using System; using System.Linq; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Linq; public class MainClass { public static void Main() { XElement xBookParticipant = new XElement("Book"); XComment xComment = new XComment("This person is retired."); xBookParticipant.Add(xComment); Console.WriteLine(xBookParticipant); } }
XML LINQ
Creating an XCData Node and Passing It As the Value of a Created Element
using System; using System.Linq; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Linq; public class MainClass { public static void Main() { XElement xErrorMessage = new XElement("HTMLMessage",new XCData("<H1>Invalid password.</H1>")); Console.WriteLine(xErrorMessage); } }
Creating an Attribute and Adding It to Its Element
using System; using System.Linq; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Linq; public class MainClass { public static void Main() { XElement xBookParticipant = new XElement("BookParticipant"); XAttribute xAttribute = new XAttribute("type", "Author"); xBookParticipant.Add(xAttribute); Console.WriteLine(xBookParticipant); } }
Creating an Attribute with Functional Construction
using System; using System.Linq; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Linq; public class MainClass { public static void Main() { XElement xBookParticipant = new XElement("BookParticipant", new XAttribute("type", "Author")); Console.WriteLine(xBookParticipant); } }
Using the LINQ to XML API to Create an XML Document
using System; using System.Linq; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Linq; public class MainClass { public static void Main() { XElement xElement = new XElement("Books", new XElement("Book", new XAttribute("type", "Author"), new XElement("FirstName", "J"), new XElement("LastName", "R"))); Console.WriteLine(xElement.ToString()); } }
Traversing Backward from the Current Node
using System; using System.Linq; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Linq; public class MainClass { public static void Main() { XElement firstParticipant; XDocument xDocument = new XDocument( new XDeclaration("1.0", "UTF-8", "yes"), new XDocumentType("Books", null, "Books.dtd", null), new XProcessingInstruction("Book", "out-of-print"), new XElement("Books", new XComment("Begin Of List"), firstParticipant = new XElement("Book", new XAttribute("type", "Author"), new XElement("FirstName", "J"), new XElement("LastName", "R")), new XElement("Book", new XAttribute("type", "Author"), new XElement("FirstName", "E"), new XElement("LastName", "B")), new XComment("End Of List"))); foreach (XNode node in firstParticipant.NextNode.ElementsBeforeSelf()) { Console.WriteLine(node); } } }
Traversing Down from an XElement Object via the Nodes Method with Additional Node Types
using System; using System.Linq; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Linq; public class MainClass { public static void Main() { XElement firstParticipant; XDocument xDocument = new XDocument(new XDeclaration("1.0", "UTF-8", "yes"), new XDocumentType("Books", null, "Books.dtd", null), new XProcessingInstruction("Book", "out-of-print"), new XElement("Books", firstParticipant = new XElement("Book", new XComment("a new author."), new XProcessingInstruction("AuthorHandler", "new"), new XAttribute("type", "Author"), new XElement("FirstName", "J"), new XElement("LastName", "R")), new XElement("Book", new XAttribute("type", "Author"), new XElement("FirstName", "E"), new XElement("LastName", "B")))); foreach (XNode node in firstParticipant.Nodes()) { Console.WriteLine(node); } } }
