on my page I have a DropDownList and a label. My DropDownList is filled from
an xml file using XPathNavigator. What I want to do is when the user selects
a value from my DropDownList I want a certain node to be selected from an
XPathNodeIterator and I want the value of its attribute displayed in the
Label on my page.
Here is my code:
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Put user code to initialize the page here
Dim xpd As XPathDocument = New
XPathDocument(Server.MapPath("weather.xml"))
' Get the associated navigator
Dim xpn As XPathNavigator = xpd.CreateNavigator()
Dim strDate, strLine As String
Dim arrDate() As String
If Not IsPostBack Then
' Retrieve nodes to match the expression
Dim xpni As XPathNodeIterator = xpn.Select("//day")
' And dump the results
ddl1.Items.Clear()
While xpni.MoveNext
ddl1.Items.Add(xpni.Current.GetAttribute("t", String.Empty)
& " " & xpni.Current.GetAttribute("dt", String.Empty))
End While
Else
strLine = Trim(ddl1.SelectedItem.Text)
arrDate = strLine.Split(" ")
strDate = arrDate(1) & " " & arrDate(2)
Dim xpni2 As XPathNodeIterator = xpn.Select("//day[./@dt='" &
strDate & "']")
<!--The problem starts here. I don't seem to be able to retrieve the child
node "part" and it's attribute "p" where "p='d'" from my XPathNodeiterator
xpdi2-->
lblDay.Text =
xpni2.Current.SelectChildren(".//part[./@p='d']").Current.ToString
''lblDay.Text =
xpni2.Current.Select(".//part[./@p='d']").Current.ToString
'lblDay.Text =
xpni2.Current.SelectChildren(".//part[./@p='d']").Current.ToString
<!-- end//-->
End If
End Sub
Here is a copy of my weather.xml file:
