Simple XML parsing question

Hi.

I am new to both C# and XML parsing. I simply want to find out if a
node contains other nodes, and if it does i want to do something with
it. How can i find out in a simple way that in the example below both
<data> and <moredata> contains other nodes? I have been using both the
XPathNavigator and the XMLNodeReader without finding a cleaver way of
doing this...

XML example:

<data>
<elem>val<ele m>
<elem>val<ele m>
<moredata>
<elem>val<ele m>
</moredata>
</data>

You can either use the XmlNode.HasChil dNodes property or the
XmlNodeReader.I sEmptyElement property

I tried using the IsEmptyElement none of the above nodes are empty
since they have a value, i want to know if a node contains other
nodes..

Hi, This is a newbie's question. I want to preload 4 images and only when all 4 images has been loaded into browser's cache, I want to start a slideshow() function.

Hello, I have a simple script to parse a text file (a visual basic program) and convert key parts to tcl. Since I am only working on specific sections and I need it quick, I decided not to learn/try a full blown parsing module. My simple script works well until it runs into functions that straddle multiple lines. For example: Call mass_write(&H0, &HF, &H4, &H0, &H5, &H0, &H6, &H0, &H7, &H0, &H8, &H0, _

I have found dozen of useful PHP counters on the web. However, nobody is working for my web pages, since administrator does not want to enable the possibility that PHP could be called from HTML. (i.e. "Addhandler application/x-httpd-php .html .php" in .htaccess). He says it is a security problem. Is it possible to make a PHP counter WITHOUT using echo command? Thanks for your suggestions,

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
