Writing/Reading XML

Writing to XML

            XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter("C:/TEMP/product.xml", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);

            writer.WriteStartDocument(true);

            writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;

            writer.Indentation = 2;

            writer.WriteStartElement("Properties");

            createNode("model", "modelS", writer);

            createNode("supplier", "x", writer);

            writer.WriteEndElement();

            writer.WriteEndDocument();

            writer.Close();

Helper Method

private static void createNode(string key, string value, XmlTextWriter writer)

        {

            writer.WriteStartElement(key);

            writer.WriteString(value);

            writer.WriteEndElement();

        }

Reading XML

XmlDataDocument xmldoc = new XmlDataDocument();

            XmlNodeList xmlnode;

            int i = 0;

            string str = null;

            FileStream fs = new FileStream("C:/TEMP/product.xml", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

            xmldoc.Load(fs);

            xmlnode = xmldoc.GetElementsByTagName("Properties")[0].ChildNodes;

            for (i = 0; i <= xmlnode.Count - 1; i++)

            {

                str = xmlnode[i].Name +" | "+xmlnode[i].ChildNodes.Item(0).InnerText.Trim();

                Console.WriteLine(str);

            }
