I'm developing my first WPF application with C# but I have a problem when I'm trying to read a Xml attribute.
I have the following Xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Dictionary EnglishName="Italian" CultureName="Italian" Culture="">
<!-- MainWindow -->
<Value ID="WpfApplication1.MainWindow.BtnDrawCircle" Content="Circonferenza"/>
<Value ID="WpfApplication1.MainWindow.BtnDrawLine" Content="Linea"/>
....
....
</Dictionary>`
Now I try to get the Attribute "Content" with the following method:
public static string ReadNodeAttribute(string IDAttribute)
{
try
{
XmlDocument _Doc = new XmlDocument();
_Doc.Load("myPath\\Language\\it-IT.xml");
string _Value = _Doc.SelectSingleNode("//Value[@ID=" + IDAttribute + "]").Attributes["Content"].Value.ToString();
return _Value;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return null;
}
}
But it doesn't work:
Error : ex {"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."} System.Exception {System.NullReferenceException}
I have tried using Linq to Xml
XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(Server.MapPath("path"));
var val = xdoc.Descendants("Value").Where(i => i.Attribute("ID").Value == IDAttribute).FirstOrDefault().Attribute("Content").Value;
Inorder to use this you have to include System.Xml.Linq
namespace
You got
null reference exception
because you didn't check for null in case your IDAttribute doesn't exist in the XML .
Just change to your path and it will work.
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Xml.Linq;
public static string ReadNodeAttribute(string IDAttribute)
{
string _Value = "";
try
{
//I used System.IO.Path.GetFullPath because I tried it with ConsoleApplication.
//Use what ever work for you to load the xml.
XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(System.IO.Path.GetFullPath("XMLFile1.xml"));
var myValue = xdoc.Descendants("Value").FirstOrDefault(i => i.Attribute("ID").Value == IDAttribute);
if (myValue != null)
{
_Value = myValue.Attribute("Content").Value;
return _Value;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return null;
}
return _Value;
}
