- Create a xml file with following structure.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Errors>
<Error voucherId="1" message="Issues while saving data"/>
<Error voucherId="1" message="Transaction Blocked"/>
<Error voucherId="1" message="Account is Closed"/>
<Error voucherId="3" message="This voucher has minumum balance."/>
<Error voucherId="3" message="Some errors occured while saving the voucher."/>
</Errors>
- Make sure your code file has following references
using System.Linq;
using System.Xml.Linq;
- Open Visual Studio 2008 and create a new console application. Write following code on the program.cs file.
/// <summary>
/// Class to represent an error message. You can have similar class to represent your data
/// </summary>
public class Error
{
public string VoucherId { get; set; }
public string ErrorMessage { get; set; }
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Load XML document on to XDocument object
XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load("../../ErrorMessages.xml");
//Query the XML document and read all the "Error" element. Prepare a list of Error class from the returned data
List<Error> errorCollection = (from errors in xdoc.Descendants("Error")
where errors.Attribute("voucherId").Value=="1"
select new Error
{
VoucherId = errors.Attribute("voucherId").Value,
ErrorMessage = errors.Attribute("message").Value
}
).ToList<Error>();
//Loop through the returned collection and output the result.
foreach (Error e in errorCollection)
{
Console.WriteLine("Voucher Id: " + e.VoucherId);
Console.WriteLine("Error Message: " + e.ErrorMessage);
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
- Execute this console application and it will print the selected nodes from xml
