Open original thread
Hi Friends,

I am reading the XML file using Linq.
I have XML as below :

XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<results xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="TCore TResultsSchema.xsd" xmlns="TCore">
<SMS>
<message>
<msgStatus>Read</msgStatus>
<msgcenterno>8613800100500</msgcenterno>
<number>8613810162499</number>
<dateTime>2011-11-22 15:45:54</dateTime>
<text>I'm going to purchase a BMW</text>
</message>
<deleted />
<message>
<msgStatus>Read</msgStatus>
<msgcenterno>8613800100500</msgcenterno>
<number>8613810162499</number>
<dateTime>2011-11-22 15:46:38</dateTime>
<text>What do want for me</text>
</message>
<deleted />


I want to fill all that messages into the Generic list. So i had done code like below.

C#
XDocument xmlDoc = XDocument.Load(new System.IO.StreamReader(strWorkingFolderPath + "\\physicalResults.xml"));

                List<SMS> lstsms = new List<SMS>();

                var childQuery = from child in xmlDoc.Element("results")
                                 .Element("SMS").Descendants("message")
                                 select child;

                foreach (XElement el in childQuery)
                {
                    SMS s = new SMS();
                    s.msgStatus = el.Attribute("msgStatus").Value;
                    s.msgcenterno = el.Attribute("msgcenterno").Value;
                    s.number = el.Attribute("number").Value;
                    s.dateTime = el.Attribute("dateTime").Value;
                    s.text = el.Attribute("text").Value;

                    lstsms.Add(s);
                }


I am getting error 'object reference not set to an instance of an object'.
Can any one please tell me where is the problem in this query?

Thank,
Viprat

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
