[prashant]

Hi all,
i am working with .net 2.0 and sql server managment studio of
version--9.00.1399.00

for getting a xmldocument from a xml data in sqlserver ..

their is no error in this program but xmlreader returned by
line-->
"XmlReader xmlUser = xmlMain.CreateReader();

shows that xmlUser.HasValue is false but the "xmlMain" has the Xml
document...and the end result i am getting is null in XmlDocumnet named
userdoc....and thats not our requirment

the function is following:--

public static XmlDocument GetXmlDocument(string coloumName,
SqlDataReader sqlReader)
{
int ordinal = sqlReader.GetOrdinal(coloumName);
XmlDocument userDoc = new XmlDocument();
if (ordinal 0)
{
SqlXml xmlMain = sqlReader.GetSqlXml(ordinal);

if (!xmlMain.IsNull)
{
XmlReader xmlUser = xmlMain.CreateReader();
if (xmlUser.HasValue)
{
userDoc.Load(xmlUser);
}
}
return userDoc;
Thanx in advance........

HasValue returns a true if the node on which the reader is currently
positioned has a value. You suppose you wanted to read the first node

XmlReader xmlUser = xmlMain.CreateReader();
if (xmlUser.Read)
{
userDoc.Load(xmlUser);
}

must be if (xmlUser.Read())

Hi

As Alexey has suggested, after you create the XmlReader from SqlXml
instance, you can call its "Read()" method to read into the underlying XML
stream. Also, you need to first call "Read" method on the SqlDataReader you
get so as to move to the first returned record:

e.g.

================
using (SqlCommand command =
connection.CreateCommand())
{
command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
command.CommandText = sql;
command.Parameters.AddRange(sqlParams);

connection.Open();

using (SqlDataReader dr =
command.ExecuteReader())
{
if (dr.Read())
document.Load(
dr.GetSqlXml(0).CreateReader());
}

connection.Close();
}

===========================

Here are some web articles discussing on this:

Hope this helps.
