Modifying xml

[veenna]

hi all,

I am very new to xml and LINQ.
i have an xml as follows

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>
<Purchase_Info>
<Purchase_Order_Proposal>
    <Purchase_Order_Proposal id='1'>pop1</Purchase_Order_Proposal>
    <Purchase_Order_Proposal id='2'>pop2</Purchase_Order_Proposal>
    <Purchase_Order_Proposal id='3'>pop3</Purchase_Order_Proposal>
    <Purchase_Order_Proposal id='4'>pop4</Purchase_Order_Proposal>
    <Purchase_Order_Proposal id='5'>pop5</Purchase_Order_Proposal>
    <Purchase_Order_Proposal id='6'>pop6</Purchase_Order_Proposal>
  </Purchase_Order_Proposal>
 
  <Purchase_Order>
    <Purchase_Order id='1'>po1</Purchase_Order>
    <Purchase_Order id='2'>po2</Purchase_Order>
    <Purchase_Order id='3'>po3</Purchase_Order>
    <Purchase_Order id='4'>po4</Purchase_Order>
    <Purchase_Order id='5'>po5</Purchase_Order>
    <Purchase_Order id='6'>po6</Purchase_Order>
  </Purchase_Order>
</Purchase_Info>  
 

And i am using linq for reading the xml. Here is my code for reading xml

string filePath = “C:\\allFields.xml";
 
            System.IO.StreamReader streamReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(filePath);
            string strFileContent = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
            XDocument xDocument = XDocument.Parse(strFileContent);
 
var listArray = from g in xDocument.Descendants().Descendants("Purchase_Info")
                            select new
                            {
                                fields = g.Element("Purchase_Order_Proposal").Value
                            };
 
 
            foreach (var itm in listArray)
            {
                var fields = itm.fields.Trim();                
            }
 

When i am reading the xml i am getting only the first value from the xml (i.e. pop1) but i want the six items in a list.

how to get the six items in a single list. and is that xml valid?

please help..

you always overwrite your fields variable in the foreach loop.

hai dormilich,

Thank you replying..

Instead of over writting how to add it to a list?

I have no idea, since I don’t know that programming language.

in PHP you could do

foreach ($listArray as $itm) 
{
    $fields .= trim($itm->fields);
}

@veenna
What are you trying to achieve? Simple get the 6 elements 'Purchase_Order_Proposal' ?

If so just write this lines.

 XDocument xDocument = XDocument.Load("PurchaseInfoXml.xml");
 
            var purchaseOrderProposals = xDocument.Descendants("Purchase_Order_Proposal");
