I have an application which sends messages to an external application. All data is submitted as a string in an Xml format specified by the other application, along with some custom elements we have added to assist in trouble shooting. The format is below
<AppName><Data> <![CDATA[our data goes here]]></Data><CustomFie ld1>field 1 data here</CustomField1><C ustomField2>fie ld 2 data here</CustomField2></AppName
Currently this Xml is being created dynamically each time a message is being sent, using an XmlTextWriter. What I would like to do is define the skeleton Xml once (when our component is first initialised), and simply set the element values and send this
I can see that I could do this with an XmlDocument, perhaps loading it from an Xml file when initialised, and then working on a Clone of the doc, and setting the value of each node by calling SelectSingleNod e for each
In some simple tests, the above is very slow. Does anyone have a better solution
Thanks for your hel

You can create a class (either by hands or using xsd.exe) and serialize
object of this class with values set using XmlSerializer instead.

Although xml serialization is the approach I take for all my business
objects, I sometimes use simple string substitution as I have seen done by
some applications also. I guess it depends on your requirement but if your
xml - assuming *string* - to be sent is not too big and you could just use
String.Format.
I usually don't do this for "objects" but for "formatted messages" where the
format is usually static and don't really require a lot of my classes to
manipulate during the course of processing. Usually one method takes an
object or some values and fills in the blanks for the message and sent.
Oleg,
do you see any issues with this kind of approach?

Well, the only issue with working with XML as with string is XML syntax
issue. It's a way easy to build a string, which isn't well-formed XML.
XML API, such as XmlDocument or XmlWriter help here a lot, so when
whoever doing this by hands (I mean not using XML API) should take care
of XML syntax details, such as escaping of < and & (CDATA helps here),
characters not allowed in XML, encoding etc. No big deal actually, but a
bit fragile stuff. You are right, it depends on requirements and
sometimes (usually simple cases) String.Format is just fine, sometimes -
not.

Hi there,
Can someone explain to me why I can't bind to an XmlDocument but I can bind
to an XmlNodeList. It's my understanding that they both implement the
IEnumerable interface which is required for databinding. Am happy to work
with the XmlNodeList but I can't shake the feeling I'm missing something
