Currently I have the following code:
XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
xDoc.Load("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=twitter");
XmlNodeList tweets = xDoc.GetElementsByTagName("text");
foreach (int i in tweets)
{
if (tweets[i].InnerText.Length > 0)
{
MessageBox.Show(tweets[i].InnerText);
}
}
Which doesn't work, it gives me System.InvalidCastException on the foreach line.
The following code works perfectly (no foreach, the i is replaced with a zero):
XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
xDoc.Load("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=twitter");
XmlNodeList tweets = xDoc.GetElementsByTagName("text");
if (tweets[0].InnerText.Length > 0)
{
MessageBox.Show(tweets[0].InnerText);
}

I know that there is already a marked answer, but you can do it like you did in your first try, you just need to replace the int with XmlNode
XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
xDoc.Load("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=twitter");
XmlNodeList tweets = xDoc.GetElementsByTagName("text");
foreach (XmlNode i in tweets)
{
if (i.InnerText.Length > 0)
{
MessageBox.Show(i.InnerText);
}
}
tweets is a node list. I think that what you're trying to do is this:
XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
xDoc.Load("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=twitter");
XmlNodeList tweets = xDoc.GetElementsByTagName("text");
for (int i = 0; i < tweets.Count; i++)
{
if (tweets[i].InnerText.Length > 0)
{
MessageBox.Show(tweets[i].InnerText);
}
}
It is not of Int type, That is the reason you are getting a casting exception. You can either replace int with the appropriate type or simply make use of type inference (implicitly typed variables) to handle this. Here i am using typeinference.by saying type as var, The compiler will understand it is of type of the iterator variable in tweets collection
foreach (var i in tweets)
{
if (i!=null)
{
string tweet= (((System.Xml.XmlElement)(i))).InnerText;
MessageBox.Show(tweet);
}
}
EDIT : With the Wonderful LINQtoXML, Your code can be rewritten like this.
string url = "http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=twitter";
XElement elm = XElement.Load(url);
if (elm != null)
{
foreach (var status in elm.Elements("status"))
{
string tweet = status.Element("text").Value;
MessageBox.Show(ss);
}
}
All the answers seem to be a bit outdated Imperative examples so I will add a declarative one. This is not doing what the OP wanted but I'm sure you'll get the point.
public static List<System.Xml.XmlNode> toList(System.Xml.XmlNodeList nodelist){
List<System.Xml.XmlNode> nodes = new List<System.Xml.XmlNode>();
foreach (System.Xml.XmlNode node in nodelist)
{
nodes.Add(node);
}
return nodes;
}
public static ReadMeObject setXml(ReadMeObject readmeObject){
readmeObject.xmlDocument = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
readmeObject.xmlDocument.LoadXml("<body>"+readmeObject.htmlStringContent+"</body>");
System.Xml.XmlNodeList images = readmeObject.xmlDocument.SelectNodes("//img");
Array.ForEach(
Functions.toList( images )
.Where((image) => image.Attributes != null)
.Where((image) => image.Attributes["src"] != null)
.Where((image) => image.Attributes["src"].Value != "")
.ToArray()
, (image) => {
Console.WriteLine(image.Attributes["src"].Value);
}
);
return readmeObject;
}
foreach (XmlNode node in tweets)
{
if (tweets[i].InnerText.Length > 0)
{
MessageBox.Show(tweets[node].InnerText);
}
}
I've changed the 'I', which you cannot use, to XmlNode, which selects a single line of your list.

You can loop through the Collection with .GetEnumerator()
this code is taken Microsoft Documentation :
XmlNodeList elemList = root.GetElementsByTagName("title");
IEnumerator ienum = elemList.GetEnumerator();
while (ienum.MoveNext()) {
XmlNode title = (XmlNode) ienum.Current;
Console.WriteLine(title.InnerText);
}
