THis is exactly the XML that i receive and that's the envelope that i will have to create (Request generated by SOAPUI),the nodes will have dynamic Values of course, those parameteres were just an example.
i assume this is the easiest way since i can't "add service reference" because i am trying to develop a DLL where the webservices will be nested. There's no web.config where this DLL is going to be installed.
Thank you soo much for helping me with the logic for this problem that is driving me crazy

Using xml linq :
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using System.IO;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
const string FILENAME = #"c:\temp\test.xml";
static void Main(string[] args)
{
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(FILENAME);
reader.ReadLine(); // skip the utf-16 in header that Net Library doesn't accept
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(reader);
string soapHeader = "<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\" xmlns:csdb=\"http://site.de/csdb\">" +
"<soapenv:Header/>" +
"<soapenv:Body>" +
"</soapenv:Body>" +
"</soapenv:Envelope>";
XElement soap = XElement.Parse(soapHeader);
XNamespace nsCsdb = soap.GetNamespaceOfPrefix("csdb");
XNamespace nsSoapenv = soap.GetNamespaceOfPrefix("soapenv");
XElement body = soap.Descendants(nsSoapenv + "Body").FirstOrDefault();
body.Add(doc.Root);
foreach (XElement child in body.Descendants())
{
child.Name = nsCsdb.GetName(child.Name.LocalName);
List<XAttribute> atList = child.Attributes().ToList();
child.Attributes().Remove();
foreach (XAttribute at in atList)
child.Add(new XAttribute(nsCsdb.GetName(at.Name.LocalName), at.Value));
}
}
}
}

Sum same named xml nodes

I have edited this little MSDN example https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/311530
And I have the following 2 XML's
Book1.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<catalog>
<book1 id="1" />
<bookSum number="1" />
</catalog>
Book2.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<catalog>
<book2 id="2" />
<bookSum number="1" specialAttribute="123" />
</catalog>
C# Code
XmlReader xmlreader1 = XmlReader.Create(#"C:\Book1.xml");
XmlReader xmlreader2 = XmlReader.Create(#"C:\book2.xml");
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml(xmlreader1);
DataSet ds2 = new DataSet();
ds2.ReadXml(xmlreader2);
ds.Merge(ds2);
ds.WriteXml(#"C:\Merge.xml");
Console.WriteLine("Completed merging XML documents");
Merge.xml (Book1.xml + Book2.xml)
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<catalog>
<book1 id="1" />
<bookSum number="1" />
<bookSum number="1" specialAttribute="x" />
<book2 id="2" />
</catalog>
And the question is
how to join
<bookSum number="1" />
<bookSum number="1" specialAttribute="123" />
into one line ?
<bookSum number="2" specialAttribute="123" />

I did it this way and is working:
var doc = XDocument.Load(#"C:\Book1.xml");
doc.Root.Add(XDocument.Load(#"C:\Book2.xml").Root.Elements()); // merged
var sum = doc.Descendants("bookSum").Attributes("number").Sum(t => int.Parse(t.Value));
var xElement = new XElement("bookSum", new XAttribute("number", sum));
foreach(var attrib in doc.Descendants("bookSum").Attributes())
{
if (xElement.Attribute(attrib.Name) == null)
xElement.Add(attrib);
}
doc.Descendants("bookSum").ToList().ForEach(t => t.ReplaceWith(xElement));
doc.Root.Descendants("bookSum").First().Remove();
Console.WriteLine(doc);

DataSet ReadXml ignores the attributes with prefix

I have the following xml code which I want to read into a dataset:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<jlqn:Root xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:jlqn="http://jlqn/1.0">
<element xsi:type="jlqn:Processor" name="test1" processor="test">
<metadata name="Removed" value="False" />
<task id="6">
<entry id="8" entry="" />
</task>
</element>
<element xsi:type="jlqn:Processor" name="test1" processor="test" id="1">
<metadata name="Removed" value="True" />
<metadata name="Removed1" value="Removed1" />
</element>
<element xsi:type="jlqn:Processor" name="test1" processor="test" id="3">
<metadata name="Removed" value="False" />
<task id="45" name="">
<metadata />
<entry id="10" entry="">
<metadata />
</entry>
</task>
</element>
<element name="test" />
</jlqn:Root>
I use the following C# code
DataSet newTable = new DataSet();
newTable.ReadXml(#"F:\QVT\runtime-EclipseApplication\dr5\HJYU.jlqn");
But when I check the dataset , I notice all the attributes with prefix are not read ..such as this : xsi:type="jlqn:Processor"
what can I do ?

The XML references an namespace prefix "xsi", but it is not defined. Change the root element to:
<jlqn:Root xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:jlqn="http://jlqn/1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
Once I did this, I got the following tables and columns:
Root
Root_Id
version
element
element_Id
name
processor
id
Root_Id
metadata
name
value
element_Id
task
metadata
task_Id
id
name
element_Id
entry
metadata
id
entry
task_Id
That is the output from:
DataSet newTable = new DataSet();
newTable.ReadXml(#"XMLFile1.xml");
foreach(DataTable table in newTable.Tables)
{
Console.WriteLine(table.TableName);
foreach(DataColumn column in table.Columns)
{
Console.WriteLine(" " + column.ColumnName);
}
}

How to get/read data from the xml file in C# Windows application

I have my xml file in following format---

<ValueItem Position="11000" Value="30" />
</Items>
</Tag_1>
<Tag_2 Interpolation="true" DefaultSpacing="100">

<ValueItem Position="45000" Value="6" />
</Items>
</Tag_4>
and I wants to read/get the data from position and value and wants to store that data into the respective ArrayList but don't know how to do it. Please help

Dnyanesh.
To read XML-files you can use System.Xml inluded to .NET Framework.
It works a kind of this:
using System.Xml;
...
XmlDocument MyXmlFile = new XmlDocument();
MyXmlFile.LoadXml(PATH_TO_MY_XML);
// Using
XmlNode xmlValueItem = MyXmlFile.GetElementsByTagName("ValueItem")[0];
string position = xmlValueItem.Attributes["Position"].InnerText;
Google for System.Xml and XPath to work with XML documents.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml(Server.MapPath("~/Record7.xml"));
XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
Record.DataSource = ds;
Record.DataBind();
}

XmlDocument from google analytics to flat file c#

Using C# I have extracted data from Google Analytics Data API and have got it in an xmldocument. From that point I want to export it to flat file format (txt file). I am trying to use the xmlnode class to write out element attribute values within the 'entry' elements but cant do it. XML code below:

....so on.....
In the code below I need to change it to locate the entry elements, but can't find it. Using "/entry" yields nothing.
XmlNamespaceManager xmlnsm = new XmlNamespaceManager(xmld.NameTable);
xmlnsm.AddNamespace("dxp", "http://schemas.google.com/analytics/2009");
xmlnsm.AddNamespace("openSearch", "http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/");
xmlnsm.AddNamespace("gd", "http://schemas.google.com/g/2005");
foreach (XmlNode xmlnd in xmld.SelectNodes("//dxp:dimension", xmlnsm))
{
DimVal = xmlnd.Attributes["value"].Value.ToString();
DimName = xmlnd.Attributes["name"].Value.Replace("ga:", "");
// ...
}
I could be missing a namespace. Can anyone please help me out?

XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Load(fileToLoad); //or XDocument.Parse(xmlString)
XNamespace dxp = "http://schemas.google.com/analytics/2009";
XNamespace ns = "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";
var result =
xDoc.Descendants(ns + "entry")
.Select(e => new
{
Dimension = e.Descendants(dxp + "dimension")
.ToDictionary(d => d.Attribute("name").Value, d => d.Attribute("value").Value),
Metric = e.Descendants(dxp + "metric")
.ToDictionary(d => d.Attribute("name").Value, d => d.Attribute("value").Value)
})
.ToList();
Print the result:
foreach(var entry in result)
{
foreach (var dim in entry.Dimension)
Console.WriteLine(dim.Key + " = " + dim.Value);
Console.WriteLine();
foreach (var met in entry.Metric)
Console.WriteLine(met.Key + " = " + met.Value);
Console.WriteLine("---------------");
}

If you're just interested in getting all of the dxp:dimension elements you could use
GetElementsByTagName("dimension", "http://schemas.google.com/analytics/2009")
instead of
SelectNodes("//dxp:dimension", xmlnsm)
If you're intent on using SelectNodes, I think you need another / ("///dxp:dimension").
Specifically for your case you can do:
foreach(XmlElement ele in xmld.GetElementsByTagName("element"))
{
foreach(XmlElement dim in ele.GetElementsByTagName("dimension", "http://schemas.google.com/analytics/2009")
{
// Do w/e w/ the element
}
foreach(XmlElement met in ele.GetElementsByTagName("metric", "http://schemas.google.com/analytics/2009")
{
// Do w/e w/ the element
}
}
