I would like to add multiple records to the xml file and here is the code which I’m using,
XmlTextWriter xwriter = new XmlTextWriter("C:\\Users\\Desktop\\TestFolder\\Xdoc1.xml", Encoding.UTF8);
xwriter.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
xwriter.WriteStartElement("Employee");
xwriter.WriteStartElement("Person");
xwriter.WriteStartElement("Name");
xwriter.WriteString(textBox1.Text);
xwriter.WriteEndElement();
xwriter.WriteStartElement("Designation");
xwriter.WriteString(textBox2.Text);
xwriter.WriteEndElement();
xwriter.WriteStartElement("Employee ID");
xwriter.WriteString(textBox3.Text);
xwriter.WriteEndElement();
xwriter.WriteStartElement("Email");
xwriter.WriteString(textBox4.Text);
xwriter.WriteEndElement();
xwriter.WriteEndElement();
xwriter.WriteEndElement();
xwriter.Close();
The problem with this code is that only one record can be added. When i try to add the 2nd record, the previous record is overwritten.
Here is no need to convert xmlWriter class.
string xmlFile = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/Candidates.xml");
xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
xmldoc.Load(xmlFile);
root = xmldoc.DocumentElement;
try
{
XmlNode CandidateNode = xmldoc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "Candidate", "");
XmlNode id = xmldoc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "CandidateId", "");
id.InnerText = "1";
CandidateNode.AppendChild(id);
XmlNode subPositionId = xmldoc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "SubPositionId", "");
subPositionId.InnerText = candidate.PositionId.ToString();
CandidateNode.AppendChild(subPositionId);
XmlNode firstName = xmldoc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "FirstName", "");
firstName.InnerText = candidate.FirstName;
XmlNode lastName = xmldoc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "LastName", "");
lastName.InnerText = candidate.LastName;
CandidateNode.AppendChild(firstName);
CandidateNode.AppendChild(lastName);
root.AppendChild(CandidateNode);
xmldoc.Save(xmlFile);
This will help you.
