I'm using VS2010 C#. I have an XML file being read in via XDocument. I need to load the XML data into a class or a var and then be able to access that data to print out to textboxes in a windows form.
I have tried a few things. XDocument.Parse is getting the XML, because I can print it out to a text box and it is all there & correct. From there, however, the data does not seem to be reading into the class or var. (count of 0, elements are null, etc).
I was following this tutorial, but it is quite old now: http://tech.pro/tutorial/743/introduction-to-linq-simple-xml-parsing
Can anyone point me to how 1) I can load the data into a list and 2) access the sub-elements to print out to a text box?
The code:
XDocument xmlResponse = XDocument.Parse( e.Result );
var hds =
(from hdi in xmlResponse.Descendants("HDInfo")
select new HDInfo
{
freeSpace = (long)hdi.Element("freeSpace"),
percentFree = (float)hdi.Element("percentFree"),
volume = (String)hdi.Element("volume"),
});
The XML:
<ArrayOfHDInfo xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/project" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<HDInfo>
<freeSpace>187783532544</freeSpace>
<percentFree>75.1457443</percentFree>
<volume>C:\</volume>
</HDInfo>
<HDInfo>
<freeSpace>583875145728</freeSpace>
<percentFree>77.83411</percentFree>
<volume>D:\</volume>
</HDInfo>
</ArrayOfHDInfo>
