I have a fairly messy XML structure that I need to process and display to the end user. The XML structure holds information about Bars of metal and the Cuts to be made for each bar. The goal is to process this file, display to the user a list of the bars grouped by bar type. They can select a bar from this list where a gridview of some sort will display the cuts for that bar. They can then select a cut and the label information for that cut will be used to create a label with a barcode and some other information.
The structure of the XML can be seen below:
<BODY>
<BAR>
<BRAN>ALSPEC</BRAN>
<SYST>Hunter 100mm Flush Glazed</SYST>
<CODE>AS308</CODE>

<LBL>D8/T24</LBL>
<LBL>Jamb - Left</LBL>
</CUT>
</BAR>
</BODY>
The result I am looking for is something like below i.e a tree view on the left and a datagridview on the right displaying all the cuts in the job, filtered by the tree view selection (only cuts from the selected tree view level down).
GUI Layout
To achieve this I am trying to use LINQ to XML to parse the XML file into a class i have created:
public List<Bars> bars = new List<Bars>();
public class Bars
{
public int Bar_id { set; get; }
public string Brand { set; get; }
public string System { set; get; }
public string Code { set; get; }
public string Description { set; get; }
public string Length { set; get; }
public string Status { set; get; }
public string NumBars { set; get; }
public List<Cuts> Cuts { set; get; }
}
public class Cuts
{
public int Cut_id { set; get; }
public int Bar_id { set; get; }
public string AngleL { set; get; }
public string AngleR { set; get; }
public string LenInn { set; get; }
public string LenOut { set; get; }
public string Barcode { set; get; }
public string Description { set; get; }
public string Status { set; get; }
public string Label1 { set; get; }
public string Label2 { set; get; }
public string Label3 { set; get; }
public string Label4 { set; get; }
}
I'm actually looking for some advise on weather or not this is the correct way to handle this kind of project (LINQ to XML). Should I be using data sets or some other form or data storage.
I am new to XML and also to relational database type stuff so any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Will
Given a choice, Iwould thoroughly recommend using XDocument(LINQ to XML). It's much simpler to create documents and process them. Personally, my preferred choice in dealing large Xml.
var result = doc.Descendants("BAR")
.Select((e, i)=> new Bars()
{
Bar_id = i +1,
Brand = e.Element("BRAN").Value,
System = e.Element("SYST").Value,
Code = e.Element("CODE").Value,
Description = e.Element("DESC").Value,
Length =e.Element("LEN").Value,
Status =e.Element("STS").Value,
// remaining fileds
Cuts = e.Descendants("CUT").Select(c=> new Cuts()
{
Cut_id = int.Parse(c.Element("NUM").Value),
Bar_id = i+1,
AngleL = c.Element("ANGL").Value,
AngleR = c.Element("ANGR").Value,
LenInn = c.Element("IL").Value,
LenOut = c.Element("OL").Value,
Barcode = c.Element("BCOD").Value,
Description = c.Element("DESC").Value,
Status = c.Element("STAT").Value,
Label1 = c.Elements("LBL").First().Value,
Label2 = c.Elements("LBL").Skip(1).First().Value,
Label3 = c.Elements("LBL").Skip(2).First().Value,
Label4 = c.Elements("LBL").Skip(3).First().Value,
}).ToList(),
}).ToList();
Working Demo
Since you wanted some suggestion here is an easy way of doing it. When it comes to this kind of situations, serialisation is the easiest option. VS has inbuilt functionality to code generate classes for this kind of xml structures.
You can use Edit > Paste Special feature for this purpose. So your classes will look like;

Then you can simply deserialise;
BODY objBody = new BODY();
var xml = File.ReadAllText(#"C:\XMLFile2.xml");
using (var reader = new StringReader(xml))
{
var serialiser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(BODY));
objBody = (BODY)serialiser.Deserialize(reader);
}

I have a list of a complex object with some list of objects. At the third level of the object, I have a property called ProductServiceKey. I need to get a new list of objects, in order to get those ProductServicesKeys grouped by if the dictionary called FeatureList contains the same values. Here are my object structures. I will only paste the relevant class info for this question:

}
And so, when I try to group by FeatureList, I use this line of code:
var groupedOrderList = orders.OrderListD.GroupBy(u => u.Services[0].FeatureList).Select(grp => grp.First()).ToList();
My problem is that the new list called groupedOrderList created by the GroupBy, in my debugging session, has two elements instead of one. In my debuggin, FeatureList values are similar.
I also tried using the values property from the dictionary, as shown:
var groupedOrderList = orders.OrderListD.GroupBy(u => u.Services[0].FeatureList.Values).Select(grp => grp.First()).ToList();
This is driving me crazy. Why I'm not getting it grouped properly??? I should only have one element in the list, because in the 2 elements in the original list (OrderListD), it's FeatureList dictionary has the same values!!
Any help?
Thank you!
new to ASP.net and have a question involving a model that has multiple variables of the same type.
I have Order model that can have 0 to n Detail models attached to it. When I POST the http request I get all the information for the Order except the Detail model always comes back as null. Or more specifically the ".count" method on the List is 0.
How can I get it to post all the Details for my Model?

Just in case anyone ever stumbles across this problem. What was giving me hours of headache took 3 clicks to solve... Thanks all for your replies.
I'm writing generic method in Android app, and I have a problem with missing properties.
My class has 7 public properties but when I'm trying to get all properties I'm getting list with one property.
Here is my code:
T item = (T)Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(T));
var properties = item.GetType().GetProperties();
Problem occurs in all classes.
I have the same code (also the same classes) in similar application for iOS and everything works fine.
Here is sample class:
public partial class DB_USER {
private int iD_USERField;
private int iD_ACTORField;

I´m trying to deserialize the following XML:

I´ve made a unit test, but it fails because all the elements are null (second assert and forth). The type attribute is deserialized just fine.
What could be possibly be wrong?
PS: I´ve tried to add the namespace "http://b2b.ibm.com/schema/B2B_CDM_Incident/R2_2" to the serializer with no success...
PS2: the serialization seems to be working just fine for this class
Thanks.
string result = #"<Activity type=""WOActivity"">
<ActionID>1</ActionID>
<ActionLog></ActionLog>
<ActionLogSummary>Add subcomponent</ActionLogSummary>
<UserID></UserID>
<FlexFields>
<FlexField mappedTo=""STATUS"" id=""0"">WAPPR</FlexField>
<FlexField mappedTo=""WOSEQUENCE"" id=""0"">10</FlexField>
<FlexField mappedTo=""OWNERGROUP"" id=""0"">V-PSB-DE-HLC-HWSUPPORT</FlexField>
</FlexFields>
</Activity>";
var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof (Activity), new XmlRootAttribute("Activity"));
var first = (Activity)serializer.Deserialize(new XmlTextReader(new StringReader(result)));
Assert.AreEqual("WOActivity", first.type);
Assert.AreEqual("Add subcomponent", first.ActionLogSummary);
Assert.IsNotNull(first.FlexFields);
Assert.AreEqual(4, first.FlexFields.Count());
Just put the root element into the correct namespace:
string xml = #"<Activity type=""WOActivity""
xmlns=""http://b2b.ibm.com/schema/IS_B2B_CDM/R2_2"">
...
</Activity>";
Note that because the namespace is inherited, everything else also uses that element.
This then works:
var ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Activity));
var activity = (Activity)ser.Deserialize(new StringReader(xml));
System.Console.WriteLine(activity.ActionID);
System.Console.WriteLine(activity.ActionLogSummary);
System.Console.WriteLine(activity.type);
with output:
1
Add subcomponent
WOActivity
In other scenarios, you may need to refer to multiple namespaces, or mention the same namespace multiple times. Then it becomes useful to declare an alias; the following is semantically identical to the first example in this answer:
string xml = #"<b2b:Activity type=""WOActivity""
xmlns:b2b=""http://b2b.ibm.com/schema/IS_B2B_CDM/R2_2"">
<b2b:ActionID>1</b2b:ActionID>
<b2b:ActionLog></b2b:ActionLog>
<b2b:ActionLogSummary>Add subcomponent</b2b:ActionLogSummary>
...
</b2b:Activity>";
With the only difference that we can now use b2b: as a prefix on any element as an alternative to saying xmlns=""http://b2b.ibm.com/schema/IS_B2B_CDM/R2_2"". Note also that alias-based namespaces are not inherited, unlike xmlns= namespaces.
just delete the two generated lines:
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(AnonymousType = true, Namespace = "http://b2b.ibm.com/schema/IS_B2B_CDM/R2_2")]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute(Namespace = "http://b2b.ibm.com/schema/IS_B2B_CDM/R2_2", IsNullable = false)]
I have used the xsd.exe program to create a class hierarchy for a xsd file. I am successfully able to deserialize a xml file and read values from it in C#. However when i register the library and am trying to read array values from VBScript it fails.
I get Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment error. I am however able to read the values of simple properties.

Here is my code which deserializes my xml to objects
namespace CustomUtilities
{
public class XmlSerializer
{
public AppEntryDefinition Deserialize(String xmlPath)
{
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer serializer = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(typeof(AppEntryDefinition));
AppEntryDefinition aed = null;
aed = (AppEntryDefinition)serializer.Deserialize(new System.IO.StreamReader(xmlPath));
return aed;
}
}
}
Here is my vbscript code
Dim obj, objAppEntry
Set obj = CreateObject("CustomUtilities.XmlSerializer")
Set objAppEntry = obj.Deserialize("C:\Users\xx\Desktop\schema\xx.xml")
Set xxx = objAppEntry.productDefinition.ruleSet
Yes, these arrays will not get through from NET to VBScript as they are not COM automation compatible.
What you can do, though, is create a partial class with the same name as the initial one, duplicate the array properties, give them another name, and declare them as a type that can be used in automation (and recompile the whole thing). You could create a custom type (it's necessary if yuo don't want to duplicate the values), but the easiest way to do it is to reuse the "old" ArrayList class. It's marked as COM visible and it can be used easily from a script language.
So here is a sample partial add-on:
public partial class ProductDefinition
{
[XmlIgnore]
public ArrayList ruleSetArrayList
{
get
{
return new ArrayList(ruleSet);
}
}
}
And the script that uses it:
Set xxx = objAppEntry.productDefinition.ruleSetArrayList
for each item in xxx
WScript.echo item.phase
next
