Read the xml values using XMLTEXTREADER


Goals:

This project is used to read the xml value using c#.


Steps:

1) Create xml like:

<India>
<State>Tamil Nadu</State>
<State>Andhra Pradesh</State>
<State>Karnataka</State>
<State>Maharastira</State>
<State>Kerala</State>
<State>West Bengal</State>
<State>Misoram</State>
<State>Kashmir</State>
</India>


2) In the aspx.cs file copy the following code:


protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Write(ReadXML(Server.MapPath("reader.xml" )));
}
public string ReadXML(string xmlUrl)
{
System.Text.StringBuilder sbXML = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
XmlTextReader reader = null;
try
{
reader = new XmlTextReader(xmlUrl);

object oProvinceName = reader.NameTable.Add("State");

while (reader.Read())
{
if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
{
if (reader.Name.Equals(oProvinceName))
{
sbXML.Append(reader.ReadString()).Append("<br />");
}
}
}
return sbXML.ToString();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Response.Write(e.Message);
return "";
}
finally
{

if (reader != null)
reader.Close();
}
}

3) run the project.
