Two Deep XML?

[Harry Whitehouse]

I have some code which creates an XML output like this:

< Product>

<Product ID>1</ProductID

<ProductValue>5.00</ProductVaue>

</Product>

< Product>

<Product ID>2</ProductID

<ProductValue>10.00</ProductVaue>

</Product>

Here it is:

newElem = doc.CreateElement("Product");

childElem = doc.CreateElement("ProductID");

childElem.AppendChild(doc.CreateTextNode(ProductID .ToString()));

newElem.AppendChild(childElem);

childElem = doc.CreateElement("ProductName");

childElem.AppendChild(doc.CreateTextNode(productna me));

newElem.AppendChild(childElem);

I now want to add one more level of depth to my XML so that the output is like this (new stuff in bold):

< Product>

<Product ID>1</ProductID

<ProductValue>5.00</ProductVaue>

<Discount>

<QtyLow>1</QtyLow><QtyHigh>5</QtyHigh><Value>5%</Value>

</Discount>

<Discount>

<QtyLow>6</QtyLow><QtyHigh>10</QtyHigh><Value>10%</Value>

</Discount>

</Product>

But I'm drawing a blank as how to code this. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Hello!

But I'm drawing a blank as how to code this. Can anyone steer me in the
right direction?

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
XmlElement product = doc.CreateElement("Product");
XmlElement discount = doc.CreateElement("Discount");
XmlElement qtylow = doc.CreateElement("QtyLow");
qtylow.AppendChild( doc.CreateTextNode("1") );
discount.AppendChild(qtylow);
product.AppendChild(discount);
doc.AppendChild(product);
All Elements, regardless where they are added into the tree are created
using the XmlDocument.CreateXXX-Methods. You can then add the nodes you
created like this to any other XmlElement created from the same XmlDocument.
It does not matter if you use doc.AppendChild(product) before or after
adding the child-Elements of <product />, the code could also look like
this:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
XmlElement product = doc.CreateElement("Product");
doc.AppendChild(product);
XmlElement discount = doc.CreateElement("Discount");
product.AppendChild(discount);
XmlElement qtylow = doc.CreateElement("QtyLow");
discount.AppendChild(qtylow);
qtylow.AppendChild( doc.CreateTextNode("1") );
