Hi,

Dim xmlstring As String = "http://localhost/log.xml"
Dim xmlreads As XmlTextReader = New XmlTextReader(xmlstring)
Dim id As Integer = 0
Try
While xmlreads.Read()
Select Case xmlreads.NodeType
Case XmlNodeType.Element
If InStr(xmlreads.Name, "id") > 0 Then
Response.Write(" " + xmlreads.Name + "='" +
xmlreads.Value + "'")
End If

End Select
End While
'Response.Write(id.ToString)
Catch es As Exception
If Not InStr(es.Message, "404") = 0 Then
Response.Write("File Not Found!!!!" & InStr(es.Message,
"404"))

Response.Write(InStr(es.Message, "404") & es.Message)
End If
End Try

Hi Arvind,

I haven't examined it deeply but a quick glance showed me:

The following element invalidates the Xml.
<id>1</logid>

You need
<id>1</id>

You have two sets of
<id>1</id>
<logdatetime>2002-05-30T09:00:00</logdatetime>
<eventtitle>New</eventtitle>
<eventdesc>adsadsadsad </eventdesc>
<eventby>arangan</eventby>

I think you might want these to enclosed within a further element:
<logevent>
<id>1</id>
<logdatetime>2002-05-30T09:00:00</logdatetime>
<eventtitle>New</eventtitle>
<eventdesc>adsadsadsad </eventdesc>
<eventby>arangan</eventby>

</logevent>

Regards,
Fergus

Hi Arvind
Beside the two errors Fergus did mention already, I changed your code a
little bit, you see the two changed line without the >t beneath,
I hope that gives the result you want?

Dim xmlstring As String = "http://localhost/log.xml"
Dim xmlreads As XmlTextReader = New XmlTextReader(xmlstring)
Dim id As Integer = 0
Try
While xmlreads.Read()
Select Case xmlreads.NodeType
Case XmlNodeType.Element
If InStr(xmlreads.Name, "id") > 0 Then
xmlreads.Read()
Response.Write(" " & "Id='" & xmlreads.Value
& "'")
End If
End Select

Hi Cor,
Thanks a lot i got it.
So this means that the identity tag and value tag are at two different level
and we need to moveto the next to reterive the value.

Thanks
Hope this kind of errors are marked.
