I created an xml file as shown below as well as I have a list of elements that i got using linq query.
public bool createXMLFile()
{
bool myval;
try
{
var xEle = new XElement("Plist");
string path1 = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetData("DataDirectory").ToString();
string un = "\\" + GlobalClass.GlobalVar + "empFinance.xml";
GlobalClass.GlobalUrl = path1 + un;
xEle.Save(GlobalClass.GlobalUrl);
Debug.WriteLine("*************************************************************************");
Debug.WriteLine("Success! Converted to XML " + GlobalClass.GlobalUrl);
myval = true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Debug.WriteLine("**********************************************************************");
Debug.WriteLine("EmployeeForEmpFinance exception" + ex.Message);
myval = false;
}
return myval;
}

{
Debug.WriteLine("EmployeeFinance");
Debug.WriteLine("*****************************************************************");
var finalList = new List<EmployeeEmploy>();
var context = new SSPModel.sspEntities();
foreach (var xEle in PrepList)
{
var query = from c in context.Employee_Employ
join d in context.Employee_Financial
on c.Employee_Personal_InfoEmp_id equals d.Employee_Personal_InfoEmp_id
where d.Employee_Personal_InfoEmp_id == xEle.Employee_Personal_InfoEmp_id //&& d.Approved_on != null
select new EmployeeFinance
{
Base_Pay = d.Base_Pay,
Housing_Allowance = d.Housing_Allowance,
Base_Pay_Currency = d.Base_Pay_Currency,
Employee_Personal_InfoEmp_id = d.Employee_Personal_InfoEmp_id
};
var empfinance = query.SingleOrDefault();
if (query.Count() == 1)
{
xEle.Housing_Allowance = empfinance.Housing_Allowance.GetValueOrDefault();
xEle.Base_Pay = empfinance.Base_Pay;
xEle.Base_Pay_Currency = empfinance.Base_Pay_Currency;
xEle.Gross_Pay = xEle.Housing_Allowance.GetValueOrDefault() + xEle.Base_Pay; // suppose to get gross pay up to this point
finalList.Add(xEle);
}
}
Misc_Classes.XMLCreator wer = new Misc_Classes.XMLCreator();
bool myVal = wer.createXMLFile();
if (myVal == true)
{
insertInitialList(finalList); // method call to insert list into xml file.
}

In this last method i am trying to iterate thought my list (finallist) and insert it into my xml file. I am getting an error saying that i need to instantiate the object. I know i am doing something wrong with my method that i am using to insert the list into the xml file. Some ideas are welcome. thank you
**EDITED
in a shorten version of the problem above .. i figure it out and list the code below. thank you**
public void insertInitialList(List<EmployeeEmploy> finalList)
{
Debug.WriteLine("insertInitialList" + finalList.Count());
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(GlobalClass.GlobalUrl);
var result = from element in doc.Descendants("Plist")
select element;
foreach (var ele in result)
{
ele.Add(from a in finalList
select new XElement("EmployeeFinance",
new XElement("EmployeeEmploy_Id"),
new XElement("EmpPersonal_Id"),
new XElement("Employee_Number")));
doc.Save(GlobalClass.GlobalUrl);
}
}
