How can I get A XML file In Windows Mobile 6.o using C#?

[Kapil Choubisa]

I m new in developing windows mobile.
I am facing a problem to getting a xml file in code.

I have a XML file named trial.xml in the same folder where the application's executable exist.

Iused the following Code

 XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument();
            xd.Load("trial.xml");

It does not worked then I used

xd.Load("trial.xml");
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader("trial.xml");
XmlNodeList nodelst;
nodelst = XmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("detail");

It also not worked.
There is a error Occurs that directory or file not found.

Can anybody give me the solution of this Problem.


I hope you will help me.

Thanx in Advance

Hey, this is one of my favourite ways to rip through XML in c#

XmlDocument xmlFile = new XmlDocument();
            xmlFile .Load(@"\My Documents\myXML.xml");
            XmlNodeList nodeList = xmlFile.GetElementsByTagName("resources");
            foreach (XmlElement elem in nodeList)
            {
                foreach (XmlElement elem2 in elem.ChildNodes)
                {
                  //.... do all your stuff here or loop more!

Hi!, markmcgookin

I had tried your suggestion but I not works in Windows Mobile Application.
Can you give me this in Windows Mobile SDK6.0

Kapil,

That was copied and pasted from a Windows Mobile 5/6 project.

What is the error/problem that you are getting?

EDIT: Oh I just saw in your original post that it can't find/access the file. Are you SURE that the file is in the local directory on the PDA? ... i.e. "Program Files/YourApplication/Trial.xml" You should check on the device to make sure that the file is there. Try manually copying the file into My Documents/Business on the PDA then change this line in the code I sent code

xmlFile .Load(@"\My Documents\Business\trial.xml");

This was taken from MSDN when I googled "c# mobile application path":

path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase);
 

Then try:

xmlFile .Load(path + @"\trial.xml");
 

Hope this helps.

Thank You to all.
But I got the solution.
I had placed that file in my application's folder. So its not getting in Mobile emulator.

After all trying what ever you suggest me I place that file in SD Card and than Write the direct path I got the file.

XmlDocument Xdoc=new XmlDocument();
Xdoc.Load("\\Storage Card\\trial.xml");
 

It returns me the file.
But first I have to configure my emulators shared folder.

Yeah, if you right click the file in VS2008 and make sure that in Build Options it is set to "Copy Always" over to the device
