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!

XmlTextReader to read Attributes from xml string - C#

Asked by NewMom2Brandon in Extensible Markup Language (XML), Extensible HTML (XHTML)

Tags: element, xml, xmltextreader, attribute, string

Simple Question, but need it quickly.  My server application receives an xml string which I am trying
to read using XmlTextReader.  I am having a problem getting it to recognize an attribute and retrieving the data.
This is the latest I have tried:
It seems when I step through the debugger, it does not seem to recognize that it even has an attribute associated with
an element.   What do I need to do?    



XML String:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding= "utf-8" ?>
<Message>
<Name>Name</Name>
<DateTime>1/24/2005 :00:23PM</DateTime>
<Machine>MachineName</Machine>
<MessageNumber>999</MessageNumber>
<Detail Type = "Detail1">Text1</Detail>
<Detail Type = "Detail2">Text2</Detail>
</Message>

To Read The Data:

XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(sXmlString);

while (reader.Read())
{
   if (reader.NodeType.Equals(XmlNodeType.Element))
  {
     sNode = reader.Name;
     sValue = reader.Value;

     switch (sNode)
{
      case "Name":
     case "DateTime":
     case "MachineName" :
    case "MessageNumber" :
  //do stuff
   break;
    case "Detail":
                                                 
   if (reader.HasAttributes)    // This fails every time
      sattribute = reader.GetAttribute("Type");

//I've also tried this
   while (reader.MoveToNextAttribute())  // This also failed
  {
     if (reader.Name.Equals("Type"))
         m_DetailList.Add(reader.Value);
  }
   reader.MoveToElement();
      
//And Tried This
  else if (reader.NodeType.Equals(XmlNodeType.Attribute)) //failed
  {
  string svalue;
  string snode;

 svalue = reader.Value;
 snode = reader.Name;
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry(this.ToString(),
"DetailAttrName: " + reader.Name);

System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry(this.ToString(),
"DetailText: " + reader.Value);
   }
}
