Converting graphml to image

I have this script that creates a .graphml file, and it looks great in yEd (Link to software), but I'm trying to automate the extra step of having this file, opening it in a different program, doing some edits in there etc etc.
I was wondering if there was some way to automate this into a png image, preferably a hexagonal grid or Vornoi in C#, depending on whether or not each node is connected to exactly 6 or not.
The .graphml file structure looks as follows:
<graphml xmlns="http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/xmlns" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/xmlns http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/xmlns/1.0/graphml.xsd">
<key id="d2" for="node" attr.name="value" attr.type="long" />
<key id="d1" for="node" attr.name="y" attr.type="long" />
<key id="d0" for="node" attr.name="x" attr.type="long" />
<graph edgedefault="directed">
<node id="(0, 1)">
<data key="d0">0</data>
<data key="d1">1</data>
<data key="d2">0</data>
</node>
.
.
.
<node id="(39, 38)">
<data key="d0">39</data>
<data key="d1">38</data>
<data key="d2">4</data>
</node>
<edge source="(0, 1)" target="(1, 1)"></edge>
<edge source="(0, 1)" target="(0, 2)"></edge>
.
.
.
<edge source="(39, 38)" target="(38, 39)"></edge>
</graph>
</graphml>
The value is a direct one-to-one mapping of the node's colour.
And the coordinates are in the following pattern if it were a regular hexagonal grid:
Hope this query makes sense!
Kind regards.

Using LINQ how would I check if a XML row contains a field and if it does check a different field on the same row for a value

I have a scenario where an application is spitting out some XML to me and I don't have any control of what it's structure is I have posted it below.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<DATASET xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes">
<ROW>
<OccNumber >test</OccNumber>
<OccId >Test2</OccId>
<OccTime >2017/01/26 09:38</OccTime>
<OccSummary >Test worked</OccSummary>
<DATASET>
<ROW>
<PID>123456</PID>
<CID >12345678</CID>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<PID>569867</PID>
<CID>37576334</CID>
</ROW>
<DATASET>
<ROW>
<ReportId >4345454</ReportId>
<ReportTime >2018/02/15 12:55</ReportTime>
<NumberType4 />
<accepted >Yes</accepted>
<cond1>No </Cond1>
</ROW>
</DATASET>
</ROW>
</DATASET>
So what I need to do is basically count any time I find a tag and with in the same row the tag has a value of "Yes". I would like to do this with LINQ if possible.
EDIT:
To be a bit more clear. I am assuming that because the Dataset and Row tag's repeat and don't have a unique name I can't identify a specific one to check for my count. What I do know is that the ACCEPTED and COND1 tags are unique to the data-set and row I am interested in counting. I also need to check the values in both fields as it's a combination of what I find that tells me if I should count the row or not.

Your XML isn't valid (missing closing tag on one of the DATASET elements, different case in the cond1 element). Below is some corrected XML with additional nodes that can be used for testing and some code beneath it showing how you can select the nodes you're interested in.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<DATASET xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes">
<ROW>
<OccNumber >test</OccNumber>
<OccId >Test2</OccId>
<OccTime >2017/01/26 09:38</OccTime>
<OccSummary >Test worked</OccSummary>
<DATASET>
<ROW>
<ReportId >4345454</ReportId>
<ReportTime >2018/02/15 12:55</ReportTime>
<NumberType4 />
<cond1>No</cond1>
</ROW>
</DATASET>
<DATASET>
<ROW>
<ReportId >4345454</ReportId>
<ReportTime >2018/02/15 12:55</ReportTime>
<NumberType4 />
<accepted>Yes</accepted>
<cond1>No</cond1>
</ROW>
</DATASET>
<DATASET>
<ROW>
<PID>123456</PID>
<CID >12345678</CID>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<PID>569867</PID>
<CID>37576334</CID>
</ROW>
</DATASET>
<DATASET>
<ROW>
<ReportId >4345454</ReportId>
<ReportTime >2018/02/15 12:55</ReportTime>
<NumberType4 />
<accepted>Yes</accepted>
<cond1>No</cond1>
</ROW>
</DATASET>
</ROW>
</DATASET>
Code:
var xdoc = new XmlDocument();
xdoc.LoadXml("YOUR XML STRING HERE");
var nodes = xdoc.SelectNodes("//DATASET/ROW[accepted='Yes' and cond1='No']");

ETW Channel Providers - Channel Names

I am using latest EventSource Nuget-Package for creating eventlogs where every application gets its own folder for different types of logs.
As playing around I figured out that I can't simply change the logs name.
I tried to change it in the manifest file and registered the new channel where it displayed its new name. Unfortunately every event fired to these logs won't show up anymore till I register a new channel with predefined channel name.
Any chance to change that? Since I have to create manifest files on each machine i have to change it programatically because channel names were created by predefined values (Admin, Operational, etc...)
To be clear: I want to change following names AND have all logs written into these channels.

How do Extract information from a very generic xml document?

My xml document is as follows (but much larger and not anything to do with date of birth info). It is produced by a method and I want to access information from it.
I would like to look up a "Name" like John or Hannah and get DOB from the next line and perhaps put them into a Dictionary<string,string> for later look-up.
The document is ALWAYS in this form and Names are unique. I only need the first section name = "DOBs".
<info>
<section name="DOBs">
<table>
<headers>
<cell value="Name" />
<cell value="DOB" />
</headers>
<row>
<cell value="John" />
<cell value="121245" />
</row>
<row>
<cell value="Hannah" />
<cell value="050595" />
</row>
</table>
</section>
<section name="notDOBs">
<table>
<headers>
<cell value="Name" />
<cell value="other info" />
</headers>
<row>
<cell value="Hannah" />
<cell value="blue" />
</row>
....
</table>
</section>
</info>
What have I tried? - to be honest, not a lot as I'm confused about xml in general. I've looked at a few SO entries: Xml Reader,This one and How to use XMLreader to read this xml. I also looked at csharp-examples.net which looked good but I kept getting errors about "not leading to node set".
I got excited when I found this: get xml attribut values but no joy, it doesn't seem to find them only the ones.
var myXml = XElement.Load(_myPath).Elements();
var myArray = myXml.Elements("cell").Attributes("value").Select(n => n.Value);
I know I have a LOT more work to do but sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and ask ... Can anyone help?

var list = XDocument.Load("C:\\test.xml")
.Descendants("section")
.Where(e => e.Attribute("name").Value.Equals("DOBs"))
.Descendants("row")
.Descendants("cell")
.Attributes("value").ToList();
var dic = Enumerable.Range(0, list.Count/2)
.ToDictionary(i => list[2*i], i => list[2*i + 1]);

Sort XML nodes alphabetically on attribute name
Check the above sample
in navigator try to use
.MoveFirstChild() method
.MoveNext() method
.MoveToFirstAttribute() method
.MoveToNextAttribute() method
.Name property
.Value property
do not forget to check if the current one is null or not

Xslt 1.0 XML to excel transformation issue

I'm using the .Net framework's XslCompiledTransform class as the XSLT processor (in other words Xslt 1.0).
My requirement is that I want to convert an XML file to an Excel file (xls file) using XSLT 1.0 and .Net [4.0].
For simplicity and since this is just test code, I'm just considering some simple hard-coding on my Xsl file.
Specifically, my two questions are:
I've tried a bunch of things, yet I can't see my Excel sheet's worksheet named to "wAbc" which is what I'm trying to name it. I see the worksheet name as my file name. Additional worksheets are not generated as well. Below is my XSL file
Additionally, since this is test code, I can't see the data outputted on different rows unless I use HTML tags . What I see is: AbcNext line instead of
Abc
Nextline
So what am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance for your time and help.
I set the content type for my file response as
application/vnd.ms-excel
Here is my test Xsl file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:processing-instruction name="mso-application">progid='Excel.Sheet'</xsl:processing-instruction>
<Workbook>
<Worksheet ss:Name="wAbc">
<Table ss:ExpandedColumnCount="2" x:FullColumns="1" x:FullRows="1" ss:DefaultRowHeight="15">
<Column ss:AutoFitWidth="20" ss:AutoWidth="65"></Column>
<Row>
<Cell>
<Data ss:Type="String">Abc</Data>
</Cell>
</Row>
<Row>
<Cell>
<Data ss:Type="String">Next line</Data>
</Cell>
</Row>
</Table>
<WorksheetOptions xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel">
<PageSetup>
<Header x:Margin="0.3"/>
<Footer x:Margin="0.3"/>
<PageMargins x:Bottom="0.75" x:Left="0.7" x:Right="0.7" x:Top="0.75"/>
</PageSetup>
</WorksheetOptions>
</Worksheet>
</Workbook>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

You are using Excel XML as the format here (so, not strictly an XLS file, which is binary).
But in any case, I can see two issues with the Excel XML you are currently outputting. Firstly, I think the ss:AutoFitWidth attribute on the Column element needs to be set to 1 (or 0). I don't think 20 is a valid value.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa140066(v=office.10).aspx for the list of possible values.
Addtionally, I think you may (although I am not 100% sure on this) need to set the ss:ExpandedRowCount on the Table element as well as the ss:ExpandedColumnCount.
See if changing one or both of these fixes your errors.

Excel XLS files use a Microsoft proprietary binary format - no way to generate that with an XSLT.
The (relatively) new XSLX format is a set of XML files that are ZIPped together, so in principle you can generate these files with an XSLT, and then ZIP them to generate the final file - still not very easy. To see these files simply un-ZIP an XSLX file.
I suggest you generate a simpler format - either a CSV or an intermediate XML- and then import it into Excel.
