xmltextreader

I've searched a lot but I couldn't find a propper solution for my problem. I wrote a xml file containing all episode information of a TV-Show. It's 38 kb and contains attributes and strings for about 680 variables. At first I simply read it with the help of XMLTextReader which worked fine with my quadcore. But my wifes five year old laptop took about 30 seconds to read it. So I thought about multithreading but I get an exception because the file is already opened. Thread start looks like this while (reader.Read()) { ... else if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element) { if (reader.Name.Equals(

I'm parsing some XML in C#. I'm getting it from a database, and so converting it to a MemoryStream before reading it with an XmlTextReader. The problem is that I get this error: Name cannot begin with the ' ' character, hexadecimal value 0x20. Line 1, position 3. Following is my XML and my code for reading it (it's coming out of the database alright, no blank first character). Any suggestions? XML: <? xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <form> <e order="0" type="custom" name="test"> <fi type="text" /> <o /> </e> <e order="1" type="zip" /> <e order="2" type="state" /> </form> C#: byte[]

I'm saving 2-dimensional coordinates on an XML file with a structure similar to: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <grid> <coordinate time="78"> <initial>540:672</initial> <final>540:672</final> </coordinate> </grid> I can open the XML file and read it via the XmlTextReader, but how do I loop through the coordinates specifically to retrieve both the time attribute and data between the initial and final nodes in some format similar to: string initial = "540:672"; string final = "540:672"; int time = 78; New Code: My New Code: //Read the XML file. XDocument xmlDoc = XDocument.Load("C:\

This question already has an answer here: How to parse invalid (bad / not well-formed) XML? 4 answers I got an XML file from 3rd party that I must import in my app, and XML had elements with unescaped & in inner text, and they don't wont to fix that ! So my question is what is the best way to deal with this problem ? This XML is pretty big and that fix has to be fast, my first solution is just replace & character with ampersand but really I don't like this "solution" for obvious reasons. I don't know how to use XmlStringReader with such XML because is throws exception on such lines, so I can't

I'm in the position to parse XML in .NET. Now I have the choice between at least XmlTextReader and XDocument . Are there any comparisons between those two (or any other XML parsers contained in the framework)? Maybe this could help me to decide without trying both of them in depth. The XML files are expected to be rather small, speed and memory usage are a minor issue compared to easiness of use. :-) (I'm going to use them from C# and/or IronPython.) Thanks! If you're happy reading everything into memory, use XDocument . It'll make your life much easier. LINQ to XML is a lovely API. Use an

What is the best way to read RSS feeds ? I am using XmlTextReader to achieve this. Is there any other best way to do it? XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(strURL); DataSet ds = new DataSet(); ds.ReadXml(reader); After reading the RSS feed using XmlTextReader , is there any way I can populate data to ListItem instead of DataSet ? The System.ServiceModel.Syndication namespace has some stuff for you, namely the SyndicationFeed class. This is a fairly simple example. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/steveres/archive/2008/01/20/using-syndicationfeed-to-displaying-photos-from-spaces-live-com.aspx
