Call functions of window service from web service - C# Discussion Boards

Hi,

My program writes this xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Root>
<CarInformation />
<DateOfBuilding>9/15/2006</DateOfBuilding>
<TimeOfBuilding>9:48:51 AM</TimeOfBuilding>
<CarInformation />
</Root>

The "CarInformation" node is the problem.

It starts and ends with '/>'.

This is how it should be:

<Root>
<CarInformation>
<DateOfBuilding>9/15/2006</DateOfBuilding>
<TimeOfBuilding>9:48:51 AM</TimeOfBuilding>
</CarInformation>
</Root>

This is my code:

class XMLWriter
{
XmlDocument xmlDocument = null;
string path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory);
XmlElement element = null;
XmlNode node = null;
XmlText text = null;

public XMLWriter()
{
this.xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
this.xmlDocument.Load(path + "/file.xml");
}

public void WriteStartNodeAfterRoot(string startNode)
{
this.node = this.xmlDocument.CreateElement(startNode);
this.xmlDocument.DocumentElement.AppendChild(this.node);
this.xmlDocument.Save(path + "/file.xml");
}

public void WriteToXMLDoc(string elementString, string attribute)
{
this.element = this.xmlDocument.CreateElement(elementString);
this.text = this.xmlDocument.CreateTextNode(attribute);
this.xmlDocument.DocumentElement.AppendChild(this.element);
this.element.AppendChild(this.text);
this.xmlDocument.Save(path + "/file.xml");
}

public void WriteEndNodeBeforeRoot(string endNode)
{
this.node = this.xmlDocument.CreateElement(endNode);
this.xmlDocument.DocumentElement.AppendChild(this.node);
this.xmlDocument.Save(path + "/file.xml");
}
}

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

You have to get away from the concepts you used when working with the XmlTextWriter. You're now working with the DOM and there is no thing such starting an element and then end it somewhat later.
You create an element, append it as child to some other element and if it should have some child nodes itself they have to be appended too. A good example is the WriteToXMLDoc method where you create an element, append it to the documents root element and afterwards append a text node to the element itself.
To get the wanted XML you have to append the elements created inside WriteToXMLDoc to the previously created carinformation element instead of the xmlDocument.DocumentElement. This will require some refactoring of your class but that shouldn't be too hard.

Hi Stefan,

I refactored my class. I removed the 2 methods wich i don't need according to you.

This is how it looks like now:

class XMLWriter
{
string path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory);
XmlDocument xmlDocument = null;
XmlElement element = null;
XmlText text = null;

public XMLWriter()
{
this.xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
this.xmlDocument.AppendChild(this.xmlDocument.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", "UTF-8", null));

this.xmlDocument.Load(path + "/file.xml");
this.xmlDocument["Root"].AppendChild(this.xmlDocument.CreateElement("CarInformation"));
}

public void WriteToXMLDoc(string elementString, string value)
{
this.element = this.xmlDocument.CreateElement(elementString);
this.text = this.xmlDocument.CreateTextNode(value);
this.xmlDocument["Root"]["CarInformation"].AppendChild(this.element);
this.element.AppendChild(this.text);
this.xmlDocument.Save(path + "/file.xml");
}
}

This is how the output of the xml file looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Root>
<CarInformation>
<DateOfBuilding>9/15/2006</DateOfBuilding>
<TimeOfBuilding>1:01:13 PM</TimeOfBuilding>
<DateOfBuilding>9/15/2006</DateOfBuilding>
<TimeOfBuilding>1:02:06 PM</TimeOfBuilding>
</CarInformation>
<CarInformation />
</Root>

It adds everything within the first "<CarInformation>".

What am i doing wrong this time?

Thanks in advance!

this.xmlDocument["Root"]["CarInformation"].AppendChild(this.element);

The above line always successes the first found CarInformation node. Replacing it with the following should resolve the problem

this.xmlDocument.DocumentElement.LastChild.AppendChild(this.element);

Thanks Stefan. I am using almost the same code to create and add toolbar buttons. But the questions was, how can i add a dynamic list to the above created toolbarbutton 'b'. (Suppose i am getting some values from a file and those values are supposed to be changed).

I'm not sure how this an be accomplished as I've never worked with ToolBar. Documentation of the ToolBarButtonStyle enumeration indicates that the code should follow this easy example:

MenuItem menuItem1 = new MenuItem("Print");
ContextMenu contextMenu1 = new ContextMenu(new MenuItem[]{menuItem1});
ToolBarButton b = new ToolBarButton ();
b.DropDownMenu = contextMenu1;

You'll have to create some more MenuItems and use the file values as text.

TreeView and DataGrid Problem

14-Sep-06 20:50

Hi,
I have a form in my application on which a DataGrid and a tree view are present. The contents of the TreeView change with the change of the Row number of the grid. When i open the form for the first time, every thing is ok. When i close the form and then reopen it without closing my application, then the problem starts. On load, every thing goes fine, but when i select a different row, it gives exception with the message, ' Can't access disposed off object. Object name: TreeView'.' After this message the contents of the TreeView change accurately.
I am not disposing the tree view. Even in debug mode, when i check the contents of the treeview, it shows its contents correctly. But as soon as the statement containing that treeview executes, the exception is raised.
Any help, suggetion please...

You can use following:
