Need help on looping throug a xml file to find a specific innerxml

[janhm]

Hello.

I need to loop through a xml file finding a specific innerxml text and then
ad the content to a treeview.

For example. If the innerxml im searching for is "item001" then I want the
content in <items></items>

added to my treeview.

<items>
<item>item001 </item>
<more_item>stuf f</more_item>
</items>

Any ideas how to do that.

I must admit I have little xml and treeview experience so I hope you are
able to help or guide me to an examble.

Thanks

Use an XPATH query. Look up the SelectNodes method of the
XmlDataDocument class.

thanks, will have a look..

It appears that XPATH isn't supported, as im developing for a smart device..

any other ideas ?

XmlReader r = new XmlTextReader(" myfile.xml");

while(r.Read())
{
r.MoveToContent (); // move past whitespace, comments, etc
if( r.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Ele ment && r.LocalName== <nodename> && r.NamespaceUri= =<namespace>)
{
r.Read(); // move to the text node of the required element
MessageBox.Show (r.Value); // get the text node value
}
}

That's a bit rubbish.

I was once involved in an eVB project, and I'm pretty sure we used MSXML
to evaluate XPATH expressions on a PDA. I wrote the synchronisation
software in C#, but I think I remember helping the eVB guy with XPATH
syntax.

You might be able to use MSXML via COM interop, but I think it's
probably simpler just to iterate the nodes and examine them.

Of course - that would require COM interop to be supported ;-)

hmm, I don't know so much about this. (comming from delphi programming)..

I got an error and goggled for it.. found this one :

and a friend told me when developing for smartdevice in vs.net I was using
compact framework. But as I said I don't know..

You are, and those XPATH methods aren't supported. I think you'll have
to resort to brute force and ignorance.
