The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

C# Xpath query help!!

Asked by nazxul0101 in .NET

Tags: xpath

Ok, i have been racking my brain on this for the past hour now..

i have an xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<root>
  <Page name="Date Select">
    <Controls>
        <ListControl name="LoanType" type="listbox">
          <item value="LIS" />
       <item value="LPS" />
        </ListControl>
        <ListControl name="Selection" type="listbox">
          <item value="Select Suspend Status(s)" />
       <item value="Select All" />
       <item value="Select All but Completed" />
        </ListControl>
     <ListControl name="SuspendStatus" type="listbox">
       <item value="1st Call" />
       <item value="2nd Call" />
       <item value="Escalate" />
       <item value="Completed" />
       <item value="On Hold" />
       <item value="Hold for Map" />
     </ListControl>
     <ListControl name="Command" type="dropdown">
       <item value="Suspend Status Report" />
       <item value="Filter by Date" />
     </ListControl>
     </Controls>
   </Page>
</root>

and i am passing an xpath nodetest to my program..


     private void PutXMLData()
     {
       XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
       xmldoc.Load(Server.MapPath("pagedata.xml"));
       XmlNode root = xmldoc.DocumentElement;
       try
       {
           //-----this is where the issue lies!
             XmlNodeList xnodelist = root.SelectNodes("/root/Page/Controls/ListControl    [@name='LoanType']");
             foreach(XmlNode xnode in xnodelist)
          {
              lst1.Items.Add(xnode.ChildNodes[0].value);
          }
         
          } catch (System.Xml.XPath.XPathException ex) {          
          lblError.Text = ex.Message.ToString();
       }
        }

when i run this.. it gives me nothing in my listbox, but when when i replace xnode.ChildNodes[0].value with xnode.ChildNodes[0].name, then it gives me the string
"item" in the listbox..so i think i am off to a correct start.

But from looking at the XML file, i would think it would put the string
"LIS" and "LPS" in my listbox..which is what I want.

how would I do this with an Xpath nodetest?

Thanks!
