Thread: Parsing Xml

Oh, if you know the structure of the file and just want to read attributes in that fashion, you can easily do that with XPath.

Sample:

Code:

            XPathDocument d = new XPathDocument("people.xml");
            XPathNavigator root = d.CreateNavigator();

            XPathNodeIterator listIter = root.Select("/people/location/list");
            while (listIter.MoveNext())
            {
                string name = listIter.Current.Evaluate("string(@name)") as string;
                string surname = listIter.Current.Evaluate("string(@surname)") as string;
                string location = listIter.Current.Evaluate("string(@location)") as string;
                string dwelling = listIter.Current.Evaluate("string(@dwelling)") as string;
            }

XPath has a lot more advanced features as well, but this is a simple example.
