C# Foreach XML Node

c#, coordinates, grid, xml, xmltextreader

Solution

You might want to check into something like Linq-to-XML:

XDocument coordinates = XDocument.Load("yourfilename.xml");

foreach(var coordinate in coordinates.Descendants("coordinate"))
{
    string time = coordinate.Attribute("time").Value;

    string initial = coordinate.Element("initial").Value;
    string final = coordinate.Element("final").Value;

    // do whatever you want to do with those items of information now
}

That should be a lot easier than using straight low-level XmlTextReader....

See here or here (or a great many other places) for introductions to Linq-to-XML.

UPDATE:

please try this code - if it works, and you get all the coordinates in that resulting list, then the Linq-to-XML code is fine:

Define a new helper class:

public class Coordinate
{
    public string Time { get; set; }
    public string Initial { get; set; }
    public string Final { get; set; }
}

and in your main code:

XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load("C:\\test.xml");
IEnumerable<XElement> cords= xdoc.Descendants("coordinate");

var coordinates = cords
                  .Select(x => new Coordinate()
                                   {
                                      Time = x.Attribute("time").Value,
                                      Initial = x.Element("initial").Value,
                                      Final = x.Element("final").Value
                                    });

How does this list and its contents look like?? Do you get all the coordinates you're expecting??
