Please ... example code due on looping though specific nodes

[gator]

I am quite new to XML and posted a request for example code yesterday.
Unfortunately, I did not do a very good job in explaining what I was
looking for. Here is an example of a small piece of the file:

<Scoreboard>
<Events>
<Event ID="001212" Name="EventName 1" />
<Event ID="001213" Name="EventName 2" />
<Event ID="001214" Name="EventName 3" />
<Event ID="001215" Name="EventName 4" />
</Events>
<EventTypes>
<EventType ID="01" SingleGame="tru e" Name="EventName 1" />
<EventType ID="02" SingleGame="tru e" Name="EventName 2" />
<EventType ID="03" SingleGame="tru e" Name="EventName 3" />
<EventType ID="04" SingleGame="tru e" Name="EventName 4" />
<EventType ID="05" SingleGame="tru e" Name="EventName 5" />
<EventType ID="06" SingleGame="tru e" Name="EventName 6" />
<EventType ID="07" SingleGame="tru e" Name="EventName 7" />
</EventTypes>
<Teams>
<Team ID="11" City="City1" Name="Name1" City="City1"
Nickname="nickn ame1" Conference="Con ference1">
<Player ID="91" />
<Player ID="190" />
<Player ID="77" />
<Player ID="133" />
<Player ID="144" />
<Player ID="195" />
<Player ID="220" />
<Player ID="231" />
<Player ID="214" />
<Team ID="13" City="City2" Name="Name2" City="City2"
Nickname="nickn ame2" Conference="Con ference1">
<Player ID="91" />
<Player ID="190" />
<Player ID="77" />
<Player ID="133" />
<Player ID="144" />
<Player ID="195" />
<Player ID="220" />
<Player ID="231" />
<Player ID="214" />
</Team>
</Teams>
<Match ID="999" StatusType="6" IsChallengeEnab led="false"
VenueID="NBB" SchedDate="2006-07-30" SchedTime="13:0 0"
ElapsedTime="02 :01" Winner="H" Attendance="" Final="Y">
<ChairUmpires >
<ChairUmpire Num="1" Name="" />
<ChairUmpire Num="2" Name="" />
</ChairUmpires>
<Teams>
<Team ID="1" Type="H" ChallengesMade= "5" ChallengesWon=" 3">
<Player ID="162" Coach="N" />
<Player ID="92" Coach="N" />
<Player ID="127" Coach="N" />
<Player ID="183" Coach="N" />
<Player ID="58" Coach="Y" />
<Stats FSPts="77" FSPtsWon="53" SSPts="21" SSPtsWon="11"
FSAces="2" SSAces="2" DF="2" TeamBrkPts="16" TeamBrkPtsWon=" 6"
TotPtsWon="110" TeamDeucePts="6 " TeamDeucePtsWon ="1" GamesPlayed="35 "
GamesWon="21" />
</Team>
</Match>
</Scoreboard>

How could I loop through a specific node, such as "Scoreboard/Teams"
and pull out all the information for ONLY that specific node? Once
that is done I would like to be able to move to another node such as
"Match/Teams" and loop through only that node and get all the info. I
would not need to loop through every node in the file, just specific
ones.

As I mentioned, this is just a small sample of the file, it is more
complex than this, but if I could get to this stage I could figure the
rest out. All this info must be put into a database.

Please if anyone has an example on how to do this, I would really
appreciate it. I am in urgent need of getting this done immediately.

Thanks,
Steve

Yeah know, I don't care what others think. It means nothing to me.

<snip>

I think you'll find you *will* care if you have a question that *you*
want answering and no-one is willing to help because of the attitude
you've been displaying in this thread and others.

Not to be rude here, but if I want a question answered, then I know how to
go find that answer, if I had to do that.

I know that *I'd*
certainly rather spend time trying to help someone who has a history of
being polite than someone who is often rude and unwilling to
acknowledge mistakes.

What mistakes were those? Now, I may see things in a different light, which
I do see, because I do come from a different background or environment than
most posting in this NG, which is the streets I grew up in and still deal
with at times. I will apply that street mentality at times in a NG. But that
doesn't mean anything is a mistake.

I don't have enough time to answer every
question, so I have to apply some criteria to work out which ones to
spend effort on. Politeness is one of those criteria. Maybe that's just
me, but I strongly suspect it isn't.

I am not trying to be rude here. I don't think I would ask for any help,
because I know how to go find the answer, particularly when it comes to
programming and the MS platform.

The key to anything being talked about in this NG or any NG is this.

Does one know how to find the information for a given problem and apply the
information to produce a viable solution? That's what the Internet is about.
And if you know how to go find that information, you do, and if you don't,
then you don't know how to do it. There are no in betweens.

"Not to be rude"? A little too late for that, don't you think?

The same thing could be said of practically EVERY question asked in this
newsgroup. Why should we bother answering *any* question, given that's
the case?

>I know that *I'd*

Well, for me the defining moment in your introduction of yourself to this
newsgroup was when you refused to acknowledge the error in claiming that
modifying a loop index from within the loop would in and of itself make
the loop "blow up" (your words).

You've had your share of other missteps, IMHO, but I'll bet that's the one
that sticks in most people's minds.

Now, I may see things in a different light, which I do see, because I do
come from a different background or environment than most posting in
this NG, which is the streets I grew up in and still deal with at times.

Huh? This is about "street cred", or some silly notion like that?

Here's a hint: even if you do live in a rough neighborhood (whatever
that's supposed to mean), that doesn't justify you going around insulting
people.

I will apply that street mentality at times in a NG. But that doesn't
mean anything is a mistake.

I think that the mistakes Jon refers to are factual errors you've made.
Being rude is also a mistake, but I don't think that's the point he was
making.

I am not trying to be rude here. I don't think I would ask for any
help, because I know how to go find the answer, particularly when it
comes to programming and the MS platform.

Again, if everyone should be expected to just "go find the answer" rather
than ask the question here, why should anyone ever post a question here?

If "there are no in betweens", then why do we have this newsgroup at all?

Like Jon, I do keep track of the people who can't behave themselves, and I
do avoid answering their questions. But more importantly, even if you do
not expect to ever ask a question here, that does not make it okay for you
to go around abusing people.

I find it unfortunate that in the last few weeks, we've had at least two
off-topic threads by people who basically refuse to act politely, only
because there are no direct consequences to them for not doing so. I find
myself wondering what ever happened to the notion of doing something just
because "it's the right thing to do" (and I'm not talking oatmeal here).

I've found part of the answer to my question (thanks to several on
this thread) but I am unsure of how to finish. Here is the code I
have now:

[...]

foreach (XmlNode node in list)
{
s += "Title: " + node["EventType"].Attributes["ID"].Value ;
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This gives me the first instance of the attribute "ID", which is a
good start, but how do I loop through the whole node "EventType" and
retreive the whole list of attributes?

You need to implement some sort of recursive processing, where you use the
XmlNode.ChildNo des property to look at the XML nodes within the given node.

It can either be a true recursive method that calls itself and has the
logic in it to handle every single node type you expect to see,
maintaining the necessary state to know what to do with those nodes. Or
you can write special-purpose methods for each node type, calling each as
appropriate from the others as you come across each node.

But the key is that once you have an XML node, you can enumerate all of
the nodes within it by using the ChildNodes property.

uh, excuse me folks ... but could we move the psychiatric session to
another thread so I could see if anyone can help me with the OTHER
topic of the thread, "XML Parsing"?

=)

Thanks, much appreciated!

Uh, well...you could always move your question about XML back to the
original thread you posted. It seems to have remained relatively
uncluttered. :)

If I respected your opinion, I might listen. I don't respect you, period. So
you might as well stop posting to me.

Well you please do it and stay out of my face. That's all I ask of any of
you is to stay out of my face. You'll find that I don't have conversations
with the regulars in any NG. It's best that way.

It means nothing to me regarding whether you respect my opinion or not.
There are factual statements here that pertain to you. In any case, if my
posts are so useless to you, I really wish you'd just put me in your
killfile and be done with it. If I "might as well stop posting to you",
why do you bother to reply at all?

[Mr. Arnold]

Disappear Peter, you mean nothing to me. And the sooner you understand
that, the better things will be. The moment I recognize anyone as being a
serious regular in a NG whether that be top posting for help or posting down
in a thread, it's over for him or her. I will not initiate a post to that
person, as I have no need to do that. I mind my own business, help someone
if I can, and in general, I mind my own business.
