VS 2008 Use An XmlTextReader To Read Simple XML Data From A File?
Mar 17, 2010
I'm trying to use an XmlTextReader to read simple XML data from a file I wrote using the XmlTextWriter class. I've very little experience with XML and reading/writing from it, so it's been a little struggle. The writing part went OK though, but I can't really figure out how to do the reading. All examples I found using google handled it all slightly differently, and none made it really clear what they were trying to read...I am storing the position, size and a filepath of MDI windows using this format:
xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<MDIForms>
<Form X="208" Y="95" W="424" H="277">C:UsersNickDesktopabc.plm</Form>
[code].....
obviously I cannot do what I want with this. I need to get the attributes in each element too, and I need to read multiple elements and do something for each element...
I am currently facing an issue when i get response from webservice, after reading response in response stream i want to load this response stream using xmltextreader. but when Load(xmlTextreaderObj) is called, it raises an exception displaying that "Root Element is Missing". Here is code which am using.
Dim wResp As HttpWebResponse = CType(wReq.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse) Dim respStream As StreamReader = New StreamReader(wResp.GetResponseStream()) Dim Resp As String = respStream.ReadToEnd()[code]....
how to fix the exception that occurs when an .EXE file is run from the the Network Share. This application works fine when running from the local machine. I have been trying a lot to fix this issue for a while, but without any success.
I have a program with various settings, all stored in the app.config file. Often, I have a need to edit the connection string setting. I cannot do so using the My.Settings.myConnectionStringVariable method, as this is read-only. What I would like to do is have a big text box, and simply load the entire app.config file into it. The user could modify whatever they wanted, click save, and the program would save the new edits to the app.config file, and restart the program. I don't have a huge need to only pull out the connection string, as getting the text for the entire config file would suffice. However, if it is easier to pull out just the connection string from the config file, that would work too.
how I access it (aside from the ComboBox display method shown) in a way that will allow me to process it.What I want to do is read the data, store each of the values, then do some work on it. Can anyone give me a clue how I can access the information contained in 'DataSource'? [code]
I'm trying to build a program updater based around downloading XML files from a server. The idea being that the servers XML file contains the current version number and installer location. the updater either gets dumped in the startup folder or gets installed as a service, etc. The program successfully reads and parses the current version xml file and it successfully downloads the xml file from the server.
However when I try to parse the newly downloaded file from the server I get the error: 'IOException was unhandled' 'The process cannot access the file 'C:Program Files (x86)TestServerVersion.xml' because it is being used by another process.'
The code is as follows with the error marked by a comment on line 52: Imports System.IO Imports System.Xml.XmlTextReader Imports System.Net Module Module1 [Code] .....
It's still work in progress but there's not much point in writing code to download and execute the installer if I can't work out the location of the new version. In case it's of use here is the XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <VersionConfig> <AvailableVersion>2.0.0.0</AvailableVersion> <ApplicationUrl>http://192.168.2.226/EPI/2.0.0.0/</ApplicationUrl> </VersionConfig>
I am trying to read in demographics from a text file. What I am trying to do is use the commas in the text file as a stop and starting point for each field. Instead of explaining all will be clear once you look at the code.

I am new to using visual basic 2005. I have a tutorial book and I have followed it but it does not help me understand. I have a limited understanding of the net framework and the drag and drop features.
What I want to know is this: How do I make a simple name and address tracker file that I can enter data and save it as a file. The book does not cover this proceedure but It is what I want to do.
IE: Start VB2005 start new windows app. Name (whatever) drag 2 label's and 2 textbox's and one button for saving data entry. I want this program to enter name in textbox1 (press enter) then enter address in textbox2 (press enter) then save file (whatever name) when you click the button.
I have this application that basically scan in inventory. Is it possible, when a person completes the scan and clicks complete, to bring up a simple html file afterwards showing the data previously inserted? Or even populate a text file?
I have been reading about ADO, SQL, datasets, data adapters etc and have gone into information overload. My next step is to create a simple data file of my own that I can manipulate, update, sort etc in VB Express. Do I need another piece of software? I read about MySQL, which I understand is primarily used to access databases on the net, but can that be used to create a simple local data file on my PC? Can you simply hard code something in VB Express?
Ok, I'm half convinced that this is such a simple question that no one has ever needed to ask it in the history of google.I have a double datatype, which contains a currency value. This is returned by an API, so I can't just change it to decimal.The variable gets populated with this: 5.37979542325911E-315, which I took to mean that the current balance was $5.3797. This is incorrect!
So my question to you guys is: How do I convert a double to a data type I can use for currency?
Note: Cdec() and other casting to decimals hasn't workd. It's set the decimal to 0D.
Hi, I need to program a simple Web Browser that can search for keywords and store relevant data in another file.I am facing a problem with authentication, mainly cookies and maintaining a session.So I read that Web Browser Control is based on I.E.? So may I know how are cookies and session handled?Do I have to implement them manually or are they stored and retrieved from the same folder as the one used in I.E? If so, if I delete the I.E.'s cache, am I also deleteing the cache of any Web Browser I make using Web Browser Control?
I have a fairly simple XML file that I just want to read the data from.
It has 3 levels, root, main section and items. There are no attributes. I want to go to the first main section by name, then read in all the items. The items all are named the same. I've seen this done before, so it should be ok. No writing will be done. Basically this is a static data file

A VS 2008 desktop .NET program needs to open a PDF file and read its contents as data. That is, the program must scan through the PDF file searching for certain text. The program will not merely open the PDF file and display the contents using a control such as an ADOBE Reader control. It has to actually read the individual data within the PDF.
How can a .NET program read data within a PDF file?

I'm a beginner programmer, but this may not be a beginner program question. I would like to write a program in small basic or visual basic that reads data from a binary file. The data are formatted in hex and look like this:

But symbols such as . or , or ' cannot be included in the word length.
