asp.net source code blog

In this article I'll try to explain some common xml isue. Let's look at the example:

we have some xml file (list.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<Root>
<Item>
<Title>AspNetSource.com</Title>
<ID>1</ID>
</Item>
<Item>
<Title>dev-the-web.com</Title>
<ID>2</ID>
</Item>
</Root>

and we want to select Title of this Item which ID is 2. Follows the code:

XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
XmlNode xmlDocument.Load(Server.MapPath("~") + "App_Data\\list.xml");

xmlNode = xmlDocument.SelectSingleNode("Root/Item[ID='2']");

string OUR_TEXT = xmlNode["Title"].InnerText;

That's all. Happy Coding :)
