Hi Sharon,
I was not able to reproduce the issue you were seeing with the code you
submitted, I suspect that is not the exact code you are really running.
However I modified it to make it work, maybe this will help:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Xml;
namespace ConsoleApplication10
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Class1.
/// </summary>
class Class1
{
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string xml = @"<items>
<item type=""car"">
<name>Volvo</name>
<properties>
<manufacturer>F16</manufacturer>
<engine>1300</engine>
<color>White</color>
</properties>
</item>
</items>";
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.LoadXml(xml);
XmlNodeList items = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("item");
IEnumerator iEnum = items.GetEnumerator();
while(iEnum.MoveNext())
{
XmlNode itemNode = (XmlNode)iEnum.Current ;
XmlNode name = itemNode.SelectSingleNode("name");
XmlNodeList properties = itemNode.SelectNodes("properties");
for(int i=0;i<properties.Count;i++)
{
XmlNode propertyItem = properties[i].FirstChild;
while(propertyItem != null)
{
Console.WriteLine(propertyItem.InnerText);
propertyItem = propertyItem.NextSibling;
}
}
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

Thank you Mark
Sorry for wrong posting the XML file
the xml go's its like this :
//XML -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<items>
<item type="car">
<name>Volvo</name>
<Properties>
<manufacturer>F16 </manufacturer>
<engine>1300</engine>
<color>White</color>
</properties>
</item>
</items>
//XML -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

news:FD**********************************@microsof t.com... Hi Sharon,
you will need to restructure your XML, you have things like:
<engine="1300" />
this is not right, you need to either put the text inside the element i.e.
<engine>1300</engine> or put the value as an attribute value inside the
element:
<engine capacity="1300" />
Then when you loop through the properties nodes you will either say:
properties[i].InnerText
when using <engine>1300</engine>
or you will say properties[i].Attributes["capacity"].Value
when using <engine capacity="1300" />
Hope that helps

Hi guys
I don't understand what I am doing wrong
I wrote this code, in order to manipulate some Xml data, I have problem
with
level 4 (properties section):
//CODE -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
XmlNodeList items = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("item");
IEnumerator iEnum = items.GetEnumerator();
while(iEnum.MoveNext())
{
XmlNode itemNode = iEnum.Current ;
XmlElement name = itemNode.SelectSingleNode("name");
XmlNodeList properties =
itemNode.SelectNodes("Properties");
for(int i=0;i<properties.Count;i++)
MessageBox.Show(properties[i]);
}
//CODE -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
for extracting some data on this XML file :
//XML -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<items>
<item type="car">
<name ="Volvo">
<Properties>
<manufacturer="F16" />
<engine="1300" />
<color="White"/>
</properties>
</item>
</items>
//XML -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is that I'm getting from the for loop message :
"F161300White"
Instead of 3 message boxes: "F16" "1300" "White"
please advise .
Thank you
Sharon
