Using LinQ to XML its very easy to query the Xml files and traverse through the nodes and elements.
Here is one simple exaple to read the configuration XML file
bellow is my simple XML configuration file
Then here is the simple class to load the XML file
class ConfigElements
{
public string ServerMain { get; set; }
public string ServerVM { get; set; }
public string ClientMain { get; set; }
public string ClientVM { get; set; }
public string LatestBuild { get; set; }
public ConfigElements(XElement xElement)
{
ServerMain = xElement.Element("ServerMain").Value;
ServerVM = xElement.Element("ServerVM").Value;
ClientMain = xElement.Element("ClientMain").Value;
ClientVM = xElement.Element("ClientVM").Value;
LatestBuild = xElement.Element("LatestBuild").Value;
}
public ConfigElements(string ID)
{
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load("XMLFile2.xml");
var query = from xElem in doc.Descendants("Automation")
where xElem.Attribute("ID").Value ==ID
select new ConfigElements(xElem);
}
}
By creating the object of this class we will get all the reqired nodes
ConfigElements objConfigElements = new ConfigElements("1");
//pass here the Id of the requied values
string s= objConfigElements.ServerMain;
string t = objConfigElements.ServerVM;
string u = objConfigElements.ClientMain;
string v = objConfigElements.ClientVM;
string w = objConfigElements.LatestBuild;
