writing XML data to an ASP.NET page

Question

I want to show my data on an ASP.NET page using C# in XML format

<person>
    <email>[email protected]</email>
    <dob>YYYY-MM-DD- HH:MM:SS</dob>
    <city>XYZ</city>
</person>

Do you have any code with examples.

Answer 1

format your string in Html

then add the values there and

add

Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.AddHeader("content-type", "text/xml");

then write the string to browser

    response.write(yourstring);

example --

        string str = "<root>" + "<person>" + personName + "</person>";
        str += "<details>";
        str += "<DOB>" + "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss" + "</DOB>";
        str += "<City> " + "XYZ" + "</City>";
        str += "</details>";
        str += "</root>";
        Response.ClearHeaders();
        Response.AddHeader("content-type", "text/xml");
        Response.Write(str);
        Response.End();

Answer 2

I am giving you a generic solution

Create a class **

public class Person
    {
        public string Email { get; set; }
        public string DOB { get; set; }
        public string City { get; set; }
    }

**

After that write this method in your any class library like that

Public Class Utilities
{
    public static XmlElement Serialize(object transformObject)
            {
                XmlElement serializedElement = null;
                try
                {
                    MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();
                    XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(transformObject.GetType());
                    serializer.Serialize(memStream, transformObject);
                    memStream.Position = 0;
                    XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
                    xmlDoc.Load(memStream);
                    serializedElement = xmlDoc.DocumentElement;
                }
                catch (Exception SerializeException)
                {

                }
                return serializedElement;
            }

}

Now write this main function at your page , where you want make this task

private void MainMethod()
{
Collection<Person> mPersons = new Collection<Person>();
            //Fill your collection object mPersons with data 
            // I am giving here example for demo
            Person sPerson = new Person();
            sPerson.City = "City 1";
            sPerson.DOB = DateTime.Now.ToString("YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"); //just for example 
            sPerson.Email = "[email protected]";
            mPersons.Add(sPerson);
            //add another class object
            sPerson = new Person();
            sPerson.City = "City 2";
            sPerson.DOB = DateTime.Now.ToString("YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"); //just for example 
            sPerson.Email = "[email protected]";
            mPersons.Add(sPerson);

            XmlElement xE = (XmlElement)Utilities.Serialize(mPersons);
            XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
            xDoc.LoadXml(xE.OuterXml.ToString());
            xDoc.Save(Server.MapPath("myFile.xml"));//give your file path name may be in your web application folder   

}

Try this, if you have class object or dataset
