Question

I have parsed the PNAgent.dtd file from the Citrix Web Interface with the XML Databinding Wizard in Delphi 2010, this is the resulting unit.

Then I try to read the following XML with it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE PNAgent_Configuration SYSTEM "PNAgent.dtd"[]>
<PNAgent_Configuration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance">

            <Enabled>true</Enabled>

Why is PNAgent.Request.Enumeration.Location.ReplaceServerLocation an empty string instead of ‘http://2003xa/Citrix/PNAgent/enum.aspx’ as I expect?

procedure TForm1.Button3Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  XML: IXMLDocument;
  PNAgent: IXMLPNAgent_ConfigurationType;
begin
  XML := TXMlDocument.Create(nil);
  XML.LoadFromFile('config.xml');
  PNAgent := NewPNAgent_Configuration;
  PNAgent.Text := XML.XML.Text;
  Memo1.Lines.Add(Format('Server Location: %s', [PNAgent.Request.Enumeration.Location.ReplaceServerLocation]));

When I check the value of PNAgent.Request.XML it shows this (values seem to be missing):

'<Request><Enumeration><Location replaceServerLocation=""/></Enumeration></Request>'

Answer 1

I wanted to test TLama’s Answer when I noticed that besides LoadXMLDocument there is also a LoadPNAgent_Configuration in the generated unit. When I try that it works perfectly!

procedure TForm1.Button3Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  XML: IXMLDocument;
  PNAgent: IXMLPNAgent_ConfigurationType;
begin
  PNAgent := LoadPNAgent_Configuration('config.xml');
  Memo1.Lines.Add(Format('Server Location: %s', [PNAgent.Request.Enumeration.Location.NodeValue]));
end;

The implementation is:

function LoadPNAgent_Configuration(const FileName: string): IXMLPNAgent_ConfigurationType;
begin
  Result := LoadXMLDocument(FileName).GetDocBinding('PNAgent_Configuration', TXMLPNAgent_ConfigurationType, TargetNamespace) as IXMLPNAgent_ConfigurationType;
end;
