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!

Read XML to dataset and find table in dataset

Asked by Nugs in C# Programming Language, Programming for ASP.NET, Microsoft Visual C#.Net

Morning guys and gals,

I have a question i could really use some help with, it has been bothering me all weekend.

I have the following XML:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Submenus>
   <PageMenu PageID="default.aspx">
      <MenuItem Name="" URL="" Target="" DisplayOrder=""/>
      <MenuItem Name="" URL="" Target="" DisplayOrder=""/>
      <MenuItem Name="" URL="" Target="" DisplayOrder=""/>
      <MenuItem Name="" URL="" Target="" DisplayOrder=""/>
   </PageMenu>
   <PageMenu PageID="test.aspx">
      <MenuItem Name="" URL="" Target="" DisplayOrder=""/>
      <MenuItem Name="" URL="" Target="" DisplayOrder=""/>
      <MenuItem Name="" URL="" Target="" DisplayOrder=""/>
      <MenuItem Name="" URL="" Target="" DisplayOrder=""/>
   </PageMenu>
</Submenus>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am reading this XML into a dataset like so:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            ds.ReadXml(ServerDirectory.GetSiteDirectoryPath() + "xml\\PageSubmenus.xml");
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok from this point on things have gotten a little hazy... I have tried a number of different examples and ideas with no like.

Basically my code reads the current URL of the browser and figures out what page is currently being displayed. What i thenneed to do is find the tabel inthe XML/Dataset that matches. So if they are on default.aspx i need to get <PageMenu PageID="default.aspx"> and all its <MenuItem> nodes... In fact once i have the Page menu node and all ites MenuItems nodes i want those in a DataTable that i can loop through...

I am completely open to any suggestions here even if the suggestion is to change my XML to some other schema.

Basically all this is a XML submenus for different pages of my website... once the xml is in a dataset i need help finding only the menu items for the the current page by looking at the PageID attribute of the xml...

Please help!
