I eventually figured out there was a byte mark exception and removed it using this code: string _byteOrderMarkUtf8 = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Encoding.UTF8.GetPreamble()); if (xml.StartsWith(_byteOrderMarkUtf8)) { var lastIndexOfUtf8 = _byteOrderMarkUtf8.Length-1; xml = xml.Remove(0, lastIndexOfUtf8); }
Assuming xmlDoc is an XmlDocument object whats wrong with xmlDoc.OuterXml? return xmlDoc.OuterXml; The OuterXml property returns a string version of the xml.
You need to do something like this: // instantiate XmlDocument and load XML from file XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); doc.Load(@”D:\test.xml”); // get a list of nodes – in this case, I’m selecting all <AID> nodes under // the <GroupAIDs> node – change to suit your needs XmlNodeList aNodes = doc.SelectNodes(“/Equipment/DataCollections/GroupAIDs/AID”); // loop through all … Read more
I’ve generally looked at it not from a fastest perspective, but rather from a memory utilization perspective. All of the implementations have been fast enough for the usage scenarios I’ve used them in (typical enterprise integration). However, where I’ve fallen down, and sometimes spectacularly, is not taking into account the general size of the XML … Read more
Thanks to Jeremy Lew’s answer and a bit more playing around, I figured out how to remove blank xmlns attributes: pass in the root node’s namespace when creating any child node you want not to have a prefix on. Using a namespace without a prefix at the root means that you need to use that … Read more
Assuming doc is your instance of org.w3c.dom.Document: TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); Transformer transformer = tf.newTransformer(); transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, “yes”); StringWriter writer = new StringWriter(); transformer.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(writer)); String output = writer.getBuffer().toString().replaceAll(“\n|\r”, “”);
You have to declare the dc namespace prefix using an XmlNamespaceManager before you can use it in XPath expressions: XmlDocument rssDoc = new XmlDocument(); rssDoc.Load(rssStream); XmlNamespaceManager nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(rssDoc.NameTable); nsmgr.AddNamespace(“dc”, “http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/”); XmlNodeList rssItems = rssDoc.SelectNodes(“rss/channel/item”); for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { XmlNode rssDetail = rssItems[i].SelectSingleNode(“dc:creator”, nsmgr); if (rssDetail != null) … Read more
Just like you do for getting something from the CNode you also need to do for the ANode XmlNodeList xnList = xml.SelectNodes(“/Element[@*]”); foreach (XmlNode xn in xnList) { XmlNode anode = xn.SelectSingleNode(“ANode”); if (anode!= null) { string id = anode[“ID”].InnerText; string date = anode[“Date”].InnerText; XmlNodeList CNodes = xn.SelectNodes(“ANode/BNode/CNode”); foreach (XmlNode node in CNodes) { XmlNode … Read more
Instead of configDoc.RemoveChild(projectNodes[i]); try projectNodes[i].parentNode.RemoveChild(projectNodes[i]);
Mike; Everytime I need to modify an XML document I work it this way: //Here is the variable with which you assign a new value to the attribute string newValue = string.Empty; XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument(); xmlDoc.Load(xmlFile); XmlNode node = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode(“Root/Node/Element”); node.Attributes[0].Value = newValue; xmlDoc.Save(xmlFile); //xmlFile is the path of your file to be … Read more
