the output the i need is
<ns1:collection>
<ns1:child1>value1</ns1:child3>
<ns1:child2>value2</ns1:child3>
<ns1:child3>value3</ns1:child3>
</ns1:collection>
i try to do it by the code below - but i get an exception -...
How to add the namespace on this one ??
XDocument xDoc = new XDocument( new XElement( "collection",
new XElement( "ns1:child1", value1 ),
new XElement( "ns1:child2", value2 ),
new XElement( "ns1:child3", value3 ) ) );
I also try to use the
XNamespace ns1 = "http://url/for/ns1";";
and to do
( ns1 + "child1", value1 )
And still nothing
Move namespace declaration to the fictional parent element:
XDocument xDoc = new XDocument(new XElement("root",
new XAttribute(XNamespace.Xmlns + "ns1", ns1),
new XElement(ns1 + "collection",
new XElement(ns1 + "child1", value1),
new XElement(ns1 + "child2", value2),
new XElement(ns1 + "child3", value3))));
XDocument xDoc = new XDocument(new XElement(ns1+"collection",
new XAttribute(XNamespace.Xmlns+"ns1",ns1),
new XElement(ns1+ "child1", value1),
new XElement(ns1+"child2", value2),
new XElement(ns1+"child3", value3)));

Here is how the XML is being created (using .Net 4.7):
public XElement ConstructHvtPayload(PayPageRequest ppRequest)
{
XNamespace xNamespace = "http://www.litle.com/schema";
var request =
new XElement(xNamespace + "litleRequest",
new XAttribute("version", "9.13"),
new XAttribute("xmlns", "http://www.litle.com/schema"),
new XAttribute("id", OrderId),
new XAttribute("numBatchRequests", "1"),
new XElement(xNamespace + "authentication",
new XElement(xNamespace + "user", "testuser"),
new XElement(xNamespace + "password", "winteriscoming")),
new XElement(xNamespace + "batchRequest",
new XAttribute("id", OrderId),
new XAttribute("numTokenRegistrations", "1"),
new XAttribute("merchantId", MerchantId),
new XElement(xNamespace + "registerTokenRequest" ,
new XAttribute("id", OrderId), right?
new XAttribute("reportGroup", MerchantId),
new XElement(xNamespace + "orderId", ppRequest.OrderId),
new XElement(xNamespace + "accountNumber", ppRequest.AccountNumber)
)));
return request;
}
What I want to do is add a If statement before the return to insert a new element "cardValidationNumber" if a particular condition is met.
I have tried the following (and other similar options):
request.Element("batchRequest").Element("tokenRequest").Add(new XElement(xNamespace + "cardValidationNum", "CCV"));
and I am getting Object instance not set errors. I have also tried the following format:
request.Root......(But Root is not available as an option)
What am I missing? I suspect from the current replies it might be something to do with the custom namespace I am using??
Thanks.
Without knowing where "request" is coming from, it's hard to pinpoint why you are getting errors.
Assuming request is the XDocument itself, it should look like this
request.Element("littleRequest").Element("batchRequest").Element("tokenRequest").Add(new XElement("ccv", "NEW ELEMENT & VALUE HERE"));
Try this:
var doc = XElement.Parse("<littleRequest><authentication><user>USER NAME HERE</user><password>PASSWORD HERE</password></authentication><batchRequest><tokenRequest><orderId>ORDER ID VALUE</orderId><accountNumber>accountNumberHERE</accountNumber></tokenRequest></batchRequest></littleRequest>");
var tokenRequest = doc.Descendants("tokenRequest").FirstOrDefault();
tokenRequest?.Add(new XElement("ccv", "NEW ELEMENT & VALUE HERE"));
string xml = doc.ToString();
It works for me.
Try like this(using XPath not LINQ to XML though)
string path = #"D:\testing.xml";
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(path);
string item = "abcxyz";
XmlElement el = (XmlElement)doc.SelectSingleNode("//tokenRequest");
if (el != null)
{
XmlElement elem = doc.CreateElement("CCV");
elem.InnerText = item;
el.AppendChild(elem);
}
doc.Save(path);
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();
I always get exception below when try to add attribute, why it's not working?
The prefix '' cannot be redefined from '' to 'http://ws.plimus.com'
within the same start element tag.
Code
var docXml = new XElement("param-encryption",
new XAttribute("xmlns", "http://ws.plimus.com"),
new XElement("parameters"));
var s = docXml.ToString();
I want to get result like
<param-encryption xmlns="http://ws.plimus.com">
<parameters>
</parameters>
</param-encryption>
This simplest approach is to let LINQ to XML do this automatically by specifying the namespace in the element name:
XNamespace ns = "http://ws.plimus.com";
var docXml = new XElement(ns + "param-encryption", new XElement(ns + "parameters"));
Result of docXml.ToString():
<param-encryption xmlns="http://ws.plimus.com">
<parameters />
</param-encryption>
Try this -
XNamespace aw = "http://ws.plimus.com";
XElement root = new XElement("param-encryption",
new XAttribute(XNamespace.Xmlns + "aw", "http://ws.plimus.com"),
new XElement("Child", "child content")
);
Console.WriteLine(root);
(EDIT):-
use this if you dont want namespace alias
XNamespace aw = "http://ws.plimus.com";
XElement root = new XElement(aw + "param-encryption",
new XAttribute("xmlns", "http://ws.plimus.com"),
new XElement( aw + "Child", "child content")
);
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 can use XDocument to build the following file which works fine:
XDocument xdoc = new XDocument
(
new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", null),
new XElement(_pluralCamelNotation,
new XElement(_singularCamelNotation,
new XElement("id", "1"),
new XElement("whenCreated", "2008-12-31")
),
new XElement(_singularCamelNotation,
new XElement("id", "2"),
new XElement("whenCreated", "2008-12-31")
)
)
);
However, I need to build the XML file by iterating through a collection like this:
XDocument xdoc = new XDocument
(
new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", null));
foreach (DataType dataType in _dataTypes)
{
XElement xelement = new XElement(_pluralCamelNotation,
new XElement(_singularCamelNotation,
new XElement("id", "1"),
new XElement("whenCreated", "2008-12-31")
));
xdoc.AddInterally(xelement); //PSEUDO-CODE
}
There is Add, AddFirst, AddAfterSelf, AddBeforeSelf, but I could get none of them to work in this context.
Is an iteration with LINQ like this possible?
Answer:
I took Jimmy's code suggestion with the root tag, changed it up a bit and it was exactly what I was looking for:
var xdoc = new XDocument(
new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", null),
new XElement(_pluralCamelNotation,
_dataTypes.Select(datatype => new XElement(_singularCamelNotation,
new XElement("id", "1"),
new XElement("whenCreated", "2008-12-31")
))
)
);
Marc Gravell posted a better answer to this on this StackOverflow question.
You need a root element.
var xdoc = new XDocument(
new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", null),
new XElement("Root",
_dataTypes.Select(datatype => new XElement(datatype._pluralCamelNotation,
new XElement(datatype._singlarCamelNotation),
new XElement("id", "1"),
new XElement("whenCreated", "2008-12-31")
))
)
);
If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to use XDocument.Add():
XDocument xdoc = new XDocument
(
new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", null));
foreach (DataType dataType in _dataTypes)
{
XElement xelement = new XElement(_pluralCamelNotation,
new XElement(_singularCamelNotation,
new XElement("id", "1"),
new XElement("whenCreated", "2008-12-31")
));
xdoc.Add(xelement);
}
I know it's very very old post but I stumbled across this today trying to solve the same problem. You have to add the element to the Root of the document:
xdoc.Root.Add(xelement);
What's wrong with the simple Add method?
