I am writing an XML menu structure.
I have the following XML file
<MenuItems>
<Item>
<Name>Homepa5ge</Name>
<URL>/index.aspx</URL>
<Alt>Return to homepage</Alt>
<Image>/images/navLocationOff.jpg</Image>
<MouseOver>/images/navLocationOn.jpg</MouseOver>
<SubMenu>
<SubItem name="sub1">
<LinkText>Item 1</LinkText>
<LinkURL>www.page.com</LinkURL>
</SubItem>
<SubItem name="sub2">
<LinkText>Item 2</LinkText>
<LinkURL>www.page2.com</LinkURL>
</SubItem>
</SubMenu>
</Item>
<Item>
<Name>NextLink</Name>
<URL>/index.aspx</URL>
<Alt>Go somewhere else</Alt>
<Image>/images/navLocationOff.jpg</Image>
<MouseOver>/images/navLocationOn.jpg</MouseOver>
</Item>
</MenuItems>
I have read the xml file into a dataset using the following code and I
have managed to loop through the parent xml nodes.
menuDS.ReadXML("menu.xml");
foreach (DataTable dt in menuDS.Tables)
{
foreach (DataRow dr in menuDS.Tables[0].Rows)
{
//draw parent node
string name = dr["Name"].ToString();
string url = dr["URL"].ToString();
string alt = dr["Alt"].ToString();
string image = dr["Image"].ToString();
string mouseover = dr["MouseOver"].ToString();
//create new href
HtmlAnchor a = new HtmlAnchor();
a.Name = name;
a.HRef = url;
a.Title = alt;
//Need another for loop here to draw child <SubItem> of <item>
in the xml file
}
}
In the above code.. I dont not know how to get access to the child
items to draw the submenu. Usualy.. dr.GetChildRows(relationShip) but
I dont know how to access or create the relationship.
Please help
