Linq Query to Update Nested Array Items?
- by Brett
I have an object structure generated from xsd.exe. Roughly, it consists of 3 nested arrays: protocols, sources and reports. The xml looks like this:
<protocols>
<protocol>
<source>
<report />
<report />
</source>
<source>
<report />
<report />
</source>
</protocol>
<!-- more protocols -->
</protocols>
I need to update a single "Report" within the data structure. A brute force algorithm is shown below. I know that this could be done using XDocument and Linq, but I'd prefer to update the data structure and then serialize the structure back to disk.
Thoughts?

bool updated = false;
foreach (ProtocolsProtocol protocol in protocols.Protocol)
{
if (updated)
break;
foreach (ProtocolsProtocolSource source in protocol.Source)
{
if (updated)
break;
for (int i = 0; i < source.Report.Length; i++)
{
ProtocolsProtocolSourceReport currentReport = source.Report[i];
if (currentReport.Id == report.Id)
{
currentReport.Attribute1 = report.Attribute1;
currentReport.Attribute2 = report.Attribute2;
updated = true;
break;
}
}
}
}
