Basic XML document interaction
suggest changepublic static void Main()
{
var xml = new XmlDocument();
var root = xml.CreateElement("element");
// Creates an attribute, so the element will now be "<element attribute='value' />"
root.SetAttribute("attribute", "value");
// All XML documents must have one, and only one, root element
xml.AppendChild(root);
// Adding data to an XML document
foreach (var dayOfWeek in Enum.GetNames((typeof(DayOfWeek))))
{
var day = xml.CreateElement("dayOfWeek");
day.SetAttribute("name", dayOfWeek);
// Don't forget to add the new value to the current document!
root.AppendChild(day);
}
// Looking for data using XPath; BEWARE, this is case-sensitive
var monday = xml.SelectSingleNode("//dayOfWeek[@name='Monday']");
if (monday != null)
{
// Once you got a reference to a particular node, you can delete it
// by navigating through its parent node and asking for removal
monday.ParentNode.RemoveChild(monday);
}
// Displays the XML document in the screen; optionally can be saved to a file
xml.Save(Console.Out);
}
