I'm trying to cleans the Xml element with the attribut "nil=true" inside a document. I come up with this algo but I don't like how it's look.
Do anyone know a linq version of this algo?
/// <summary>
/// Cleans the Xml element with the attribut "nil=true".
/// </summary>
/// <param name="value">The value.</param>
public static void CleanNil(this XElement value)
{
List<XElement> toDelete = new List<XElement>();
foreach (var element in value.DescendantsAndSelf())
{
if (element != null)
{
bool blnDeleteIt = false;
foreach (var attribut in element.Attributes())
{
if (attribut.Name.LocalName == "nil" && attribut.Value == "true")
{
blnDeleteIt = true;
}
}
if (blnDeleteIt)
{
toDelete.Add(element);
}
}
}
while (toDelete.Count > 0)
{
toDelete[0].Remove();
toDelete.RemoveAt(0);
}
}
What's the namespace of the nil
attribute? Put that inside { } like this:
public static void CleanNil(this XElement value)
{
value.Descendants().Where(x=> (bool?)x.Attribute("{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance}nil") == true).Remove();
}
