umbraco获取内容部分为xml

Question

I'm trying to get part of umbraco node content as xml doc. I need to update this part of code from the code behind. I use the code like this:

    Document doc = new Document(1214);
    XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
    umbraco.cms.businesslogic.property.Property items = doc.getProperty("fundItems");
    XmlNode fundsNode = items.ToXml(xmlDoc);

The problem is that I get an error: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.

Not sure if I use ToXml method properly? There seems not to be other solution but I can't find any proper documentation for this method or solutions in the internet.

Thanks

Without seeing the XML it's difficult to say what the problem is, but that sounds like it may not be a valid XML document. If it's like many properties I've run across before, it's not stored as a valid XML document (complete with header), but simply the XML data, and thus trying to make a document from it might not work.

I had some trouble trying to access an XML page property. I tried parsing it into a doc like you did and didn't get it right immediately, so I tried something else. What worked for me was to enumerate through the items, as Umbraco recognized them as a collection. It looked something like this:

Node node = new Node(1214);
var items = node.GetProperty("fundItems");

foreach (var item in items)
{
    foreach (XElement data in item.BaseElement.Elements("data"))
    {
        if (data.Attribute("alias").Value == "alias1")
        {
            // action for each item
        }
    }
}

The XML was formatted like that shown on this Umbraco project page . I realize your XML and situation may not be analogous to mine, but I hope this helps.
