Problem creating XML file...

Hi all

Please read this line:

// Creates a new element for the build configuration
XmlElement xmlBuild = xml.CreateElement("Build");
xml.DocumentElement.AppendChild(xmlBuild);

Instead of

// Creates a new element for the build configuration
XmlElement xmlBuild = xml.CreateElement("//Build");
xml.DocumentElement.AppendChild(xmlBuild);

Thanks!

If you want to remove the DocumentElement from the document then do
xml.DocumentElement.ParentNode.RemoveChild(xml.Doc umentElement);
Then create a new element e.g.
XmlElement element = xml.CreateElement("Build");
element.SetAttribute("type", "Daily");
// set other attributes the same way
// then append element to document
xml.AppendChild(element);
// then create next element
XmlElement element1 = xml.CreateElement("Sync");
element1.SetAttribute("version", "1.0.0.0");
// set other attributes the same way
// then append element as needed e.g.
element.AppendChild(element1);

With the DOM you need to do two steps, first create a node (Create...),
then insert it into another node (AppendChild (or InsertBefore)).

Hi Thanks!

Almost worked!

It blew up when tryed to add the new attribute:

// Remove the root DocumentElement from the document
xml.DocumentElement.ParentNode.RemoveChild(xml.Doc umentElement);

// Create a new element for the build configuration
XmlElement xmlBuild = xml.CreateElement("Build");
xmlBuild.SetAttribute("type", BuildType);
xmlBuild.SetAttribute("sync", BuildSync.ToString());
xmlBuild.SetAttribute("compile", BuildCompile.ToString());
xmlBuild.SetAttribute("assemble", BuildAssemble.ToString());

// Append element to document
xml.AppendChild(xmlBuild);

// Creates a new element for the sync configuration
XmlElement xmlSync = xml.CreateElement("Sync");

// Set the attribute values for the sync configuration
xmlSync.SetAttribute("version", SyncVersion);
xmlSync.SetAttribute("branch", SyncBranch);

// Append element to document
xml.AppendChild(xmlSync); <--- BLOWS UP HERE

Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: This document already
has a DocumentElement node.
at System.Xml.XmlDocument.IsValidChildType(XmlNodeTyp e type)
at System.Xml.XmlNode.AppendChild(XmlNode newChild)

Hi

I solved the error using:

// Append element to document
xml.DocumentElement.AppendChild(xmlSync);

But, still is not in the format that I want...

<Sync version="1.0.0.0" branch="QA">
<Directories basePath="OpicsPlus\Source\Release1.0.0.0\QA" all="true" />
</Sync>

It's writing like this:

<Build type="System" sync="True" compile="True" assemble="True">
<Sync version="1.0.0.0" branch="QA" />
<Directories basePath="//OpicsPlus/Source/Release" />
</Build>

That is not what I have shown you, my post had

XmlElement element = xml.CreateElement("Build");
element.SetAttribute("type", "Daily");
// set other attributes the same way
// then append element to document
xml.AppendChild(element);
// then create next element
XmlElement element1 = xml.CreateElement("Sync");
element1.SetAttribute("version", "1.0.0.0");
// set other attributes the same way
// then append element as needed e.g.
element.AppendChild(element1);

you need to call AppendChild on the node into which you want to insert
the node passed as an argument so in your case you want

xmlBuild.AppendChild(xmlSync);

Alright!

Now worked. Sorry I messed up!

Thanks!
