I have a collection of strings that are XML content. I want to iterate thru my collection and build a CSV file to stream to the user for download (sometimes it can be hundreds in the collection). This is my loop:
foreach (string response in items.Responses)
{
string xmlResponse = response;
//BUILD CSV HERE
}
This is what my XML content looks like for each iteration (xmlResponse). I want to put it in a flat file including the "properties" attributes:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<response>
<properties id="60375c90-9dd7-400f-aafb-a8726df409a9" name="Account Request" date="Thursday, March 04, 2010 2:14:07 PM" page="http://mydomain/sitefinity/CreateAccount.aspx" ip="192.168.1.255" browser="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100202 Firefox/3.5.8" referrer="http://mydomain/sitefinity/CreateAccount.aspx" confirmation="True" subject="Email from website: Account Request Form" sender="[email protected]" recipients="[email protected], , " />
