How to Parse XML File

Hello, I have an XML file generated from a third party application that I
would like to parse. Ideally, I plan on having a windows service setup to
scan various folders for XML files and parse the file, then spit out totals.

Since I haven't worked with XML too much in C#, I'm trying to develop a
structured and easy-to-read way to parse the file.

Essentially, I would like to read the file and add the "BatchTktAmountfor
any <Batchelements that may exist. There could be 1 or more...

As a verification, I may also want to add the <BATCH\Itemselements, there
could be 1 or more, and if <Genderis a credit "CR", accumulate totals for
credit items. If <Genderis a debit "DR", acculate totals for debit items.

Total items should equal the total batches.

I guess if I had relatively good XML parsing code, I could figure out how to
read the file in such a way to get the information. The real kicker for me
is the multiple batches and items.

Sample is below.

Any help would be appreciated

If you can convert it into a dataset, then you can easily bind to it and do
usual DB type stuff with its values

"DavidM" <Da****@discussions.microsoft.comwrote in message
news:6B**********************************@microsof t.com...
Hello, I have an XML file generated from a third party application that I
would like to parse. Ideally, I plan on having a windows service setup to
scan various folders for XML files and parse the file, then spit out
totals.

Since I haven't worked with XML too much in C#, I'm trying to develop a
structured and easy-to-read way to parse the file.

Essentially, I would like to read the file and add the "BatchTktAmount>
for
any <Batchelements that may exist. There could be 1 or more...

As a verification, I may also want to add the <BATCH\Itemselements,
there
could be 1 or more, and if <Genderis a credit "CR", accumulate totals
for
credit items. If <Genderis a debit "DR", acculate totals for debit
items.

Total items should equal the total batches.

I guess if I had relatively good XML parsing code, I could figure out how
to
read the file in such a way to get the information. The real kicker for
me
is the multiple batches and items.

Sample is below.

Any help would be appreciated

If you want a simple solution, then I would just use the XmlTextReader class
to do what you want. You can give this code a try. This just adds up all of
the batch ticket amounts. Here it is:

using System.Xml;

XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader("FileExchange.xml");
float batchTicketAmount = 0.0f;
bool batchTicketAmountStartElement = false;

while (reader.Read())
{
switch (reader.NodeType)
{
case XmlNodeType.Element: // The node is an element.
if (reader.Name == "BatchTktAmount")
{
batchTicketAmountStartElement = true;
}
break;
case XmlNodeType.Text: //Display the text in each element.
if (batchTicketAmountStartElement)
{
try
{
batchTicketAmount += float.Parse(reader.Value);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
}
break;
case XmlNodeType.EndElement: //Display the end of the element.
if (reader.Name == "BatchTktAmount")
batchTicketAmountStartElement = false;
break;
}
}

Console.WriteLine(batchTicketAmount);

Hello, I have an XML file generated from a third party application that I
would like to parse. Ideally, I plan on having a windows service setup to
scan various folders for XML files and parse the file, then spit out totals.

Since I haven't worked with XML too much in C#, I'm trying to develop a
structured and easy-to-read way to parse the file.

Essentially, I would like to read the file and add the "BatchTktAmountfor
any <Batchelements that may exist. There could be 1 or more...

As a verification, I may also want to add the <BATCH\Itemselements, there
could be 1 or more, and if <Genderis a credit "CR", accumulate totals for
credit items. If <Genderis a debit "DR", acculate totals for debit items.

Total items should equal the total batches.

I guess if I had relatively good XML parsing code, I could figure out how to
read the file in such a way to get the information. The real kicker for me
is the multiple batches and items.

Sample is below.

Any help would be appreciated

news:6B**********************************@microsof t.com...
Hello, I have an XML file generated from a third party application that I
would like to parse. Ideally, I plan on having a windows service setup to
scan various folders for XML files and parse the file, then spit out
totals.

Since I haven't worked with XML too much in C#, I'm trying to develop a
structured and easy-to-read way to parse the file.

Essentially, I would like to read the file and add the "BatchTktAmount>
for
any <Batchelements that may exist. There could be 1 or more...

As a verification, I may also want to add the <BATCH\Itemselements,
there
could be 1 or more, and if <Genderis a credit "CR", accumulate totals
for
credit items. If <Genderis a debit "DR", acculate totals for debit
items.

Total items should equal the total batches.

I guess if I had relatively good XML parsing code, I could figure out how
to
read the file in such a way to get the information. The real kicker for
me
is the multiple batches and items.

Sample is below.

Any help would be appreciated

You're welcome. Accumulating the items should be easy. You just do
everything in the same while() loop. Just look at how I looked for the
BatchTktAmount Element. You would just take that same approach to look for
the Item Element. That is, set a boolean so that you know that tag has
started. Then, check your boolean to see if you are in an Item Element. If
you are, then set another boolean once you are in a Gender Element. If the
XmlNodeType is Text, then check if you are in a Gender Element by checking
your boolean. If the Gender text matches "DR", then set another boolean that
you are in a DR Gender Element... otherwise set your DR Gender Element
boolean to false.

Now, if you are in an Item Element, check if you are in an Amount element.
If you are, then set another boolean. If the XmlNodeType is Text, then check
if you are in an Amount Element by checking your boolean. If you are, then
check your boolean for DR Gender Element. If true, then add to your Credit
total, otherwise add to your Debit total.

That's it.

For my previous example, you can do the same thing with LINQ for XML in .NET
3.5 with the following code:
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;

double batchTicketAmount = 0.0d;

XDocument loaded = XDocument.Load("FileExchange.xml");
var q = (from b in loaded.Descendants("Batch")
select (double)b.Element("BatchTktAmount")).Sum(rec =rec);
batchTicketAmount = (double)q;
Once again, it would be trivial to add up all the Item Elements as well, but
you would need to know a bit of LINQ to do so.

Hi David,

Tim provided some suggestion about using XmlTextReader, that is quite good
for memory restricted condition since it avoid loading the envire XML
document into memory. If memory is not the problem, and you have ample
memory to hold the entire XMLdocument, you can consider load the file into
XmlDocument and than perform XPath query to get all the expected
elements/nodes. Here are some good articles introducing execute Xpath query
via .NET xml document or xpath navigator classes:

#.NET and XML: XPath Queries
http://www.developer.com/xml/article.php/3383961

#Easily navigate XML with VB.NET and XPath
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com...1-5035074.html

#INFO: Roadmap for Executing XPath Queries in .NET Applications
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313828

for your sample xml file here, I've written a simple console app to
demonstrate how to query all the batch elements(and its inner tktamount and
all the items ...)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Run_DOM();
}
static void Run_DOM()
{
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(@"..\..\data.xml");
//query all batches...
XmlNodeList batches = doc.SelectNodes("//Batches/Batch");

if(batches!= null)
foreach (XmlNode batch in batches)
{
//for each batch, get Nbr and TktAmount
XmlNode Nbr = batch.SelectSingleNode("./BatchNbr");
XmlNode Amount =
batch.SelectSingleNode("./BatchTktAmount");

Console.WriteLine("######BatchNbr:{0},
BatchTktAmount:{1}#######",
Nbr.InnerText, Amount.InnerText);

//query items of the batch
Console.WriteLine("\tItems:");
XmlNodeList items = batch.SelectNodes("./Items/Item");

foreach (XmlNode item in items)
{
XmlNode isn = item.SelectSingleNode("./ISN");
XmlNode amt = item.SelectSingleNode("./Amount");

Console.WriteLine("\t\tISN:{0}, Amount:{1}"
, isn.InnerText, amt.InnerText);

}

}

}
}
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Also, I saw that in Tim's new reply, he mentioned the X-LINQ
feature(provided in .NET 3.5). That is a new XML DOM based processing API
which can do the same thing as the above DOM code(but with different api
and syntax), if you have interests, you can also have a look at LINQ/LINQ
TO XML over MSDN:

#NET Language-Integrated Query for XML Data
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb308960.aspx

Hope this also helps.
