I am very new to C#. I have XML file (text.xml). I want to read that in XmlDocument
and store the stream in string variable.
XML files are encoded in plaintext, so you can open them in any text editor and be able to clearly read it. Right-click the XML file and select "Open With." This will display a list of programs to open the file in. Select "Notepad" (Windows) or "TextEdit" (Mac).
XmlTextReader.Read Method (System.Xml) Reads the next node from the stream.
The XmlReader class in C# provides an efficient way to access XML data. XmlReader. Read() method reads the first node of the XML file and then reads the whole file using a while loop.
The XmlReader, XmlWriter and their derived classes contains methods and properties to read and write XML documents. With the help of the XmlDocument and XmlDataDocument classes, you can read entire document. The Load and Save method of XmlDocument loads a reader or a file and saves document respectively.
If you need to use a XmlDocument object to work with XML, you can use the XmlTextReader object to create one. For more information, see Reading XML Data using XPathDocument and XmlDocument. Loads the XML document from the specified TextReader. The TextReader used to feed the XML data into the document. There is a load or parse error in the XML.
After calling the constructor, use the Load method to load XML data into the new XmlDocument object from a Stream, TextReader, or XmlReader object, as well as the string path to an XML file. The following example illustrates using the XmlDocument class constructor with no parameters and the Load method to read an XML document.
Loads the XML document from the specified TextReader. The TextReader used to feed the XML data into the document. There is a load or parse error in the XML. In this case, the document remains empty. The following example uses the StringReader class to load a string of XML data into the XmlDocument object.
Use XmlDocument.Load () method to load XML from your file. Then use XmlDocument.InnerXml property to get XML string. XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument (); doc.Load ("path to your file"); string xmlcontents = doc.InnerXml; XmlDocument does not contain a definition for Load. I downvoted all of these because none of them worked.
Use XmlDocument.Load()
method to load XML from your file. Then use XmlDocument.InnerXml
property to get XML string.
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); doc.Load("path to your file"); string xmlcontents = doc.InnerXml;
If your .NET version is newer than 3.0 you can try using System.Xml.Linq.XDocument
instead of XmlDocument
. It is easier to process data with XDocument
.
