[Re-posted XML checking for duplicates before saving, if duplicate found tell me about it — SA]

Hello again,

what im trying to achive is to read part of my XML and put that node into a weblink.

I.E

www.Helloworld.com/[APIKEY]/[VCODE].jpg

as you can see i've got an ID so when i want to do multiples.

My XML looks like this.

XML

  </L><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<L xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <ID>1c890a19-deae-406b-9e3f-5aeb779d06d4</ID>
  <APIKEY>123</APIKEY>
  <VCODE>123</VCODE>
</L><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<L xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <ID>d179e9de-ec45-4986-9081-48ebb7466e46</ID>
  <APIKEY>1234</APIKEY>
  <VCODE>1234</VCODE>
</L><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<L xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <ID>a169216d-efba-4bc2-86a8-1ba8fee3e585</ID>
  <APIKEY>12345</APIKEY>
  <VCODE>12345</VCODE>
</L>

Here is how i made my XML.

C#

public class L
   {
       static void main(string[] args)
       {
           XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
           xmldoc.Load("data.XML");
           XmlNodeList userNodes = xmldoc.SelectNodes("data.XML");
           foreach (XmlNode userNode in userNodes) ;

       }

       private string id;
       private string APIkey;
       private string VCode;

       public string ID
       {
           get { return id; }
           set { id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(); }
       }

       public string APIKEY
       {
           get { return APIkey; }
           set { APIkey = value; }
       }

       public string VCODE
       {
           get { return VCode; }
           set { VCode = value; }

       }

       public static void SaveData(object obj, string Filename)
       {

           XmlSerializer sr = new XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
           TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(Filename, true);
           sr.Serialize(writer, obj);
           writer.Close();

       }

Im trying to import a picture here using the link + the info in my XML.

C#

private void pictureBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          pictureBox1.ImageLocation = "www.Helloworld.com /[line in XML] /[the other line].jpg";

      }

Thanks in advance :)

You can use the string.Format(); to format the URL. You need to work with System.Xml namespace also. These will give you the answer.

what have you tried so far?

Member 11841936 28-Aug-15 11:58am

so far I've tried google... this is my first project and my skills are poor.

Tried Google... Are you serious?

Try what? Look thoroughly: this is not XML at all. Please see Solution 1.

You cannot do it, because you data file is not an XML file. Try to open it any browser; it will tell you why. XML should have one root element. Have a correct XML file, first of all, well-formed, and it will work.

[EDIT]
Alternatively, create your own proprietary standard, call it, say, "SuperXML" (especially if it is going to be a superset of XML) and create your own generator, parser, and perhaps serialization. It is quite possible. Only avoid the name "XML" and better even the file naming schema *.XML.
[END EDIT]

But wait a minute… People already explained you this problem: XML checking for duplicates before saving, if duplicate found tell me about it[^].

Why would you ignore those comments? And remember, re-posting is considered as abuse. Main part here is: if you cannot use advice which you already got, who would like to waste time on your re-posted questions? There is a little hope now that you will use the.
