Problem creating XML file...

[Ferrari, Eduardo]

Hi all!

I'm trying to create this XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Build type="Daily" sync="True" compile="True" assemble="True" >

<Sync version="1.0.0. 0" branch="QA">
<Directories basePath="//OpicsPlus/Source/Release" />
</Sync>
</Build>

For this, I'm trying to use the code below:

private static BuildConfigurat ion SaveXML(XmlDocu ment xml, string fileName)
{
// Creates the nodelist
XmlNodeList nodeList;
XmlElement user = xml.DocumentEle ment;
nodeList = user.SelectNode s("//Build");

// Clear all the node
user.RemoveAll( );
xml.Save(fileNa me);

// Creates a new element for the build configuration
XmlElement xmlBuild = xml.CreateEleme nt("//Build");
xml.DocumentEle ment.AppendChil d(xmlBuild);

// Navigates to this node
xml.SelectSingl eNode("//Build");

xml.CreateAttri bute("type");
xml.CreateAttri bute("sync");
xml.CreateAttri bute("compile") ;
xml.CreateAttri bute("assemble" );

// Set the attribute values for the build configuration
xmlBuild.SetAtt ribute("type", BuildType);
xmlBuild.SetAtt ribute("sync", BuildSync.ToStr ing());
xmlBuild.SetAtt ribute("compile ", BuildCompile.To String());
xmlBuild.SetAtt ribute("assembl e", BuildAssemble.T oString());

// Navigates to this node
xml.SelectSingl eNode("//Build");

// Creates a new element for the sync configuration
XmlElement xmlSync = xml.CreateEleme nt("Sync");
xml.DocumentEle ment.AppendChil d(xmlSync);
xml.CreateAttri bute("version") ;
xml.CreateAttri bute("branch");

// Set the attribute values for the sync configuration
xmlSync.SetAttr ibute("version" , SyncVersion);
xmlSync.SetAttr ibute("branch", SyncBranch);

// Navigates to this node
xml.SelectSingl eNode("//Build/Sync");

// Creates a new element for the sync configuration
XmlElement xmlSyncDir = xml.CreateEleme nt("Directories ");
xml.DocumentEle ment.AppendChil d(xmlSync);

// Set the attribute values for the sync configuration
xmlSyncDir.SetA ttribute("baseP ath", SyncBasePath);

xml.Save(fileNa me);
return null;
}

But it's creating like this:

<Build>
<Build type="Daily" sync="True" compile="True" assemble="True" >

<Sync version="1.0.0. 0" branch="QA">
<Directories basePath="//OpicsPlus/Source/Release" />
</Sync>
</Build>
</Build>

Anybody knows how can I remove everything and start from scratch ?

Thanks!

Eduardo

Hi all

Please read this line:

// Creates a new element for the build configuration
XmlElement xmlBuild = xml.CreateEleme nt("Build");
xml.DocumentEle ment.AppendChil d(xmlBuild);

Instead of

// Creates a new element for the build configuration
XmlElement xmlBuild = xml.CreateEleme nt("//Build");
xml.DocumentEle ment.AppendChil d(xmlBuild);

Thanks!

If you want to remove the DocumentElement from the document then do
xml.DocumentEle ment.ParentNode .RemoveChild(xm l.DocumentEleme nt);
Then create a new element e.g.
XmlElement element = xml.CreateEleme nt("Build");
element.SetAttr ibute("type", "Daily");
// set other attributes the same way
// then append element to document
xml.AppendChild (element);
// then create next element
XmlElement element1 = xml.CreateEleme nt("Sync");
element1.SetAtt ribute("version ", "1.0.0.0");
// set other attributes the same way
// then append element as needed e.g.
element.AppendC hild(element1);

With the DOM you need to do two steps, first create a node (Create...),
then insert it into another node (AppendChild (or InsertBefore)).

Hi Thanks!

Almost worked!

It blew up when tryed to add the new attribute:

// Remove the root DocumentElement from the document
xml.DocumentEle ment.ParentNode .RemoveChild(xm l.DocumentEleme nt);

// Create a new element for the build configuration
XmlElement xmlBuild = xml.CreateEleme nt("Build");
xmlBuild.SetAtt ribute("type", BuildType);
xmlBuild.SetAtt ribute("sync", BuildSync.ToStr ing());
xmlBuild.SetAtt ribute("compile ", BuildCompile.To String());
xmlBuild.SetAtt ribute("assembl e", BuildAssemble.T oString());

// Append element to document
xml.AppendChild (xmlBuild);

// Creates a new element for the sync configuration
XmlElement xmlSync = xml.CreateEleme nt("Sync");

// Set the attribute values for the sync configuration
xmlSync.SetAttr ibute("version" , SyncVersion);
xmlSync.SetAttr ibute("branch", SyncBranch);

// Append element to document
xml.AppendChild (xmlSync); <--- BLOWS UP HERE

Hi

I solved the error using:

// Append element to document
xml.DocumentEle ment.AppendChil d(xmlSync);

But, still is not in the format that I want...

<Sync version="1.0.0. 0" branch="QA">
<Directories basePath="Opics Plus\Source\Rel ease1.0.0.0\QA" all="true" />
</Sync>

It's writing like this:

<Build type="System" sync="True" compile="True" assemble="True" >
<Sync version="1.0.0. 0" branch="QA" />
<Directories basePath="//OpicsPlus/Source/Release" />
</Build>

That is not what I have shown you, my post had

XmlElement element = xml.CreateEleme nt("Build");
element.SetAttr ibute("type", "Daily");
// set other attributes the same way
// then append element to document
xml.AppendChild (element);
// then create next element
XmlElement element1 = xml.CreateEleme nt("Sync");
element1.SetAtt ribute("version ", "1.0.0.0");
// set other attributes the same way
// then append element as needed e.g.
element.AppendC hild(element1);

you need to call AppendChild on the node into which you want to insert
the node passed as an argument so in your case you want

xmlBuild.Append Child(xmlSync);

Alright!

Now worked. Sorry I messed up!
