreateElement("flp", "Code", "http://www.w3.org/2001/flp");
Code.InnerText = "B";
D100.AppendChild(Code);
XmlElement Documented = doc.CreateElement("flp", "Documented", "http://www.w3.org/2001/flp");
Documented.InnerText = "false";
D100.AppendChild(Documented);
nextNode.AppendChild(D100);
doc.Save("test1.xml");
}
}
}
Here is the sample xml I am using, sorry I meant to put this up!
<flp:Tab xmlns:flp="http://www.w3.org/2001/flp" Title="Testing">
<flp:Form Number="0" id="1005" />
<flp:Rev Time="2013-01-21T15:08:00">
<flp:Author Name="Brad" Aid="15" />
</flp:Rev>
<flp:Designs Id="D100">
<flp:D100 Number="1">
<flp:Code>A</flp:Code>
<flp:Documented>true</flp:Documented>
</flp:D100>
</flp:Designs>
</flp:Tab>
Create a separate private function that would handle the creation of the document element, given the parameters. ex:
private xmlelement dothework(string param1, string param2){
'do all necessary work to set up the element in here and then return it
}
I would separate the work like this, create a different function for each section of work, so that eventually you can just loop through and append each to the document.
