Xelement paring issue case insensitive

Question

How to parse XElement as case insensitive ?

Here is my code:

private void GetMyLayer(XElement myElement)
{
    Layer layer = new Layer();
    foreach (var myItem in myElement.Descendants("layeritem"))
    {
        if (myItem.Element("HyperLinkFields") != null)
           layer.ClickableHyperLinkFields = gisItem.Element("HyperLinkFields").Value.Split(',');
    }
}

This is working fine when myItem contains a field called HyperLinkFields, but when the field name is HyperlinkFields can't figure out how to do it as case insensitive manner.

Answer 1

Xml is case sensitive, one could have element with same name but different case, which is perfectly valid.

If you read the documentation, Element method returns first (in document order) child element with the specified XName, so you could play with custom code and achieve the same behavior.

var element = myItem.Elements()
                    .FirstOrDefault(x=>x.Name.LocalName.Equals(searchstring, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)); 

if(element != null)
{
    // Your logic 
    //layer.ClickableHyperLinkFields = element.Value.Split(',');
}
