Been trying to read a simply xml file.
Looked at and tried a few samples with no luck.
Funny thing is, I do this all the time in actionscript.
But, here is the xml file....
<
xml version="1.0" ><
Parms> <Name>test1</Name> <Uname>test2</Uname> <PW>test3</PW> <Server>smtp.isp.com</Server> <Pop>smtp.isp.com</Pop> <Email>email@isp.net</Email></
Parms>
And here is a sample I have been trying to get to work.
XmlTextReader myReader =
null;myReader =
new XmlTextReader (xmlFile);// xmlFile is path to file while (myReader.Read()){
if (myReader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element){
string x;x = myReader.Name.ToString();
// reads back Params if (myReader.LocalName.Equals("Name")){
txtName.Text = myReader.ReadString();
AL.Add(myReader.ReadString()); // AL is an ArrayList but never gets inside this if statement
}
}}
Suggestions
Thanks,

XmlTextReader
publicgk
StringBuilder xml = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
xml.Append("< xml version=\"1.0\" >");
xml.Append("<Parms>");
xml.Append("<Name>test1</Name>");
xml.Append("<Uname>test2</Uname>");
xml.Append("<PW>test3</PW>");
xml.Append("<Server>smtp.isp.com</Server>");
xml.Append("<Pop>smtp.isp.com</Pop>");
xml.Append("<Email>email@isp.net</Email>");
xml.Append("</Parms>");
System.IO.TextReader stringReader = new System.IO.StringReader(xml.ToString());
System.Xml.XmlReader myReader = new System.Xml.XmlTextReader(stringReader);
while (myReader.Read())
{
if (myReader.NodeType == System.Xml.XmlNodeType.Element)
{
String x;
x = myReader.Name.ToString();
if (myReader.LocalName.Equals("Name"))
{
// This line will write "test1" to the console
Console.WriteLine(myReader.ReadString());
}
}
}

Looks similar to what I have been trying, but get this compile error for the keyword using.
Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Xml.XmlTextReader' to 'System.IDisposable'
And I'm using VS.Net 2003

Yes, it did work fine. I put in a test string and stepped through.
Something I should have done in the beginning.
The problem was and always has been this in the if statements...
txtEmail.Text = myReader.ReadString();
AL.Add(myReader.ReadString());
I was calling the funtion from another form and the ArrayList elements were all coming back null.
So, I added a string var and did this....
sNodeRead = myReader.ReadString(); //sNodeRead is the new string var
txtName.Text = sNodeRead;
AL.Add(sNodeRead);
It all came back fine.

The following outputs 'test1':
using (XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(xmlfile))
{
while (reader.Read())
{
if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
{
if (reader.LocalName.Equals("Name"))
{
Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadString());
}
}
}
}
