Need help with XML

[kytro360]

Hello, I have a file I saved as an XML file and want different parts of the file to display in two text boxes. What is happening is the whole content of the file displays in a textbox as:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
    <text>
    h
    hkj
    </text>

...in both text boxes but I want individual parts to go into each file.

This is the content inside the file:

    <test>
    //gibberish text :)
    h
    hkj
    </test>

And this is the code for the XML:

    StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
     
     
     
    // Create an XmlReader
    using (XmlTextReader xmlString = new XmlTextReader("C:\\fileLocation.xml"))
    {
    XmlWriterSettings ws = new XmlWriterSettings();
    ws.Indent = true;
    using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(output, ws))
    {
     
    // Parse the file and display each of the nodes.
    while (xmlString.Read())
    {
    switch (xmlString.NodeType)
    {
    case XmlNodeType.Element:
    writer.WriteStartElement(xmlString.Name);
    break;
    case XmlNodeType.Text:
    writer.WriteString(xmlString.Value);
    break;
    case XmlNodeType.XmlDeclaration:
    case XmlNodeType.ProcessingInstruction:
    writer.WriteProcessingInstruction(xmlString.Name, xmlString.Value);
    break;
    case XmlNodeType.Comment:
    writer.WriteComment(xmlString.Value);
    break;
    case XmlNodeType.EndElement:
    writer.WriteFullEndElement();
    break;
    }
    }
     
    }
    }
    textBox1.Text = output.ToString();
    textBox2.Text = output.ToString();
     
    }

OK, maybe I am just not fully understanding why you are doing it this way, but there are multiple other ways to accomplish this. If you are just taking an elements value and putting it into a text box then something like this shoudl be all you need...

protectedvoid HandleXMLText()
{
  string sLang = getLang();
  var xmlFile = Server.MapPath( string.Format("/xml/{0}/HA_survey.xml", sLang) );
  if (!System.IO.File.Exists(xmlFile))
  {
     thrownew System.IO.FileNotFoundException(
        "XML translation file not found in method HandleXMLText()", xmlFile);
  }
  XmlDocument doc = newXmlDocument();
  doc.Load(xmlFile);
  XmlNode root = doc.DocumentElement;
  Int32 currentSurveyPage = this.HASurveySessionPage; //get page
  // Literal Language text from xml
  // General Page text
  litHealthEvalTitle.Text = root.SelectSingleNode("litHealthEvalTitle").ChildNodes[0].Value;
  litProfInfo.Text = root.SelectSingleNode("litProfInfo").ChildNodes[0].Value;

}

substitute the litteral.Text to your textbox.Text

But also you would probably want better segmentation of the data you are storing in the XML similar to this for my example to work:

<?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="utf-8"?>
  <article>
     <litHealthEvalTitle><![CDATA[Health Evaluation:]]></litHealthEvalTitle>
     <litProfInfo><![CDATA[Profile Information]]></litProfInfo>
</article>

Now if you are looking for mor dynamic stuff you should let us know about that, but simple xml value to mapping can be done like above.
