Question

See more:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Diag_Configuaration>
<Standard_Error>
<stopmode>
<value1>FreeWheel</value1>
<value2>Manual/AFR</value2>
</stopmode>
<priority>
<value1>Normal</value1>
<value2>High</value2>
</priority>
<ResetMethod>
<value1>Manual</value1>
<value2>Manual/AFR</value2>
</ResetMethod>
</Standard_Error>
</Diag_Configuaration>

i have tried using Xpath to read the values but it has only particular child node values, sometimes innertext has combined values like " NormalHigh" how can be the xml and its child node's values will convert to List. in the above XML i need to create three list of 1. stopmode, 2.priority, 3. Resetmethod. the innertext should be values in each respective list.

What I have tried:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
                doc.Load("C:\\TestDataBaseManager\\Diag_Congiuration.xml");

                XmlNodeList stopmode = doc.SelectNodes("/Diag_Configuaration/Standard_Error/stopmode");

                foreach(XmlNode node in stopmode)
                {                    
                    StopMode.Items.Add(node.InnerText);
                }

                XmlNodeList priority = doc.SelectNodes("/Diag_Configuaration/Standard_Error/priority");

                foreach (XmlNode node in priority)
                {
                    Priority.Items.Add(node.InnerText);
                }

                XmlNodeList resetmethod = doc.SelectNodes("/Diag_Configuaration/Standard_Error/ResetMethod");

                foreach (XmlNode node in resetmethod)
                {
                    ResetMethod.Items.Add(node.InnerText);
                }

var xmlSource = XElement.Load(C:\\TestDataBaseManager\\Diag_Congiuration.xml");
var xList = xmlSource.Elements(@"Standard_Error");
List<string> stopList = new List<string>();

foreach (var x in xList)
{
    if (x == null)
    {
        continue;
    }

    var stopmode = x.Element("stopmode");
    var value1 = stopmode.Element("value1");
    var value2 = stopmode.Element("value2");
    stopList.Add(value1.Value.ToString());
    stopList.Add(value2.Value.ToString());
}

Solution 2

I prefer to use XDocument class[^] and Linq.

See:

C#

XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load("FullFileName");

List<string> stopmodelist = xdoc.Descendants("stopmode").Descendants()
	.Where(x=>x.Name.ToString().StartsWith("value"))
	.Select(x=>x.Value)
	.ToList();

Returns:

FreeWheel 
Manual/AFR

Good luck!
