Question

I currently have this method in a standard web service:

[WebMethod]
        public void addGame(int GamePlayID, int @ParticipantID, int @GameVersionID, string Start, string End,string success)
        {
            SqlConnection oConn = new SqlConnection();
            oConn.ConnectionString = @"Data Source=SNICKERS\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=VerveDatabase;Integrated Security=True";
            oConn.Open();
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
            cmd.Connection = oConn;
            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
            cmd.CommandText = "addGamePlay";
            cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@GamePlayID", SqlDbType.Int));
            cmd.Parameters["@GamePlayID"].Value = GamePlayID;
            cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@ParticipantID", SqlDbType.Int));
            cmd.Parameters["@ParticipantID"].Value = @ParticipantID;
            cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@GameVersionID", SqlDbType.Int));
            cmd.Parameters["@GameVersionID"].Value = @GameVersionID;
            cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Start", SqlDbType.Time));
            cmd.Parameters["@Start"].Value = Start;
            cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@End", SqlDbType.Time));
            cmd.Parameters["@End"].Value = End;
            cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@success", SqlDbType.VarChar, 10));
            cmd.Parameters["@success"].Value = success;
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        }

This allows me to pass values accross to the database which are entered manually.However I want to be able to load the data from an XML document. How do I get data from this XML document to fill the variables in this method. Here is the XML document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<anyType xmlns="http://tempuri.org/" xmlns:d1p1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" d1p1:type="q1:string" xmlns:q1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<NewDataSet>
<Game> 
<GamePlayID>1</GamePlayID>
            <ParticipantID>1</ParticipantID> 
<GameVersionID>1</GameVersionID> 
<Start-Time>PT0S</Start-Time> 
<End-Time>PT5H</End-Time> 
<Success>true </Success> 
</Game>
</NewDataSet>
</anyType>

I don’t quite understand why I got down voted as this was a genuine question however I thought I would outline how I managed to over come the problem. As my paticular XML document only contains one node I used the “selectSingleNode” function on xmlDocument to pick the data I wanted and assigned them to variables ready to insert into my database via SQL proc.

[WebMethod]
        public void addGame()
        {
            XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument();
            xd.Load(@"C:\Users\bradleya\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Web Services\Web Services\addGame.xml");
            XmlNode documentNode = xd.SelectSingleNode("/NewDataSet/Game");

            int GamePlayID = Convert.ToInt32(documentNode.SelectSingleNode("GamePlayID").InnerText);
            int ParticipantID = Convert.ToInt32(documentNode.SelectSingleNode("ParticipantID").InnerText);
            int GameVersionID = Convert.ToInt32(documentNode.SelectSingleNode("ParticipantID").InnerText);
            string Start = Convert.ToString(documentNode.SelectSingleNode("Start-Time").InnerText);
            string End = Convert.ToString(documentNode.SelectSingleNode("End-Time").InnerText);
            string success = Convert.ToString(documentNode.SelectSingleNode("Success").InnerText);

            SqlConnection oConn = new SqlConnection();
            oConn.ConnectionString = @"Data Source=SNICKERS\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=VerveDatabase;Integrated Security=True";
            oConn.Open();
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
            cmd.Connection = oConn;
            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
            cmd.CommandText = "addGamePlay";
            cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@GamePlayID", SqlDbType.Int));
            cmd.Parameters["@GamePlayID"].Value = GamePlayID;
            cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@ParticipantID", SqlDbType.Int));
            cmd.Parameters["@ParticipantID"].Value = @ParticipantID;
            cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@GameVersionID", SqlDbType.Int));
            cmd.Parameters["@GameVersionID"].Value = @GameVersionID;
            cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Start", SqlDbType.Time));
            cmd.Parameters["@Start"].Value = Start;
            cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@End", SqlDbType.Time));
            cmd.Parameters["@End"].Value = End;
            cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@success", SqlDbType.VarChar, 10));
            cmd.Parameters["@success"].Value = success;
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        }
