Tài liệu Using an XmlDocument Object to Store an XML Document doc

Using an XmlDocument Object to Store an XML Document You use an object of the XmlDocument class to represent an XML document in a C# program. An XmlDocument object stores the nodes of the XML document in objects of the XmlNode class. You can, for example, load rows from the database into a DataSet object, and then load an XML representation of those rows into an XmlDocument object. Table 16.5 shows some of the XmlDocument properties; Table 16.6 shows some of the XmlDocument methods; and Table 16.7 shows the XmlDocument events.

NodeInserted XmlNodeChangedEventHandler Fires after a node is inserted. NodeRemoving XmlNodeChangedEventHandler Fires before a node is removed. NodeRemoved XmlNodeChangedEventHandler Fires after a node is removed. Listing 16.17 shows a program that illustrates the use of an XmlDocument object. This program performs the following steps: 1. Creates a DataSet object named myDataSet and fills it with the top two rows from the Customers table. 2. Creates an XmlDocument object named myXmlDocument, and then loads it with the XML from myDataSet. You can use the GetXml() method to return the customer rows in myDataSet as a string containing a complete XML document. You can then use the output string from GetXml() as the input to the LoadXml() method of myXmlDocument; this loads myXmlDocument with the XML document containing the customer details. 3. Displays the XML in myXmlDocument using the Save() method, passing Console.Out to the Save() method. This results in the XML document being displayed on the screen. 4. Retrieves the XmlNode objects in myXmlDocument using the SelectNodes() method, and then displays the text contained in the child nodes of each XmlNode using the InnerText property. You pass an XPath expression to SelectNodes() to retrieve the required nodes. 5. Retrieves the XmlNode for the ANATR customer using the SelectSingleNode() method, and displays the text contained in the child nodes of this XmlNode. You pass an XPath expression to SelectSingleNode() to retrieve the required node. Listing 16.17: USINGXMLDOCUMENT.CS /* UsingXmlDocument.cs illustrates the use of an XmlDocument object */ using System; using System.Data; using System.Data.SqlClient; using System.Xml; class UsingXmlDocument { public static void Main() { SqlConnection mySqlConnection = new SqlConnection( "server=localhost;database=Northwind;uid=sa;pwd=sa" ); SqlCommand mySqlCommand = mySqlConnection.CreateCommand(); mySqlCommand.CommandText = "SELECT TOP 2 CustomerID, CompanyName, Country "+ "FROM Customers "+ "ORDER BY CustomerID"; SqlDataAdapter mySqlDataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(); mySqlDataAdapter.SelectCommand = mySqlCommand; // step 1: create a DataSet object and fill it with the top 2 rows // from the Customers table DataSet myDataSet = new DataSet(); mySqlConnection.Open(); mySqlDataAdapter.Fill(myDataSet, "Customers"); mySqlConnection.Close(); // step 2: create an XmlDocument object and load it with the XML from // the DataSet; the GetXml() method returns the rows in // myDataSet as a string containing a complete XML document; and // the LoadXml() method loads myXmlDocument with the XML document // string returned by GetXml() XmlDocument myXmlDocument = new XmlDocument(); myXmlDocument.LoadXml(myDataSet.GetXml()); // step 3: display the XML in myXmlDocument using the Save() method Console.WriteLine("Contents of myXmlDocument:"); myXmlDocument.Save(Console.Out); // step 4: retrieve the XmlNode objects in myXmlDocument using the // SelectNodes() method; you pass an XPath expression to SelectNodes() Console.WriteLine("\n\nCustomers:"); foreach (XmlNode myXmlNode in myXmlDocument.SelectNodes("/NewDataSet/Customers")) { Console.WriteLine("CustomerID = "+ myXmlNode.ChildNodes[0].InnerText); Console.WriteLine("CompanyName = "+ myXmlNode.ChildNodes[1].InnerText); Console.WriteLine("Country = "+ myXmlNode.ChildNodes[2].InnerText); } // step 5: retrieve the XmlNode for the ANATR customer using // the SelectSingleNode() method; you pass an XPath // expression to SelectSingleNode Console.WriteLine("\nRetrieving node with CustomerID of ANATR"); XmlNode myXmlNode2 = myXmlDocument.SelectSingleNode( "/NewDataSet/Customers[CustomerID=\" ANATR\"]" ); Console.WriteLine("CustomerID = "+ myXmlNode2.ChildNodes[0].InnerText); Console.WriteLine("CompanyName = "+ myXmlNode2.ChildNodes[1].InnerText); Console.WriteLine("Country = "+ myXmlNode2.ChildNodes[2].InnerText); } } Remember, you'll need to change the connection string for your SqlConnection object to connect to your database near the start of this program. The output from this program is as follows: Contents of myXmlDocument: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="IBM437"?> <NewDataSet> <Customers> <CustomerID>ALFKI</CustomerID> <CompanyName>Alfreds Futterkiste</CompanyName> <Country>Germany</Country> </Customers> <Customers> <CustomerID>ANATR</CustomerID> <CompanyName>Ana Trujillo Emparedados y helados</CompanyName> <Country>Mexico</Country> </Customers> </NewDataSet> Customers: CustomerID = ALFKI CompanyName = Alfreds Futterkiste Country = Germany CustomerID = ANATR CompanyName = Ana Trujillo Emparedados y helados Country = Mexico Retrieving node with CustomerID of ANATR CustomerID = ANATR CompanyName = Ana Trujillo Emparedados y helados Country = Mexico . Using an XmlDocument Object to Store an XML Document You use an object of the XmlDocument class to represent an XML document in a C# program. An XmlDocument. XML document; and // the LoadXml() method loads myXmlDocument with the XML document // string returned by GetXml() XmlDocument myXmlDocument = new XmlDocument( );
