I am using AWS in my webapplication. I got the WS response.

Xml response :

 <ItemSearchRespone xmlns="http:/....">
  <Items>
   <Item>
  <ASIN>B003MC5N28</ASIN>
  <DetailPageURL>http://www.amazon.com/Giver-Newbery-Medal-Book-ebook/dp/B003MC5N28%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIETT7RP2RAFF4UUQ%26tag%3Dws%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB003MC5N28</DetailPageURL>

  **</ItemAttributes>**
  </Item>
  <Item>  another item list2</Item>
  <Item>  another item list<3.../Item>
 </Items>
  </ItemSearchResponse>

Here, I want to show all the title values and formatted price of all books in grid view.

I tried so far.,

        XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();
        xdoc.Load(response.GetResponseStream());
        XmlNamespaceManager ns = new XmlNamespaceManager(xdoc.NameTable);
        ns.AddNamespace("ms", "http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/2005-10-05");

        XmlNodeList xnl = xdoc.SelectNodes("//ms:Title", ns);
        XmlNodeList xnl1 = xdoc.SelectNodes("//ms:FormattedPrice", ns);



        DataTable dt=new DataTable();
        dt.Columns.Add("Title",typeof(string));
        dt.Columns.Add("Price", typeof(string));

        foreach (XmlNode Title in xnl)
        {
            DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
            dr["Title"] = Title.InnerText;

            dt.Rows.Add(dr);
        }
        GridView1.DataSource = dt;
        GridView1.DataBind();

How to show Price and Title value in grid view ? ( The Respone having a lot nodes like title , Price, isbn and goes on.Please let me know, if you need more information.

Thanks.

Answer 1

LINQ to XML that parse the XML doc.

XNamespace ns = "http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/2005-10-05";
XDocument doc=XDocument.Load(response.GetResponseStream());

var result= doc.Descendants(ns + "ItemAttributes").Select( p=> new 
 {
 Title=p.Element(ns+ "Title").Value,
 Price = p.Element(ns +"ListPrice").Element(ns+"FormattedPrice").Value
}).ToList();
GridView1.DataSource = result;
GridView1.DataBind();

Or change XPath expression,

 XmlNodeList xnl = xdoc.SelectNodes("/ms:ItemSearchRespone/ms:Items/ms:Item/ms:ItemAttributes", ns);

  foreach (XmlNode ele in xnl)
   {
     Console.WriteLine(ele.SelectSingleNode("ms:Title", ns).InnerText);
     Console.WriteLine(ele.SelectSingleNode("ms:ListPrice/ms:FormattedPrice", ns).InnerText);
   }
