now for tags like PersonalInfo,contactInfo,Address there will be only one record, but for tags like "OtherInfo","academicInfo","ProfessionalInfo" there will be multiple records so in xml there are tags for that.

now to edit tags having one record only for one user i did coding like:

private void FillFamilyInfoControls(XElement rootElement)       {           ddlSunsign.DataBind();          XElement parentElement;             string xPathQuery = "FamilyInfo/Fields";            parentElement
= rootElement.XPathSelectElement(xPathQuery);           txtGallantryHistory.Text = parentElement.Element("GallantryHistory").Attribute("value").Value;          txtEthinicity.Text = parentElement.Element("Ethinicity").Attribute("value").Value;          txtKulDev.Text = parentElement.Element("KulDev").Attribute("value").Value;          txtKulDevi.Text = parentElement.Element("KulDevi").Attribute("value").Value;            txtCaste.Text = parentElement.Element("Caste").Attribute("value").Value;            ddlSunsign.SelectedValue = parentElement.Element("SunSignId").Attribute("value").Value;             ddlSunsign.SelectedItem.Text = parentElement.Element("SunSignName").Attribute("value").Value;       }       private XElement UpdateFamilyInfoXML(XElement rootElement)      {           XElement parentElement;             string xPathQuery = "FamilyInfo/Fields";            parentElement
= rootElement.XPathSelectElement(xPathQuery);           parentElement.Element("GallantryHistory").Attribute("value").Value
= txtGallantryHistory.Text;             parentElement.Element("Ethinicity").Attribute("value").Value
= txtEthinicity.Text;           parentElement.Element("KulDev").Attribute("value").Value
= txtKulDev.Text;           parentElement.Element("KulDevi").Attribute("value").Value
= txtKulDevi.Text;          parentElement.Element("Caste").Attribute("value").Value
= txtCaste.Text;            parentElement.Element("SunSignId").Attribute("value").Value
= ddlSunsign.SelectedItem.Value;            parentElement.Element("SunSignName").Attribute("value").Value
= ddlSunsign.SelectedItem.Text;             parentElement.Element("ModifiedBy").Attribute("value").Value
= UMSession.CurrentLoggedInUser.UserId.ToString();          parentElement.Element("ModifiedOn").Attribute("value").Value
= System.DateTime.Now.ToString();           return rootElement;             //rootElement.XPathSelectElement(xPathQuery)
= parentElement;        }

these 2 functions i have used to update xml and to get data from xml and fill into controls.

but for the tags where there are multiple records... i am not able to find any solution /control using which i an do it easily. coz my field's value is in attribute named "Value" when in the examples i saw its between opening and closing tag..

i have 2 methods to do so.

1

. i make one page to edit a single record and pass id of record to that page on editing. open the page in iframe on same page to edit and in page_load get data from database for id passed and fill it in control.

2

. i store xml on server as physical file and use it in page i opened in iframe to edit the record.

so i am confused... can anybody please guide me that what shpould i do to let user provide interface to edit this xml data/user profile ?
