LINQ to XML将子查询属性选择到字符串列表中

Question

I'm having some troubles trying to get the needed results from a query and a sub-query list from an XML document.

I have the following XML document (cut down version)

 <ObjectSet ExportMode="Special" Version="1.5.0.2307" Note="TypesFirst"> <MetaInformation> <ExportMode Value="Special" /> <RuntimeVersion Value="1.5.0.2307" /> <SourceVersion Value="1.5.0.2307" /> <ServerFullPath Value="/WW_C27" /> </MetaInformation> <ExportedObjects> <OI NAME="Source Notifications" TYPE="system.base.Folder"> <OI NAME="Joe Blow" TYPE="notification.EmailNotification"> <PI Name="EmailAddress" Value="joeblow@myemail.com" /> <PI Name="EmailSubject" Value="TEST ALARM" /> <PI Name="NotificationText" Value="Alarm text: @(AlarmText) Triggered: @(TimeStamp)" /> <PI Name="Status" Value="1" /> <OI NAME="Filter" TYPE="event.filter.Filter" declared="1" hidden="1"> <OI NAME="AlarmState" TYPE="event.filter.expression.Enum" declared="1"></OI> <OI NAME="Source" TYPE="event.filter.expression.Text" flags="aggregated"> <PI Name="Column" Value="Source" /> <PI Name="DisplayName" Value="Source" /> <OI NAME="Value1" TYPE="event.filter.expression.TextValue" flags="aggregated"> <PI Name="Value" Value="LG Gas Panel Exhaust Fan" /> </OI> <OI NAME="Value3" TYPE="event.filter.expression.TextValue" flags="aggregated"> <PI Name="Value" Value="LG Dewer Alm" /> </OI> </OI> </OI> </OI> <OI NAME="John Smith" TYPE="notification.EmailNotification"> <PI Name="EmailAddress" Value="johnsmith@myemail.com" /> <PI Name="EmailSubject" Value="Work ALARM" /> <PI Name="NotificationText" Value="Alarm text: @(AlarmText) Triggered: @(TimeStamp)" /> <PI Name="Status" Value="1" /> <OI NAME="Filter" TYPE="event.filter.Filter" declared="1" hidden="1"> <OI NAME="AlarmState" TYPE="event.filter.expression.Enum" declared="1"> <PI Name="Column" Value="AlarmState" /> <PI Name="DisplayName" Value="Alarm state" /> <PI Name="EnumType" Value="alarm.pt.AlarmState" /> <OI NAME="1" TYPE="event.filter.expression.EnumValue" flags="aggregated"> <PI Name="Value" Value="1" /> </OI> <OI NAME="0" TYPE="event.filter.expression.EnumValue" flags="aggregated" /></OI> <OI NAME="Source" TYPE="event.filter.expression.Text" flags="aggregated"> <PI Name="Column" Value="Source" /> <PI Name="DisplayName" Value="Source" /> <OI NAME="Value1" TYPE="event.filter.expression.TextValue" flags="aggregated"> <PI Name="Value" Value="Rm 7 FrzAlm" /> </OI> <OI NAME="Value2" TYPE="event.filter.expression.TextValue" flags="aggregated"> <PI Name="Value" Value="Dewer Alm" /> </OI> </OI> </OI> </OI> </OI> </ExportedObjects> </ObjectSet> 

In summary, I need to extract from the above XML document the following details:

• Person Name
• Person Email Address
• Email Subject

All of the above details I'm able to extract and display on my datagrid.

However, for every user there are a number of alarm messages that I need to display in the datagrid, as child rows underneath the datagrid's given user. I'm not able to do so at the moment. What is the best way to achieve the required outcome?

From the above XML document, the following is a typical element, that I need to extract as a child list under each user:

 <PI Name="Value" Value="Dewer Alm" /> 

See below my C# code.

List<EmailNotificationClass> NotificationList =
                (
                from n in XDocument.Load(str_XMLFilePath).Root.Descendants("ExportedObjects").Descendants("OI").Descendants("OI")
                where (string)n.Attribute("TYPE") == "notification.EmailNotification"                                       

                let attrib_NAME = n.Attribute("NAME")

                let attrib_EMAIL = n.XPathSelectElement("./PI[@Name='EmailAddress']").Attribute("Value")
                let attrib_SUBJECT = n.XPathSelectElement("./PI[@Name='EmailSubject']").Attribute("Value")
                let attrib_NotificationText = n.XPathSelectElement("./PI[@Name='NotificationText']").Attribute("Value")
                let attrib_Status = n.XPathSelectElement("./PI[@Name='Status']").Attribute("Value")

                let attrib_SourceList = n.XPathSelectElement("//OI/OI[@NAME='Source']/OI/PI[@Name='Value']")



                select new EmailNotificationClass 
                {
                    EN_NotificationName = attrib_NAME.Value,
                    EN_EmailAddress = attrib_EMAIL.Value,
                    EN_EmailSubject = attrib_SUBJECT.Value,
                    EN_NotificationText = attrib_NotificationText.Value,
                    EN_Status = attrib_Status.Value,

                    EN_SourceList = attrib_SourceList.Value //Need to turn this result into a child list
                }
                ).ToList();

            //Set DataGrid source
            DG_Notifications.ItemsSource = NotificationList;

        }
        else
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Please load XML file from the import tab first");
        }            
    }

Any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers

Managed to fix the issue myself. For anyone that maybe stack with a similar problem, the issue was the way I defined the class that holds the data, which later will be displayed in the DataGrid.

Once I changed the string Sources within the first class to a List, I was able to retrieve the list of alarms per person.

    public class EmailNotificationClass
{
    //EN = EmailNotification OI in the XML document       
    public string EN_NotificationName { get; set; }
    public string EN_EmailAddress { get; set; }
    public string EN_EmailSubject { get; set; }
    public string EN_NotificationText { get; set; }
    public string EN_Status { get; set; }
    public string EN_FilterType { get; set; }
    public List<EN_F_SourceClass> Sources { get; set; }

}


public class EN_F_SourceClass
{
    public string FilterSource { get; set; }
}

I then modified the code behind as followed

List<EmailNotificationClass> NotificationList =
                (

                from n in XDocument.Load(str_XMLFilePath).Root.Descendants("ExportedObjects").Descendants("OI").Descendants("OI")
                where (string)n.Attribute("TYPE") == "notification.EmailNotification"                                       

                let attrib_NAME = n.Attribute("NAME")

                let attrib_EMAIL = n.XPathSelectElement("./PI[@Name='EmailAddress']").Attribute("Value")
                let attrib_SUBJECT = n.XPathSelectElement("./PI[@Name='EmailSubject']").Attribute("Value")
                let attrib_NotificationText = n.XPathSelectElement("./PI[@Name='NotificationText']").Attribute("Value")
                let attrib_Status = n.XPathSelectElement("./PI[@Name='Status']").Attribute("Value")


                select new EmailNotificationClass
                {
                    EN_NotificationName = attrib_NAME.Value,
                    EN_EmailAddress = attrib_EMAIL.Value,
                    EN_EmailSubject = attrib_SUBJECT.Value,
                    EN_NotificationText = attrib_NotificationText.Value,
                    EN_Status = attrib_Status.Value,

                    Sources = 
                    (
                    from source in n.XPathSelectElements("OI/OI[@NAME='Source']/OI/PI[@Name='Value']")
                    select new EN_F_SourceClass
                    {
                        FilterSource = (string)source.Attribute("Value")
                    }).ToList()

                }
                ).ToList();


            //Set DataGrid source
            DG_Notifications.ItemsSource = NotificationList;

        }
        else
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Please load XML file from the import tab first");
        }            

The xalm part was easy. Just added a RowDeetailsTemplate as follow

 <DataGrid.RowDetailsTemplate> <DataTemplate> <Grid MaxHeight="100"> <ScrollViewer> <Border BorderThickness="0" Background="#FFB8E8A1" Padding="5"> <DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Sources}" IsReadOnly="True" SelectionMode="Single" SelectionUnit="FullRow" AutoGenerateColumns="False"> <DataGrid.Columns> <DataGridTextColumn Width="400" Header="Alarms" Binding="{Binding FilterSource}"></DataGridTextColumn> </DataGrid.Columns> </DataGrid> </Border> </ScrollViewer> </Grid> </DataTemplate> </DataGrid.RowDetailsTemplate> 

Thanks for reading,
