How to read parts of XML in c# and write it across

[cmrhema]

Hi,
I have an XML file which has lots of values as below, placing just sample

    <Entries>
      <Application1>
        <key>12</key>
        <alerts>res12 ### test</alerts>
      </Application1>
      <Application2>
        <key>13</key>
        <alerts>res 13 ### test</alerts>
      </Application2>
 
 
    </Entries>
 

For sample I have showed just two values, I have hundred of such data, which I have parse and throw an entry in the Event viewer.
Event viewer consists of key id and the description (alerts)

I have captured the event viewer part. But I have to split "Application1" in one alert and "Application2" in an another alert.

My program is straight forward

     XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(@"C:\Examples\tivolialert\Tivoli.xml");
                string skey = string.Empty;
                string salert = string.Empty;
                int intkey = 0;
                reader.Read();
                while (reader.Read())
                {
 
                    if (reader.Name == "key")
                    {
                        skey = reader.ReadString();
                    }
 
                    if (reader.Name == "Alert")
                    {
                        salert = reader.ReadString();
                        bool result = Int32.TryParse(skey, out intkey);
                        EventLog.WriteEntry("Some source", salert, EventLogEntryType.Error, intkey);
 
                    }
 
                }
 
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
 

I have only one hurdle, I need to capture Application wise, i.e. if its Application1 then the source ("Some source") will be different, if its Application2 the source will be different.
How do I figure it out?

at line#8 (untested)

if (left(reader.Name,11)=='Application') {
    currentApp=reader.Name
}
 

Now you can pick a value for "Some source" based on the value of currentApp....
