Modify XML existing content in C#
- by Nano HE
Purpose: I plan to Create a XML file with XmlTextWriter and Modify/Update some Existing Content with XmlNode SelectSingleNode(), node.ChildNode[?].InnerText = someting, etc.
After I created the XML file with XmlTextWriter as below.
XmlTextWriter textWriter = new XmlTextWriter("D:\\learning\\cs\\myTest.xml", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
I practiced the code below. But failed to save my XML file.
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("D:\\learning\\cs\\myTest.xml");
XmlNode root = doc.DocumentElement;
XmlNode myNode;
myNode= root.SelectSingleNode("descendant::books");
....
textWriter.Close();
doc.Save("D:\\learning\\cs\\myTest.xml");
I found it is not good to produce like my way.
Is there any suggestion about it?
I am not clear about the concepts and usage of both XmlTextWriter and XmlNode in the same project.
Thank you for reading and replies.
