Please excuse my stupidity, I tend to find the traversing XML overly complicated.
[Code]...
Once it gets to staffBio I get an error saying "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." obviously because that node does not exist. My question is how can I assign the value to a variable even when it is empty without having to do a conditional check before each assignment?
i noticed a problem with a program i made that occurs when an array element is called to use but is empty under a certain condtion therefor throwing an exception. i tried to define that element after the array was initialized to give it a default to use, but its not workin for me?
View 8 RepliesI'm deserializing some XML from an old application into an object in my current application. The old XML often has empty elements (<SomeElement />) which are currently deserialized as empty strings (""). I agree that this is the most appropriate behaviour, but it is a minor irritant; I'd rather they were deserialized as Nothing or ideally ignored - the effect would be the same. Is there a means of ignoring these elements? Or can I have them deserialized as Nothing?
View 2 RepliesIm trying to create an empty element in an xml file but still want to be able to close other elements without changing the empty element.What XMLTextWrite does to empty elements:
<Data>
<Feed>
<EmptyElement />
</Feed>
<Data>
When i use the text writer i cant use <writer>.StartEndElement() it starts to screw with my empty element. When im still having my program write inside feed. Here some code your you to drool over.

Using the XML elements below, I am trying to locate all table elements where they have a column@Name equal to a specific item such as "email" and return the Database@Location and Table@Name.

I have created a Data class to support this XML format. What I would like to do is create a LINQ Query to grab these 3 records and store them into a List of my DataClass.

In order to get rid of Trick nodes where value is null, I wrote:
myXmlElement.<Play>.<Trick>.Where(Function(m) m.<Trick>.Value = "").Remove()
I am trying to write a LINQ query which will return true if there are multiple objects which have a property with the same value.
Here is what I have come up with so far:
Formatters.Where(Function(f As DataModel.Formatter) _
Formatters.Select(Function(f2 As DataModel.Formatter) f2.Name.ToLower()).Contains(f.Name.ToLower())).Count > 1
However the above always returns true as long as their are more then 1 elements in the list?

I have to create an xml doc for a vendor who specifically states they must have their xml as follows:

If you, as some can't replicate these results, here's a screenshot:
I am finding this weird issue. When I do this > activities.Where(Function(a) (Not a.IsDeleted And a.ParentId = 100) It returns an in-memory query & when I try opening it up, it throws a object not set exception. This only happens when there were no items which satisfied the condition. Shouldn't it be returning an empty set? When there are items satisfying the condition, then it returns a list & works all good.

I have a query that 'selects' object of a type:

Where CStr(dataRow("Column1")) = "A"

What's happening is that if i set a break-point to the constructor of Foo and step, the constructor is hit and the parameters are loaded with the arguments. However, l has empty Foo objects (the members in every object are Nothing). What could be happening here?

I have a number of rewrite rules for a lot of things that I did in IIS7, like removing trailing slashes, canonnical URLs, lowercase lettering, and such. IIS altered my web.config, and everything works fine on the website, like it should. But in the Visual Studio web.config, the opening < rewrite > statement is underlined in blue, and at the bottom of VS, it says that the element 'system.webServer' has invalid child element 'rewrite'. But this is how IIS made it. I didn't do this manually. Should I be concerned with this VS error, or should I just leave as be, since it's working how it should work? Here's an example of my web.config:
