Dear friends,

I am writing a function that creates an xml document named doc which will be consumed by another function. When I write the content of the XML file created (named doc) to a file using

<pre>XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
..........
..........
..........
XmlTextWriter wrtr = new XmlTextWriter("\\doc.xml",Encoding.Unicode);
doc.WriteTo(wrtr);
wrtr.Close();</pre>

it works perfect. But instead of writing the XML document to a file I want to convert its content to string and pass it directly to the consuming function, so I used

<pre> .............
.............
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
XmlTextWriter xw = new XmlTextWriter(sw);
doc.WriteTo(xw);
return sw.ToString();</pre>

in this case the output string will contain only 1024 characters (including space) and as a result it will cut some of its contents. What do you suggest to solve it, Thanks!

Solution 2

I think you missed a sw.Flush(); statement.

Solution 1

use stringbuilder and append xw on per node.. would make sure the data doesnt truncate. can you use alternatives to xml? like json? json is just a string..

Theoretically what you said seems work but suppose we have the following code that create the xml file and writes its content to emp.xml file.

StringBuilder s= new StringBuilder(string.Empty);
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
XmlDeclaration dec = doc.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", null, null);
doc.AppendChild(dec);

XmlElement root = doc.CreateElement("Emp");
doc.AppendChild(root);
XmlElement name = doc.CreateElement("Name");
name.InnerText = "Jhon";
root.AppendChild(name);
XmlElement age = doc.CreateElement("Age");
age.InnerText = "25";
root.AppendChild(age);
XmlTextWriter wrtr = new XmlTextWriter("\\Emp.xml", Encoding.Unicode);
doc.WriteTo(wrtr);
wrtr.Close();

pls show me how i can implement your suggestion and get the content on stringbuilder variable s, Thanks!

basically if you can read nodes and sh*t like that, u can kinda treat the document like a you would a cursor - add everything that you enter to a stringbuilder using sb.append(string) using the methods mentioned to get the attribute names, node names, etc.
