Hello All,
I have the following XML document : (for ease of understanding i am just
posting a part of it)
Base XML
------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROOT>
<REPLY>DRAWLIST _INFO_REQUEST</REPLY>
<DECLARE_PREF IX xmlns:ENC="http ://www.syswareinc. com/ENCOUNTR"
xmlns:SPECIMEN= "http://www.syswareinc. com/SPECLOG">
<ACCESSION>
<ENC:NUMBER>589 67</ENC:NUMBER>
<SPECIMEN>
<SPECIMEN:SPECI MENID><![CDATA[S0656363XX1]]></SPECIMEN:SPECIM ENID>
<SPECIMEN:SPECS TATUS><![CDATA[Collection
Pending]]></SPECIMEN:SPECST ATUS>
</SPECIMEN>
<ENC:STATUS>< ![CDATA[Waiting for Specimen]]></ENC:STATUS>
</ACCESSION>
</DECLARE_PREFIX>
</ROOT>
This is the base xml. After some processing on the client side, the status
of the specimen is changed and for this we get a xml file from the server.
The contents of the xml file sent by the server is as follows :
Reply from server with updated specimen status - Reply XML
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<ROOT>
<DECLARE_PREF IX xmlns:ENC="http ://www.syswareinc. com/ENCOUNTR"
xmlns:SPECIMEN= "http://www.syswareinc. com/SPECLOG">
<ACCESSION>
<ENC:NUMBER>589 67</ENC:NUMBER>
<SPECIMEN>
<SPECIMEN:SPECI MENID><![CDATA[S0656363XX1]]></SPECIMEN:SPECIM ENID>
<SPECIMEN:SPECS TATUS><![CDATA[Collected]]></SPECIMEN:SPECST ATUS>
</SPECIMEN>
<ENC:STATUS>< ![CDATA[Waiting for Specimen]]></ENC:STATUS>
</ACCESSION>
</DECLARE_PREFIX>
</ROOT>
The reply xml is read and the ACCESSION tag and it's childnodes are taken
into a XmlNodelist. This XmlNodelist is passed as a parameter in the
UpdateXML method. In this method, the ENC:NUMBER is matched and the base xml
is updated with the contents of the xml file got from the server. Following
code shows how we do this :
Public Sub ReadCollections Xml()
Dim LOC_XML_Documen t As XmlDocument
Dim LOC_RootElement As XmlElement
Dim LOC_XMLNode_Acc ession As XmlNodeList = Nothing
LOC_XML_Documen t = New XmlDocument
LOC_XML_Documen t.Load(Reply XML)
LOC_RootElement =
CType(LOC_XML_D ocument.Documen tElement.Item(" DECLARE_PREFIX" ), XmlElement)
LOC_XMLNode_Acc ession = LOC_RootElement .GetElementsByT agName("ACCESSI ON")
If Not IsNothing(LOC_X MLNode_Accessio n) Then
UpdateXML(LOC_X MLNode_Accessio n)
End If
End Sub
Public Sub UpdateXML(ByVal AccessionsToBeU pdated As XmlNodeList)
Dim LOC_XML_Documen t As New XmlDocument
Dim LOC_RootElement As XmlElement
Dim LOC_XMLNodeList As XmlNodeList
Dim LOC_NodeItem As XmlNode
Dim LOC_EachItem As Integer = 0
Dim LOC_EachAccessi on As Integer = 0
Dim LOC_XMLNode_Acc ession As XmlNode
LOC_XML_Documen t.Load(Base XML)
'Referring to the Root node
LOC_RootElement = LOC_XML_Documen t.DocumentEleme nt
'XML node list to store all available accession number
LOC_XMLNodeList = LOC_RootElement .GetElementsByT agName("ENC:NUM BER")
'To visit each item of node list
For LOC_EachItem = 0 To AccessionsToBeU pdated.Count - 1
'To store each node
LOC_NodeItem = LOC_XML_Documen t.CreateNode(Xm lNodeType.Eleme nt,
"ACCESSION" , String.Empty)
'To assign content
LOC_NodeItem.In nerXml = AccessionsToBeU pdated.Item(LOC _EachItem).Inne rXml
For LOC_EachAccessi on = 0 To LOC_XMLNodeList .Count - 1
'To store each accession node from login XML
LOC_XMLNode_Acc ession = LOC_XMLNodeList .Item(LOC_EachA ccession)
'To check for the accession number
If
LOC_XMLNode_Acc ession.InnerTex t.Equals(LOC_No deItem.ChildNod es(0).InnerText )
Then
'Replacing the <ACCESSIONtag
LOC_XMLNode_Acc ession.ParentNo de.ParentNode.R eplaceChild(LOC _NodeItem,
LOC_XMLNode_Acc ession.ParentNo de)
'Exiting from the inner loop
Exit For
End If
Next
Next
'Disposing the node list
LOC_XMLNodeList = Nothing
'Saving the updated xml file
LOC_XML_Documen t.Save(E_XML_FI LEPATH & GLO_DRAWLIST_XM L_NAME)
End Sub
This process is working absolutely fine but the problem is that after the
ReplaceChild method is called, the namespaces also get inserted in the tags
as shown below :
Base xml after the updation process
------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROOT>
<DECLARE_PREF IX xmlns:ENC="http ://www.syswareinc. com/ENCOUNTR"
xmlns:SPECIMEN= "http://www.syswareinc. com/SPECLOG">
<ACCESSION>
<ENC:NUMBER
xmlns:ENC="http ://www.syswareinc. com/ENCOUNTR">58967 </ENC:NUMBER>
<SPECIMEN>
<SPECIMEN:SPECI MENID
xmlns:SPECIMEN= "http://www.syswareinc. com/SPECLOG"><![CDATA[S0656363XX1]]></SPECIMEN:SPECIM ENID>
<SPECIMEN:SPECS TATUS
xmlns:SPECIMEN= "http://www.syswareinc. com/SPECLOG"><![CDATA[Collected]]></SPECIMEN:SPECST ATUS>
</SPECIMEN>
<ENC:STATUS
xmlns:ENC="http ://www.syswareinc. com/ENCOUNTR"><![CDATA[Waiting for
Specimen]]></ENC:STATUS>
</ACCESSION>
</DECLARE_PREFIX>
</ROOT>
Can anyone please guide me as i don't want the namespaces to be inserted as
attributes of the tags ? Looking forward to your response.
