I have an XML file which is generated from a windows application like below "Repport.xml":
<ArrayOfAutoReportXML>
<AutoReportXML ReportName="Report1" ReportID="1" />
<AutoReportXML ReportName="Report2" ReportID="2" />
<AutoReportXML ReportName="Report3" ReportID="3" />
<AutoReportXML ReportName="Report4" ReportID="4" />
<AutoReportXML ReportName="Report5" ReportID="5" />
</ArrayOfAutoReportXML>
I am trying to check if ReportName already exists and i am trying below code to do that:
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream("Repport.xml", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite))
{
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(fs);
string attrReportname = (string) doc.Elements("AutoReportXML")
.Where(ox => ox.Attribute("ReportName").Value.ToString() == ReportName)
.FirstOrDefault();
}
And attrReportName
is null
.
The issue is that Elements
will only find the immediate child Elements from the current context. The only element returned by doc.Elements()
would be ArrayOfAutoReportXML
.
What you need is Descendants
, which traverse all elements in the document.
To check if a report exists based on that attribute:
var reportExists = doc
.Descendants("AutoReportXML")
.Attributes("ReportName")
.Any(x => x.Value == "Report1");
If you needed to check using more than one attribute:
var reportExists = doc
.Descendants("AutoReportXML")
.Any(x => (string)x.Attribute("ReportName") == "Report1" &&
(int)x.Attribute("ReportID") == 1);
See this fiddle for a working demo.
