I have this replicate scenario my XML document below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Home>
<Kitchen>
<Pantry>
<Ingredients>
<Name>Tomato</Name>
<ID>1</Price_ID>
<Name>Tomato</Name>
<Income>Sales</Income> // replace the <Income> element with its value <Sales>
<Cost>Materials</Cost>
<Price>100</Price> // the value for new <Sales> element shall be this <Price> value
</Ingredients>
//.. and thousands more sets of ingredients
</Pantry>
</Kitchen>
</Home>
//.. and thousands more sets of ingredients
And I want to restructure it in the following manner:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Home>
<Kitchen>
<Pantry>
<Ingredients>
<Name>Tomato</Name>
<ID>1</ID>
<Name>Tomato</Name>
<Sales>100</Sales> // the <Income> was replaced by its value and the value was taken from the <Price> element that was deleted also
<Cost>Materials</Cost>
</Ingredients>
//.. and thousands more sets of ingredients
</Pantry>
</Kitchen>
</Home>
I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to do this. I will appreciate any help here.
Using Xml Ling :
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;
namespace ConsoleApplication37
{
class Program
{
const string FILENAME = @"c:\temp\test.xml";
static void Main(string[] args)
{
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(FILENAME);
List<XElement> ingredients = doc.Descendants("Ingredients").ToList();
foreach (XElement ingredient in ingredients)
{
XElement xIncome = ingredient.Element("Income");
XElement xPrice = ingredient.Element("Price");
xIncome.ReplaceWith(new XElement("Sales", (string)xPrice));
xPrice.Remove();
}
}
}
}
