Question

I have xml like this:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Body>
  <supplyCrew xmlns="http://site.ddf.com">
     <login>
        <login>XXXX</login>
        <password>XXXX</password>
     </login>
     <flightInformation>
        <flights>
           <item>
              <arrivalDateTime>2010-11-08T22:48:00.000Z</arrivalDateTime>
              <arrivingCity>ORD</arrivingCity>
              <crewMembers>
                 <item>
                    <employeeId>020040</employeeId>
                    <isDepositor>Y</isDepositor>
                    <isTransmitter>N</isTransmitter>
                 </item>
                 <item>
                    <employeeId>09000</employeeId>
                    <isDepositor>N</isDepositor>
                    <isTransmitter>Y</isTransmitter>
                 </item>
              </crewMembers>
           </item>
           <item>
              <arrivalDateTime>2010-11-08T20:29:00.000Z</arrivalDateTime>
              <arrivingCity>JFK</arrivingCity>
              <crewMembers>
                 <item>
                    <employeeId>0538</employeeId>
                    <isDepositor>Y</isDepositor>
                    <isTransmitter>N</isTransmitter>
                 </item>
                 <item>
                    <employeeId>097790</employeeId>
                    <isDepositor>N</isDepositor>
                    <isTransmitter>Y</isTransmitter>
                 </item>
              </crewMembers>
           </item>
        </flights>
     </flightInformation>
  </supplyCrew>

This code gets only the first item ” and ” and then generate a exception ‘System.NullReferenceException’.

using System.IO;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{

class Program
{ 

  static void Main(string[] args)
    {


        XElement doc = XElement.Load("U:/Crew.xml");
        XNamespace e = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
        XNamespace s = "http://site.ddf.com";

                   var flights = doc.Elements(e + "Body")
        .Elements(s + "supplyCrew")
        .Elements(s + "flightInformation")
        .Elements(s + "flights")
        .Elements(s + "item")
        .Select(
        flight_item => new
        {
            //Anonymous Type
            arrivalDateTime = flight_item.Element(s + "arrivalDateTime").Value,
            arrivingCity = flight_item.Element(s + "arrivingCity").Value,
            crewmember = flight_item.Elements(s + "crewMembers").Elements(s + "item"),

        }
        );


        int index = 1;
        foreach (var flight_item in flights)
        {

            Console.Write('\n'+"New flight item:"+'\n');
            Console.Write('\t'+flight_item.arrivalDateTime + '\n');
            Console.Write('\t'+flight_item.arrivingCity + '\n');

            foreach (var item in flight_item.crewmember)
            {
                var employeeId = item;//crewmember.Elements(s + "item").Elements("employeeId");
                Console.Write("\t  "+employeeId);
                Console.Write('\n');
                //index++;
            }

        }

The idea is to get item.arrivalDateTime and item.arrivingCity and its crewMembers.item.employeeId for all the rows. However I do not know how to get the childnodes using linq…us occrring a exception if when try employeeId = x.Element(s + “employeeId”).Value….

Result should be something like this:

2010-11-08T22:48:00.000Z; ORD; 020040

2010-11-08T22:48:00.000Z; ORD; 09000

2010-11-08T20:29:00.000Z; JFK; 0538

2010-11-08T20:29:00.000Z; JFK; 097790

SOLVED

we just need to replace that foreach for :

        foreach (var flight_item in l_flights)
        {

            Console.Write('\n'+"New flight item:"+'\n');
            Console.Write('\t'+flight_item.arrivalDateTime + '\n');
            Console.Write('\t'+flight_item.arrivingCity + '\n');

            foreach (var item in flight_item.crewmember)
            {
                var employeeId = item.Element(s + "employeeId").Value;
                var isDepositor = item.Element(s + "isDepositor").Value;
                var isTransmitter = item.Element(s + "isTransmitter").Value;

                Console.Write("\t  " + employeeId + "\n");
                Console.Write("\t  " + isDepositor + "\n");
                Console.Write("\t  " + isTransmitter + "\n");

            }

        }

Thank you guys….
