using System.Net and System.XML Question

[newscorrespondent]

My XML knowledge is extreemly limited but learning not quite fast enough!

I am getting some XML back from the USPS web service as a string

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ZipCodeLookupResponse><Address ID="0"><Address2>6406 IVY
LN</Address2><City>GREENBELT</City><State>MD</State><Zip5>20770</Zip5><Zip4>1440</Zip4></Address></ZipCodeLookupResponse>


I create a System.Xml.XmlDocument and then load the string.

How do I access the value of "Address ID=" from within C# code using the
XMLDocument?

From one of my books I think this is an attribute but when I check it tells
me there are no attributes in the document.


Thanks

Try:

doc.SelectSingleNode("//ZipCodeLookupResponse/Address/@ID").Value

It's in VB, but you can do the same thing in C#.

This may help you too in the future.

I feel your pain. I am working on a C# Web service that is to make contact
with a 3rd party Web service to send/receive XML Documents.

I am learning more about XML than I ever cared to know.

I think I got the answer. The Address ID is an attribute of a node not the
document which I was originally checking.

 

[Yasir Zaheer]

Actually, the attribute is not "Address ID", it is only "ID"
associated with the node "Address". you can check the values like :
xmlDocument.SelectSingleNode("//ZipCodeLookupResponse/
Address").Attributes["ID"].Value. and this will give you the value of
that attribute.

Prajem pekný deň.
Potreboval by som vygenerovať funkciou Random
Äíslo do nejakej premennej. V praxi by som chcel
vytvoriÅ¥ nejaký príklad pre výpoÄet.
Nech som hľadal ako hľadal, ale niÄ som rozumné nenaÅ¡iel.
Nemáte nejaký slušný Netlink, kde by to bolo možné doštudovať?
Dik za pomoc.
S pozdravom Miloš
