Hai all. I need to create an xml file like this ..

XML

<HEDDERS>
  <HEDDER>
    <ID>1</ID>
    <Name>ID</Name>
  </HEDDER>
  <HEDDER>
    <ID>6</ID>
    <Name>STATE</Name>
  </HEDDER>
  <HEDDER>
    <ID>7</ID>
    <Name>PIN</Name>
  </HEDDER>

</HEDDERS>

I use the code like this..

XML

XmlDocument docConfig = new XmlDocument();
       XmlNode xmlNode = docConfig.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.XmlDeclaration, "", "");
       XmlElement rootElement = docConfig.CreateElement("HEDDERS");
       docConfig.AppendChild(rootElement);
       for (int i = 10; i < 20; i++)
       {
           // Create <InstallationId> Node
           XmlElement installationElement = docConfig.CreateElement("ID");
           XmlText installationIdText = docConfig.CreateTextNode(Convert.ToString(i));
           installationElement.AppendChild(installationIdText);
           docConfig.ChildNodes.Item(0).AppendChild(installationElement);

           // Create <Environment> Node
           XmlElement environmentElement = docConfig.CreateElement("NAME");
           XmlText environText = docConfig.CreateTextNode("ABC"+i);
           environmentElement.AppendChild(environText);
           docConfig.ChildNodes.Item(0).AppendChild(environmentElement);
       }

But it shows out put like this....

XML

<HEDDER>
  <ID>10</ID>
  <NAME>ABC10</NAME>
  <ID>11</ID>
  <NAME>ABC11</NAME>
  <ID>12</ID>
  <NAME>ABC12</NAME>
</HEDDER>

Can Any one help me to solve it out..

Hi, you missed creating the HEDDER nodes, that's why they're not appearing in the generated XML.

Modify your loop to something like:

C#

for (int i = 10; i < 20; i++)
{
    // Create the <hedder> Node
    XmlElement hedder = docConfig.CreateElement("HEDDER");

    // Create <installationid> Node
    XmlElement installationElement = docConfig.CreateElement("ID");
    XmlText installationIdText = docConfig.CreateTextNode(Convert.ToString(i));
    installationElement.AppendChild(installationIdText);

    // Add the <id> child node to the <hedder> element
    hedder.AppendChild(installationElement);

    // Create <environment> Node
    XmlElement environmentElement = docConfig.CreateElement("NAME");
    XmlText environText = docConfig.CreateTextNode("ABC" + i);
    environmentElement.AppendChild(environText);

    // Add the <name> child node to the <hedder> element
    hedder.AppendChild(environmentElement);

    // Add the HEDDER node to the root.
    rootElement.AppendChild(hedder);
}

I hope this helps.

C#

private void create()
    {
        
        XmlDocument docConfig = new XmlDocument();
        XmlNode xmlNode = docConfig.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.XmlDeclaration, "", "");
        XmlElement rootElement = docConfig.CreateElement("HEDDERS");
        docConfig.AppendChild(rootElement);
        
        for (int i = 10; i < 20; i++)
        {
            XmlElement hedder = docConfig.CreateElement("HEDDER");
            docConfig.DocumentElement.PrependChild(hedder);
            docConfig.ChildNodes.Item(0).AppendChild(hedder);
            // Create <installationid> Node
            XmlElement installationElement =docConfig.CreateElement("ID");
            XmlText installationIdText = docConfig.CreateTextNode(Convert.ToString(i));
            installationElement.AppendChild(installationIdText);
            hedder.PrependChild(installationElement);
            // Create <environment> Node
            XmlElement environmentElement = docConfig.CreateElement("NAME");
            XmlText environText = docConfig.CreateTextNode("ABC"+i);
            environmentElement.AppendChild(environText);
            
            hedder.PrependChild(environmentElement);
         
        }        

        // Save xml document to the specified folder path.
        docConfig.Save("D:\\Sample.xml");      
    }

This will give the out put like...

XML

<HEDDERS>
  <HEDDER>
    <NAME>ABC10</NAME>
    <ID>10</ID>
  </HEDDER>
  <HEDDER>
    <NAME>ABC11</NAME>
    <ID>11</ID>
  </HEDDER>
  <HEDDER>
    <NAME>ABC12</NAME>
    <ID>12</ID>
  </HEDDER>
  <HEDDER>
    <NAME>ABC13</NAME>
    <ID>13</ID>
  </HEDDER>
