Here is my XML structure
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Projects xmlns="urn:projects-schema">
<Project>
<Name>Project1</Name>
<Images>
<Image Path="D:/abc.jpg"></Image>
</Images>
</Project>
</Projects>
I want to be able to Add a new Project Node though my code
And I want to be able to Create a new Image Node given a the Project Name
For the first task I have this so far:
try
{
var filename = Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/Projects.xml");
var doc = new XmlDocument();
if (System.IO.File.Exists(filename))
{
if (!ProjectExists(projectName))
{
doc.Load(filename);
var root = doc.DocumentElement;
var newElement = doc.CreateElement("Project");
root.AppendChild(newElement);
root = doc.DocumentElement;
newElement = doc.CreateElement("Name");
var textNode = doc.CreateTextNode(projectName);
root.LastChild.AppendChild(newElement);
root.LastChild.LastChild.AppendChild(textNode);
doc.Save(filename);
}
else
throw new ApplicationException("Project already exists");
doc = null;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
But I am struggling for the second part. This is what I have so far:
if (System.IO.File.Exists(projectFilename))
{
doc.Load(projectFilename);
XmlNode root = doc.DocumentElement;
XmlNamespaceManager nsManager = new XmlNamespaceManager(doc.NameTable);
nsManager.AddNamespace("prj", "urn:projects-schema");
root = root.SelectSingleNode("descendant::prj:Project[prj:Name='" + projectName + "']", nsManager);
}
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
XElement projects = XElement.Parse (
#"<Projects xmlns='urn:projects-schema'>
<Project>
<Name>Project1</Name>
<Images>
<Image Path='D:/abc.jpg'></Image>
</Images>
</Project>
</Projects>");
For Task 1, this can be done as follows:
projects.LastNode.AddAfterSelf(new XElement("Project",
new XElement("Name", "Project2"),
new XElement("Images",
new XElement("Image", "", new XAttribute("Path", "C:/abc.jpg"))
)));
Task 2:
projects.Descendants("Name")
.Where(x => x.Value == projectName).FirstOrDefault()
.AddAfterSelf(new XElement("Images",
new XElement("Image", "", new XAttribute("Path", "C:/def.jpg"))
)
);
EDIT: To check if an Images element exists and add a child Image element with an attribute to it
projects.Descendants("Project")
.Where(x => x.Elements("Images").Any())
.Descendants("Images").FirstOrDefault()
.Add(new XElement("Image", "", new XAttribute("Path", "D:/xyz.jpg")));

I have following code I want to use:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
XmlDeclaration xmlDeclaration = doc.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", "UTF-8", null);
XmlElement root = doc.DocumentElement;
doc.InsertBefore(xmlDeclaration, root);
WriteXmlFile("PartNew", doc);
}
public static void WriteXmlFile(string nextItem, XmlDocument doc)
{
XmlElement root = doc.DocumentElement;
XmlElement id = doc.CreateElement(nextItem);
id.SetAttribute("Part", nextItem);
doc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(id);
root.AppendChild(id);
}
The problem is that I am getting an error message saying that my DocumentElement is null. This is the line where I get the error message doc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(id);. I googled but I didn't find any similar case I have. What do I miss to get my code running?
Error message:
NullReferenceException on object DocumentElement
You do not create a root element.
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
XmlNode rootNode = doc.CreateElement("root");
doc.AppendChild(rootNode);
Instead of using XmlDocument and all those manipulations with adding XML declarations, you could use LINQ-aware XDocument:
var xml = new XDocument(
new XDeclaration("1.0","utf-8", "yes"),
new XElement("root",
new XElement("PartNew", new XAttribute("Part", "1"))));
Console.WriteLine(xml.Declaration.ToString() + "\n" + xml.ToString());
Output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<root>
<PartNew Part="1" />
</root>
You can apply LINQ to create elements:
var xml2 = new XDocument(
new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", "yes"),
new XElement("root",
from x in new[] {1, 2, 3}
select new XElement("PartNew", new XAttribute("Part", x))));
Console.WriteLine(xml2.Declaration.ToString() + "\n" + xml2.ToString());
Output:
<root>
<PartNew Part="1" />
<PartNew Part="2" />
<PartNew Part="3" />
</root>
I've got this XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<JMF SenderID="InkZone-Controller" Version="1.2">
<Command ID="cmd.00695" Type="Resource">
<ResourceCmdParams ResourceName="InkZoneProfile" JobID="K_41">
<InkZoneProfile ID="r0013" Class="Parameter" Locked="false" Status="Available" PartIDKeys="SignatureName SheetName Side Separation" DescriptiveName="Schieberwerte von DI" ZoneWidth="32">
<InkZoneProfile SignatureName="SIG1">
<InkZoneProfile Locked="False" SheetName="S1">
<InkZoneProfile Side="Front">
<ColorPool Class="Parameter" DescriptiveName="Colors for the job" Status="Available">
<InkZoneProfile Separation="PANTONE 647 C" ZoneSettingsX="0 0,003 " />
</ColorPool>
</InkZoneProfile>
</InkZoneProfile>
</InkZoneProfile>
</InkZoneProfile>
</ResourceCmdParams>
</Command>
</JMF>
I'm trying to add a node after a specific node() , using XElement and Linq. But my LINQ query always returns me null.
Tried this:
XElement InkZonePath = XmlDoc.Element("JMF").Elements("InkZoneProfile").Where(z => z.Element("InkZoneProfile").Attribute("Side").Value == "Front").SingleOrDefault();
And this:
XmlDoc.Element("JMF")
.Elements("InkZoneProfile").Where(InkZoneProfile => InkZoneProfile.Attribute("Side")
.Value == "Front").FirstOrDefault().AddAfterSelf(new XElement("InkZoneProfile",
new XAttribute("Separation", x.colorname),
new XAttribute("ZoneSettingsX", x.colorvalues)));
I've built this queries following those examples:
Select XElement where child element has a value
Insert XElements after a specific node
LINQ-to-XML XElement query NULL
But it didn't worked as expected. What is wrong with the LINQ Query ? From what i've read it should work (logically reading the expression i can understand it).
Thanks

The problem with your current code is here : Element("JMF").Elements("InkZoneProfile") Since InkZoneProfile is not a direct child of JMF it will not return anything. Use Descendants instead.
Check difference between Elements & Descendants.
This should give you correct result:-
XElement InkZonePath = xdoc.Element("JMF").Descendants("InkZoneProfile")
.SingleOrDefault(z => (string)z.Attribute("Side") == "Front")
After this you can add whatever node you want to add using AddAfterSelf. Also note I have used SingleOrDefault here, but you may get exception if you have multiple matching nodes with this, In that case consider using FirstOrDefault.
Update:
To add new node:-
if (InkZonePath != null)
{
InkZonePath.AddAfterSelf(new XElement("InkZoneProfile",
new XAttribute("Separation", "Test"),
new XAttribute("ZoneSettingsX", "Test2")));
}
//Save XDocument
xdoc.Save(#"C:\Foo.xml");
You need to use Descendants method instead Elements:
XElement InkZonePath = XmlDoc.Root.Descendants("InkZoneProfile").Where(z => (string)z.Attribute("Side") == "Front").SingleOrDefault();
if(InkZonePath !=null)
InkZonePath.AddAfterSelf(new XElement("InkZoneProfile",
new XAttribute("Separation", x.colorname),
new XAttribute("ZoneSettingsX", x.colorvalues)));
you can use Descendants instead.
var node = XmlDoc.Descendants("InkZoneProfile").Where(x=> x.Attribute("Side") !=null && x.Attribute("Side").Value == "Front").FirstorDefault();
How should I add X there in XElement ?
XDocument triggerDocument = new XDocument(
new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", null));
XElement triggerRoot = new XElement("config",
new XElement("maketool-config",
new XElement("hmi", new XElement("Messages",X))));
triggerDocument.Add(triggerRoot);
triggerDocument.Save(Path.Combine(outPath, "_triggers.xml"));
for (int i = 0; i <= events.Count; i++)
{
foreach (var item in events)
{
triggerRoot.Add(new XElement("n",
new XAttribute("page", item.page),
new XAttribute("sequence", item.sequence),
new XAttribute("priority", item.priority),
new XAttribute("errorText", item.errorText)
));
}
}
so it should look like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config schema ="sdk-hmi.xsd">
<maketool-config>
<hmi>
<messages>
<n page="" sequence="" priority="" errorText="" />
<n page="" sequence="" priority="" errorText="" />
<n page="" sequence="" priority="" errorText="" />
<n page="" sequence="" priority="" errorText="" />
<n page="" sequence="" priority="" errorText="" />
</messages>
</hmi>
</maketool-config>
</config>
You can pass an XElement[] or IEnumerable<XElement> to XElement's constructor:
var messages = events.Select(item => new XElement("n",
new XAttribute("page", item.page),
new XAttribute("sequence", item.sequence),
new XAttribute("priority", item.priority),
new XAttribute("errorText", item.errorText)
));
XDocument triggerDocument = new XDocument(
new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", null));
XElement triggerRoot = new XElement("config",
new XElement("maketool-config",
new XElement("hmi",
new XElement("Messages", messages))) // <<<--- This is the important part.
);
triggerDocument.Add(triggerRoot);
You can try this:
XDocument triggerDocument = new XDocument(
new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", null));
XElement triggerRoot = new XElement("config",
new XElement("maketool-config",
new XElement("hmi", new XElement("Messages"))));
triggerDocument.Add(triggerRoot);
XElement msgNode = triggerRoot.Elements("Messages")
.SingleOrDefault();
if (msgNode != null)
{
foreach (var item in events)
{
msgNode.Add(new XElement("n",
new XAttribute("page", item.page),
new XAttribute("sequence", item.sequence),
new XAttribute("priority", item.priority),
new XAttribute("errorText", item.errorText)
));
}
}
May this will help to add nodes...
//file name
string filename = #"d:\temp\XMLFile2.xml";
//create new instance of XmlDocument
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
//load from file
doc.Load(filename);
//create node and add value
XmlNode node = doc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "Genre_Genre_Country", null);
node.InnerText = "this is new node";
//add to elements collection
doc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(node);
//save back
doc.Save(filename);
am trying to generate an XML document like this through code.
<TestRequest xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://localhost:2292/RMSchema.xsd">
<Version>3</Version>
<ApplicationHeader>
<AppLanguage />
<UserId>rmservice</UserId>
</ApplicationHeader>
<CustomerData>
<ExistingCustomerData>
<MTN>2084127182</MTN>
</ExistingCustomerData>
</CustomerData>
</TestRequest>
I tried some samples. But they create xmlns for the children, which i dont need. Any help is really appreciated.
I have tried the below code. But it is adding only xmlns to all children, which i dont need
XmlDocument xDocument = new XmlDocument();
xDocument.AppendChild(xDocument.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", "windows-1252", null));
XmlElement xRoot = xDocument.CreateElement("TestRequest", "XNamespace.Xmlns=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" + " xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=" + "http://localhost:2292/RMSchema.xsd");
xDocument.AppendChild(xRoot);
xRoot.AppendChild(xDocument.CreateElement("Version")).InnerText = 1;
Thanks

I have tried with
var xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
XmlElement xRoot = xDocument.CreateElement("xsi","RMRequest",xsi);
xRoot.SetAttribute("noNamespaceSchemaLocation", xsi, "http://localhost:2292/RMSchema.xsd");
xDocument.AppendChild(xRoot);
Now the response is
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"windows-1252\"?><xsi:TestRequest xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=\"http://localhost:2292/RMSchema.xsd\" xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\">
Here is the awesome LINQ to XML. Enjoy!
XNamespace xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
XDocument doc = new XDocument(new XDeclaration("1.0", "windows-1252", null),
new XElement("TestRequest",
new XAttribute(XNamespace.Xmlns + "xsi", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"),
new XAttribute(xsi + "noNamespaceSchemaLocation", "http://localhost:2292/RMSchema.xsd"),
new XElement("Version",
new XText("3")
),
new XElement("ApplicationHeader",
new XElement("AppLanguage"),
new XElement("UserId",
new XText("rmservice")
)
),
new XElement("CustomerData",
new XElement("ExistingCustomerData",
new XElement("MTN",
new XText("2084127182")
)
)
)
)
);
doc.Save(filePath);
If you really want the old API, here it is:
var xDocument = new XmlDocument();
xDocument.AppendChild(xDocument.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", "windows-1252", null));
var xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
var xRoot = xDocument.CreateElement("TestRequest");
var attr = xDocument.CreateAttribute("xsi", "noNamespaceSchemaLocation", xsi);
attr.Value = "http://localhost:2292/RMSchema.xsd";
xRoot.Attributes.Append(attr);
xRoot.AppendChild(xDocument.CreateElement("Version")).InnerText = "1";
// .. your other elemets ...
xDocument.AppendChild(xRoot);
xDocument.Save(filePath);
EDIT: From your comments, it looks like you want the xmlns:xsi and other attribute in that specific order. If so, you may have to trick the XmlDocument to add the xmlns:xsi attribute first.
var xDocument = new XmlDocument();
xDocument.AppendChild(xDocument.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", "windows-1252", null));
var xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
var xRoot = xDocument.CreateElement("TestRequest");
// add namespace decl are attribute
var attr = xDocument.CreateAttribute("xmlns:xsi");
attr.Value = xsi;
xRoot.Attributes.Append(attr);
// no need to specify prefix, XmlDocument will figure it now
attr = xDocument.CreateAttribute("noNamespaceSchemaLocation", xsi);
attr.Value = "http://localhost:2292/RMSchema.xsd";
xRoot.Attributes.Append(attr);
xRoot.AppendChild(xDocument.CreateElement("Version")).InnerText = "1";
// .. your other elemets ...
xDocument.AppendChild(xRoot);
xDocument.Save(filePath);
Are you looking for something like this:-
XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
XmlNode root = xmldoc.AppendChild(xmldoc.CreateElement("Root"));
XmlNode child = root.AppendChild(xmldoc.CreateElement("Child"));
XmlAttribute childAtt =child.Attributes.Append(xmldoc.CreateAttribute("Attribute"));
childAtt.InnerText = "My innertext";
child.InnerText = "My node Innertext";
xmldoc.Save("ABC.xml");
i added xml file in my windows application, i want to add values to that from textbox..
i used the following code,
string path = "codedata.xml";
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
if (!System.IO.File.Exists(path))
{
//Create neccessary nodes
XmlDeclaration declaration = doc.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", "UTF-8", "yes");
XmlComment comment = doc.CreateComment("This is an XML Generated File");
doc.AppendChild(declaration);
doc.AppendChild(comment);
}
else //If there is already a file
{
// //Load the XML File
doc.Load(path);
}
//Get the root element
XmlElement root = doc.DocumentElement;
XmlElement Subroot = doc.CreateElement("data");
XmlElement Companycode = doc.CreateElement("Companycode");
XmlElement Productcode = doc.CreateElement("Productcode");
XmlElement Productname = doc.CreateElement("Productname");
XmlElement Brandcode = doc.CreateElement("Brandcode");
XmlElement Brandname = doc.CreateElement("Brandname");
Companycode.InnerText = txt_companycode.Text;
Productcode.InnerText = txt_productcode.Text;
Productname.InnerText = txt_productname.Text;
Brandcode.InnerText = txt_brandcode.Text;
Brandname.InnerText = txt_brandname.Text;
Subroot.AppendChild(Companycode);
Subroot.AppendChild(Productcode);
Subroot.AppendChild(Productname);
Subroot.AppendChild(Brandcode);
Subroot.AppendChild(Brandname);
root.AppendChild(Subroot);
doc.AppendChild(root);
//Save the document
doc.Save(path);
//Show confirmation message
MessageBox.Show("Details added Successfully");
it showing error near root.AppendChild(Subroot); can any one help me, wer i made mistake.
You can use Linq to XML, here is an example :
var xDoc = XElement.Load("FilePath");
if (xDoc == null)
return;
var myNewElement = new XElement("ElementName"
new XAttribute("AttributeName", value1),
new XAttribute("AttributeName", value2)
//And so on ...
);
xDoc.Add(myNewElement);
xDoc.Save("FilePath");
The root is null. Try to add Root element when you create XML file.
if (!System.IO.File.Exists(path))
{
//Create neccessary nodes
XmlDeclaration declaration = doc.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", "UTF-8", "yes");
XmlComment comment = doc.CreateComment("This is an XML Generated File");
doc.AppendChild(declaration);
doc.AppendChild(comment);
doc.AppendChild(doc.CreateElement("Root"));
}
Or use LINQ-XML
string _file=#"c:\sample.xml";
XDocument doc;
if (!File.Exists(_file))
{
doc = new XDocument();
doc.Add(new XElement("Root"));
}
else
{
doc = XDocument.Load(_file);
}
doc.Root.Add(
new XElement("data",
new XElement("CompanyCode","C101"),
new XElement("ProductCode","P101")
)
);
doc.Save(_file);
In null XML DocumentElement is null. Try add Subroot to Document:
XmlElement root = doc.DocumentElement;
root.AppendChild(Subroot);
doc.AppendChild(root);
// new code
doc.AppendChild(Subroot);
