Hopefully you can make it out but for each day of the forecast the same element name is used, in this case <forecast>. The problem im having is when i read in the data from the forecast element it seems to only bring back the first instance and last instance of the forecast elements. so effectively im able to get todays weather and the weather 4 days from now as thats the last entry. I use the following code in my application:
I then repeat this code incrementing the values by 1 hoping that it would simply move to the next instance of the forecast element giving me the next days weather but it does not, as i mentioned it only brings back the current days weather and the weather 4 days from now.
Does anyone know how i might code this so that its possible to read each element seperately?

Try to put the code in the .. tags for better readibility and also put the code where you are incrementing the counter.

This is the code I have so far far for my weather report:
public WeatherReport.WeatherReport GetWeatherReport(string location)
{
WeatherReport.WeatherReport currentWeatherReport = new WeatherReport.WeatherReport();
// URL corresponding to the MSN REST Web Service - see how the locationCode
// is passed in parameter to this URL.
// The XMLTextReader opens up the URL and receives the XML returned by th server
// http://weather.service.msn.com/data.aspx?src=vista&wealocations=wc:USWA0367
string feedUrl = "http://weather.service.msn.com/data.aspx?src=vista&wealocations=" + location;
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(feedUrl);
bool firstForecastDone = false;
string skyImagesRelativeUrl = "Images/";
int MaxTemp, MinTemp, CurrentTemp, FeelsLike, Humidity, SkyCode, SkyCode4, MaxTemp4, MinTemp4, Precip4;
try
{
while (reader.Read())
{
if ((reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element) && (reader.Name == "weather"))
{
reader.MoveToAttribute("weatherlocationname");
currentWeatherReport.Location = reader.Value;
Im simply adding new variables myself such as Day1, Day2 etc. I know there is a way to goto the next attribute but is there a way to go to the next element or something like that. Would have been much easier if the name of the elements were different.

I woud use Xpath to select the correct XmlNodes. When you have done that, you can simply loop through the XmlNodeList
Try next
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("http://weather.service.msn.com/data.aspx?src=vista&wealocations=wc:USWA0367");
XmlNodeList forecast_list = doc.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("weather/forecast");
foreach (XmlNode forecast in forecast_list) {
string day = forecast.Attributes["day"].Value;
}

Ok ok, I like your thinking. This does work and it brings back each day. How would I then store each of these values.
I.e the first value it returns I want to be stored as Day1 and then the next value would be stored as Day2 etc until it has no more attributes to store.

It is not really a nice way to code properties like 'Day1' to 'Day4'. What will happens if the weatherreport you recieve contains 5 days instead of 4?
I would use an List<T> to save the forecasts of each day
public class ForeCast{
public string Day{get;set;}
public int MaxTemperature{get;set;}
//and all order forecast element of one day
}
...
public class WeatherReport{
private List<ForeCast> foreCast_list = new List<ForeCast>();
public List<ForeCast> ForeCast_list {
get{ return foreCast_list; }
set { foreCast_list = value; }
}
...
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("http://weather.service.msn.com/data.aspx?src=vista&wealocations=wc:USWA0367");
XmlNodeList forecast_list = doc.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("weather/forecast");
WeatherReport report = new WeatherReport();
foreach (XmlNode forecast in forecast_list) {
ForeCast f = new ForeCast();
f.Day = forecast.Attributes["day"].Value;
f.MaxTemperature = Convert.ToInt32(forecast.Attributes["high"].Value);
report.ForeCast_list.Add(f);
}
}
Now you can loop through the report.ForeCast_list to show the data of each day

How do I display that data on my form?
Currently I have a number of labels on my main form which display all of the weather details using a WeatherReportBindingSource.
I would like to have each attribute binded to a label so that i can move the data around on my form.

Also the XML feed is fixed, it will only ever contain 5 forecast elements
dannystommen
August 27th, 2009, 02:07 AM
You can use Reflection to find the correct property
WeatherReport report = new WeatherReport();
int daynumber = 1;
foreach (XmlNode forecast in forecast_list) {
PropertyInfo day = report.GetType().GetProperty("Day" + daynumber);
day.SetValue(report, forecast.Attributes["day"].Value, null);
daynumber++;
}
Now, all days (Day1, Day2 ... ) will have the correct value
InsyteMedia
August 27th, 2009, 02:55 AM
Ok, does this replace the code that you gave me in the previous post? i.e. does that code replace the code below or is it used somewhere else?
WeatherReport report = new WeatherReport();
foreach (XmlNode forecast in forecast_list) {
ForeCast f = new ForeCast();
f.Day = forecast.Attributes["day"].Value;
f.MaxTemperature = Convert.ToInt32(forecast.Attributes["high"].Value);
report.ForeCast_list.Add(f);
}

Also the XML feed is fixed, it will only ever contain 5 forecast elements
I assumed you would like to use the WeatherReport class like you have it now, thus with the Day1, Day2... properties. If so, use the code form my previous post that uses Reflection.
WeatherReport report = new WeatherReport();
int daynumber = 1;
foreach (XmlNode forecast in forecast_list) {
PropertyInfo day = report.GetType().GetProperty("Day" + daynumber);
day.SetValue(report, forecast.Attributes["day"].Value, null);
daynumber++;
}
If you want to use the WeatherReport class like I suggested (with the List<ForeCast> property), then use the code you just posted
WeatherReport report = new WeatherReport();
foreach (XmlNode forecast in forecast_list) {
ForeCast f = new ForeCast();
f.Day = forecast.Attributes["day"].Value;
f.MaxTemperature = Convert.ToInt32(forecast.Attributes["high"].Value);
report.ForeCast_list.Add(f);
}

Hiya, Ive ran into a problem when retreiving the min and max values from the feed now.
When using the following code you provided
PropertyInfo high = currentWeatherReport.GetType().GetProperty("MaxTemperatureForecast" + maxTempnumber);
high.SetValue(currentWeatherReport, forecast.Attributes["high"].Value, null);
maxTempnumber++;
I need to convert the value into an integer before saving the value, how can i do that. Ive tried using the convert.toint32 function but it doesnt seem to work, unless ive placed it in the wrong place. As the code is above it saves it as a string but i need an int.
so this works in terms of getting the correct SkyCode value and it stores them with no problem. But i now need to generate a URL based on the day number
so it generates a URL which is : skyImagesRelativeUrl + currentWeatherReport.SkyCode + ".gif"
so this now needs to be something like currentWeatherReport.SkyCode + skycodenumber + ".gif" but im not sure.
also it will then need to save as SkyImage1-5 as before, how might i do this, in the same way as the others?

just for the hell of it, if you are using .Net 3.5, you can use LINQ-To-XML..

Now for the current day the following code is used to get the skycode and the image:
reader.MoveToAttribute("skycode");
int.TryParse(reader.Value, out SkyCode);
currentWeatherReport.SkyCode = SkyCode;
string fileName = skyImagesRelativeUrl + currentWeatherReport.SkyCode + ".gif";
currentWeatherReport.SkyImage = new Bitmap(fileName);
this stores the skycode and add the URL to the images folder to it so in the end it would say \images\12.gif and that would be used to get the image.
im now doing a forecast from 4 additional days and with the other attributes ive saved them as attribute1, attribute2..., not the best way i know but its the method ive done.
i now want to uses the same kind of code as above but instead of saving it as SkyImage i want it to be SkyImage1, SkyImage2......

Now for the current day the following code is used to get the skycode and the image:
reader.MoveToAttribute("skycode");
int.TryParse(reader.Value, out SkyCode);
currentWeatherReport.SkyCode = SkyCode;
string fileName = skyImagesRelativeUrl + currentWeatherReport.SkyCode + ".gif";
currentWeatherReport.SkyImage = new Bitmap(fileName);
this stores the skycode and add the URL to the images folder to it so in the end it would say \images\12.gif and that would be used to get the image.
im now doing a forecast from 4 additional days and with the other attributes ive saved them as attribute1, attribute2..., not the best way i know but its the method ive done.
i now want to uses the same kind of code as above but instead of saving it as SkyImage i want it to be SkyImage1, SkyImage2......

That isn't an example of a lot of IF statements. That's because you are using ELSE IF with each one. This groups them into one SELECT statement, and only one executes each time.
