I have an XML file formated as this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<settings>
<databaseServer >Dell5100</databaseServer>
<defaultDatabas e>bene</defaultDatabase >
</settings>
relateively simple file... I want to be able to say which attribute of the
settings group I want to read in a settings read function and return it...
how would i do this? below is the code I have so far, but it requires an
index of the node to read.. how would i specify that i want the database
server item or the defaultdatabase item? i cant by index since im asking for
it by a string value ... here is my code i have, any help would be nice,
thanks!
' reads a setting from xml settings file
Public Shared Function ReadSetting(ByV al settingName As String) As String
Try
' I want to find the attribute named with the name specified in settingname
and return it to the user out of the settings group of the XML file
XMLDocument = New XmlDocument
XMLDocument.Loa d(bdb.applicati onPath & "\benesettings. xml")
XMLNode = XMLDocument.Sel ectSingleNode("/settings")
Debug.WriteLine ("XML READ: " & XMLNode.ChildNo des.Item(0).Inn erText)
' here is where it wants the index... i put zero in for an example to test
the load but now i need to find the attribute value by the settingname
specified
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show ("XML Load Error" & ControlChars.Cr Lf & ex.Message)
End Try
End Function 4 1477
I just made a change and got this
Public Shared Function ReadSetting(ByV al settingName As String) As String
Try
XMLDocument = New XmlDocument
XMLDocument.Loa d(bdb.applicati onPath & "\benesettings. xml")
XMLNode = XMLDocument.Sel ectSingleNode("/settings/" & settingName)
Debug.WriteLine ("XML READ: " & XMLNode.InnerTe xt)
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show ("XML Load Error" & ControlChars.Cr Lf & ex.Message)
End Try
End Function
does that sound right to you guys? it seems to work for me... thanks!

Hi Brian,

Cor

Hi Brian,
Than try first the dataset methode.
(You have also the readxml and the loadxml, that are different xml
documents)
Start creating the dataset from your solution explorer by opening it, just
the same as a form.
And only use "elements".
You can read a dataset with dataset.readxml (file) and write it with
dataset.writexm l(file).
The advantage is that you have direct a table in your program when you use
it, which you can reach with every method from a dataset.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
