- This article and the attached source code shows how to parse XML documents using .NET XML class library classes.
- The application reads the XML file and then associates the xml tags to variables which are then displayed in a message box.
- The namespace System.Xml would be the only additional namespace that we would be using.
- Start of by initializing a new instance of the XmlDocument class.
- Private xDoc As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument().
- Next use the load method to load the XML document from the specified stream.
- xDoc.Load("sampleXML.xml").
- Use the method GetElementsByTagName() to obtain the addresses of a collection of elements that match the specified name.
- Private name As XmlNodeList = xDoc.GetElementsByTagName("myName").
- Private age As XmlNodeList = xDoc.GetElementsByTagName("myAge").
- XmlNodeList represents an ordered collection of nodes.
- Display the results in a message box.
- MessageBox.Show("Name: " & name(0).InnerText).
- InnerText will return the concatenated values of the node and all its children.
