Hi all,

I have a simple xml file:

<testxml>

<node1>
node1text
</node1>

<node2>
node2text
</node2>

</testxml>

I've used msxml in vbscript, there was simple to print childnode texts, only I have to move in each childnode, and printing chilnode.name and childnode.text, but in the newer version in vb.net, I cannot get the name of the chilnode with xmltextreader.

I can printing data but the text has no childnodename, and the childnode has no text.

Is there any solution, that I printing out the nodename and the text together?

Thanks

You haven't posted the code you are using, so I'm only guessing, but I bet that what's happening is that this XML:
Consists of 3 nodes, not the 1 or 2 you might expect. The following information describes both how the XmlTextReader views it and the more versatile and (in my opinion) easier-to-use XmlDocument views it.

<element> is represented with a type of XmlNodeType.Element. text is actually considered a node by both XmlTextReader and XmlDocument; it has a node type of XmlNodeType.Text, and it's Value property will be what you expect. The </element> node is interpreted as a node with type XmlNodeType.EndElement by XmlTextReader and I believe XmlDocument doesn't really return this node.

My guess is you are trying to print the value of one of the element nodes, and by definition they cannot have a value. If you could post code that is representative of what you are doing, you'd get a lot more help.

Thanks Atmaweapon, I tried to approach on another way, not with xmltextreader, just with simple XmlDocument.

So the result is:

Try
Dim m_xmld As XmlDocument
Dim m_nodelist As XmlNodeList
Dim m_node As XmlNode
Dim m_node2 As XmlNode

m_xmld = New XmlDocument()

m_xmld.Load("C:\test.xml")

m_nodelist = m_xmld.SelectNodes("/testnode")

For Each m_node In m_nodelist
For Each m_node2 In m_node.ChildNodes

Dim element = m_node2.InnerText
MsgBox(m_node2.Name + " n " + element)
Next
Next
Catch iserror As Exception
End Try
