XmlReader

In this chapter you will learn:

  1. Create XmlReader from FileStream

Create XmlReader

using System;/*  j  av a2 s.  c  om*/
using System.Xml;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;

public class MainClass 
{
  private static void Main()
  {
    FileStream fs = new FileStream("products.xml", FileMode.Create);

        XmlWriter w = XmlWriter.Create(fs); 

    w.WriteStartDocument();
    w.WriteStartElement("products");

    // Write a product.
    w.WriteStartElement("product");
    w.WriteAttributeString("id", "1001");  
    w.WriteElementString("productName", "Coffee");
    w.WriteElementString("productPrice", "0.99");
    w.WriteEndElement();

    w.WriteEndDocument();
    w.Flush();
    fs.Close();
      
    fs = new FileStream("products.xml", FileMode.Open);
        
        XmlReader r = XmlReader.Create(fs);
    
    while (r.Read())
    {
      if (r.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
      {
        Console.WriteLine();
        Console.WriteLine("<" + r.Name + ">");
        if (r.HasAttributes)
        {
          for (int i = 0; i < r.AttributeCount; i++)
          {
            Console.WriteLine("\tATTRIBUTE: " + r.GetAttribute(i));
                    }
        }
      }
      else if (r.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Text)
      {                    
        Console.WriteLine("\tVALUE: " + r.Value);
      }
    }
  }
}
