Visual Basic数组数据到XML

Question

Struggling to export the contents of an array to an XML file. I have an error on line 101. Can anyone spot the error here? or am I using the wrong method?

Thanks guys!!

CODE:

createNode((Str(i + 1)), strArray(i, 0), strArray(i, 1), strArray(i, 2), strArray(i, 3), strArray(i, 4), strArray(i, 5), writer)

ERRORS:

Error 2 Value of type 'System.Xml.XmlTextWriter' cannot be converted to 'String'.

Error 1 Argument not specified for parameter 'writer' of 'Private Sub createNode(intQuantity As String, pNumber As String, pGiven As String, pFamily As String, pResult As String, pTotal As String, pPercent As String, pGrade As String, writer As System.Xml.XmlTextWriter)'.

Here is my code:

    Dim Counter As Integer                              ' This variable counts how many students are entered and handles each row in the array.

        ' Counter is set to zero at this point to intialise the first point in the array.

        intQuantity = Val(txtQuantity.Text)
        Counter = 0
        MsgBox("Your class has " & intQuantity & " students. Please enter each student and their marks one by one.")

        Dim strArray(intQuantity, 5) As String
        ' The array is defined in terms of the size of the class (numbers of students)

        If Counter < intQuantity Then

            MsgBox("You have entered student number " & (Counter + 1))
            ' This message informs the user that they have entered data into the array and how many students have been entered based on the counter.


            strArray(Counter, 0) = txtGivenName.Text     ' The student given name is entered into the first column of the Counter-th row

Answer 1

You call your createNode Function with 8 values. Your 8th value in the call is writer which is a XmlTextWriter but in your createNode Function the 8th value is pGrade As String . The writer need to be the 9th value when you call your createNode function. Also when your function ask for 9 values you need to provide 9 values.

You should review your code again. It can be quite confusing when the lines get so long. Also ByVal is not necessary. You can delete it out of your createNode Function.
