Now I will start off by saying this is indeed an assigment. I have however nearly finished it untill I ran into the Linq to XML syntax.
I have 2 classes: Track and CD now as part of the assigment I create a cd and then added some tracks to it. After searching for lots of tutorials that explained perfectly how to go from xml to objects I just cannot seem to get this working (objects to xml).
I currently have:
//My list of cds
List<CD> cds = new List<CD>();
//Make a new CD and add some tracks to it
CD c1 = new CD("Awake","Dream Theater");
Track t1 = new Track("6:00", "Dream Theater", new TimeSpan(00, 05, 31));
Track t2 = new Track("Caught in a Web", "Dream Theater", new TimeSpan(00, 05, 28));
Track t3 = new Track("Innocence Faded", "Dream Theater", new TimeSpan(00, 05, 34));
c1.addTrack(t1);
c1.addTrack(t2);
c1.addTrack(t3);
cds.Add(c1);
//Make another cd and add it
CD c2 = new CD("Second cd","TestArtist");
Track t4 = new Track("TrackForSecond","TestArtist",new TimeSpan(00,13,37));
c2.addTrack(t4);
cds.add(c2);
Now this is what gets me the objects I need to put into XML. The to XML part is:
XDocument xmlOutput = new XDocument (
new XDeclaration("1.0","utf-8","yes"),
(from cl in cds orderby cl.getArtist()
select new XElement("cd", /*From new to the end of this is the error*/
(
from c in cds
select new XAttribute("artist",c.getArtist())
),
(
from c in cds
select new XAttribute("name", c.getTitle())
),
new XElement("tracks",
(
from t in c1.getTracks()
select new XElement("track",
new XElement("artist",t1.getArtist()),
new XElement("title",t1.getTitle()),
new XElement("length",t1.getLength())
)
)
)
)
)
);
Console.WriteLine(xmlOutput);
This works great (gets me the result I need!) for just 1 cd. When I decide to add another cd it shows:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Xml.Linq.dll
Duplicate Attribute (cd)
Which is pointing at the XDocument. Aside from this not working it feels pretty stupid (from c in cds x2) but whatever I try I cannot seem to stop this syntax from hating me:
(
from c in cds
select new XAttribute("artist",c.getArtist()),
select new XAttribute("name", c.getTitle()) //No not happening!
),
Would be very happy with any help you can provide!
