VB2010 - Parsing XML With Xdocument?
Mar 19, 2011
I am using XDocument to parse an XML file. The first thing I'm trying to do is count the number of <entry> elements under the root. I have this code:
dim xmldoc as Xdocument = Xdocument.parse(string variable)
Messagebox.show(xmldoc.root.<entry>.Count)
I will paste the string containig the XML below (it's kinda long, but not too much). Everytime I run this script, it says there are 0 <entry> child elements, but that's clearly not the case. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.. not sure if it has something to do with namespaces or what.

Let me preface this by saying I'm VERY limited in my programming knowledge/experience using any language. I mean I have extremely basic capabilities and don't quite understand this stuff inside and out like most of you do.Anyway, I'm trying to code a fantasy football draft program in VB 2010 that utilizes the MS Internet Transfer Control 6.0. It will retrieve the HTML from a website, say ESPN, and parse the data into player names, rankings, and other stats. Should all be simple strings/sub-strings. It will then populate a DataGridView control so that each row in the DGV has the player's name, ranking, projections for the season, etc. After this has been populated, the program will be designed to allow me to draft players and assign them to the various teams automatically. I am the commissioner and we do an off-line draft, so I will just make picks for everyone and submit them online later.

I'm creating a vb.net winforms application that will take in user given strings, parse them, and print out labels with variable information. The given string will be used in all the labels, but the variable part of the string will change with each label.
My question is: is it better to parse the strings one time, then store those values in arrays, or to parse the string each time a label is printed? Which will perform better? Which is better practice? What is the proper way to test something like this?

I've just got to know XDocument in VB .NET and really like the way I can write XML documents in my code but have just one little problem I can't find a good solution for. The problem is with IIF that I use to check some conditions for example if a node should be printed or not.The problem is when I want to print multiple nodes (from a list of strings) if my conditions are true first. Here is the problem code where I'm checking few conditions and in true part I'll try to loop nodes:

I am up to the point where my application requests and receives a response from digg.com, but I cannot figure out how to properly dimension the XDocument class (as the tutorial shows) to read the xmlcontent that is retrieved.the tutorial is in C# (which I know very little about), but I do not see why I cannot access this class. Intellisense suggested replacing XDocument with Document.Run, but that got me nowhere. I also read that this class was part of the System.Xml.Linq namespace, but even trying to dimension my variable as
Dim xS as System.Xml.Linq.XDocument
gives me nothing.

I cannot get anything back from the following code... it always pops 0, and the _Qry is never populated, even though _MBXml is populated properly (hovering during debug shows it)
_MetaBasePath += "IIS6-MetaBase.xml" '"metabase.xml"
_MBXml = XDocument.Load(_MetaBasePath, LoadOptions.PreserveWhitespace)
_Qry = (From n In _MBXml.<IIsWebServer>

I have modified the MSDN example to reflect my problem. When using a namespace I can't get the document to validate as I would expect and when validating a document that doesnt have a namespace it validates regardless of whether or not it has an error in it or not.
Dim errors As Boolean = False
Private Sub XSDErrors(ByVal o As Object, ByVal e As ValidationEventArgs)
Console.WriteLine("{0}", e.Message)
errors = True
End Sub

I'm loading an xml document like this:
Dim doc As XDocument = XDocument.Load(FilePath)
I am then able to read the contents. However I need to get the namespace of the xml document. I can easily copy and paste it from the xml file and then import the namespace, but I'm building an importer class and I need to get the namespace so I can make my class as dynamic as possible.

I am stuck on a project which needs to exchange data between two programs who have different coontrol files. Program A just creates a a XML File whereas Program B needs the input as an array with two "columns" - but how do can I do the conversion?
Example:
The xml looks like:
` <Presentation>
<Options Name="1">
<Output>MyOutPut</Output>
[Code]....
But how can I achieve this? I am using vb.net and LINQ and have no idea how to solve this problem. I tried some LINQ queries but I get only indivudal nodes or attributes so I think it would be better to try a different idea.

How can I get the field.definition @name attribute when I query for the record nodes?
Here is the xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Table>
<fields>
<field.definition id="1" name="name" type="11" maxlength="250" default=""/>
<field.definition id="2" name="description" type="11" maxlength="250" default=""/>
<field.definition id="3" name="address" type="11" maxlength="250" default=""/>

and the issue I appear to be having is in the function "Unable to cast object of type'WhereSelectEnumerableIterator`2[System.Xml.Linq.XElement,System.String]' to type 'System.IConvertible'."What I am trying to do is populate a strongly typed list of the records, where the list should contain the record id, the field value, and the fields name

Been working on a function in my program that uses an embedded web browser to take the user to a certain website. In this case, I want it to search www.rhapsody.com for music tracks. The problem is, the parsing is all screwed up. The form can't send a multi-worded parameter.The function is like this:
ElseIf video = True Then
Dim temp2 = InputBox("Enter the artist and song title of the video you are watching, and Crystal Rain will try to find an audio version.")
WebBrowser1.Navigate("http:rhapsody.com/-search?query=" + temp2 + "&searchtype=RhapTrack")
End If
It puts the user input as a search query in the URL. This works fine for songs that are only one word. But when I try something like "I love you," it takes me to rhapsody saying:
Track Search Results: i%20love%20you
It's an annoying %20 parser thing in between each word. Is there a way to address this parsing problem? Somehow get the form to send the search to the web browser without the %20?

besides still being a newbie to programming. I need to import the information from a xml document into a sql server 2005 database. I have spent the last week searching the web trying to figure out how to do this. From what I can tell I should either use a T-Sql statement or SQL Bulk Copy i'm using vb.net 2008 Pro as the application front end. Here is the Schema and a small part of the xml document.

I am parsing some xml entries using the xmltextreader and looking for the elements I need by using different textreaders for each in a different loop as follows:
Dim treader As XmlTextReader = New XmlTextReader(New StringReader(item.ToString))
While treader.Read
If treader.Name = "summary" Then
content = treader.ReadElementContentAsString
[code].....
and I do the same for each element I am looking for. Now the problem arises when I get the results for each. I use an arraylist for each element and at times I will have an unequal amount like 100 for summary, 100 for title , 99 for id etc...is there a more efficient way of doing this by checking the entry if all the nodes are there and then just skipping it if it's not.
<entry>
<summary>
<id>

I'm having some trouble putting the pieces together.First of all, I'm currently using the WebBrowser component, but would be plenty happy with HtmlAgilityPack if it had some decent documentation, but for a newbie as VB.Net, it's a rough road.
<h3 class="this-class">
<p><a href="file.html">Title</a></p>
</h3>
[code]....
What I'd like to do is grab all the h3's with the "this-class" class and stash them into an array (one in each array element).I'd then like to search through each one and see which has "And Another Title" - which I already have the code to do... I just don't know how to do the first bit.
