How to parse deeply nested using LINQ to XML
- by Picflight
How do I parse the following XML using LINQ?
I need to insert into a database table OrderNumber, ShipAddress, ShipCity, ShipState for each Order & OrderCancelled.
Then in a separate table I need to insert OrderId from the Returns/Amount section.
<!-- language: lang-xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<OrdersReport Date="2012-08-01">
<Client>
<ClientId>1</ClientId>
<Orders>
<Order>
<OrderNumber>1</OrderNumber>
<ShipAddress>123 Main St.</ShipAddress>
<ShipCity>MyCity</ShipCity>
<ShipState>AZ</ShipState>
</Order>
<Order>
<OrderNumber>2</OrderNumber>
<ShipAddress>111 Main St.</ShipAddress>
<ShipCity>OtherCity</ShipCity>
<ShipState>AL</ShipState>
</Order>
<OrderCancelled>
<OrderNumber>3</OrderNumber>
<ShipAddress>111 Main St.</ShipAddress>
<ShipCity>OtherCity</ShipCity>
<ShipState>AL</ShipState>
</OrderCancelled>
</Orders>
<Returns>
<Amount>
<OrderId>2</OrderId>
<OrderId>3</OrderId>
</Amount>
</Returns>
</Client>
<Client>
<ClientId>2</ClientId>
<!-- Same Tree structure as Client 1 -->
</Client>
</OrdersReport>
Not sure why the XML is not showing red and blue colors and not indenting properly. :-(
