从元素获取属性列表

Question

Still learning LINQ to XML and I'm having trouble parsing the data I want out.

The XML looks like this:

<address address1="5750 Ramirez Canyon Road" city="Malibu" state="CA" otherstate=" " postalcode="90265" country="US">

I want to create a dictionary of all the attributes. I have been trying various things and I'm just confusing myself. I keep getting null reference exception errors etc. I've been trying stuff like this:

var address = docCustomer
            .Element("address")
            .Attributes()
            .ToDictionary(....)

but obviously I'm doing something wrong because everything I try just bugs out.

Answer 1

You haven't shown us the structure of your xml file. docCustomer refers to your xml document, if you want to get child elements of your Root use:

 docCustomer
 .Root.Element("address")
 .Attributes()
 .ToDictionary(x => x.Name, x => (string)x);

If address is not the direct element of your root this wouldn't work.Use Descendants if that is the case:

docCustomer
 .Descendants("address")
 .First()
 .Attributes()
 .ToDictionary(x => x.Name, x => (string)x);
