Question

I keep getting errors with this, and can’t see what I’m doing wrong.

Here’s the code

private void _FixSave_Offline_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    System.Xml.XmlDocument NewGame = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
    NewGame.Load(Application.StartupPath + "//Files//Checks_Offline.xml");

    foreach (System.Xml.XmlNode nameNode in NewGame.SelectNodes("//Games//NewGame"))
    {
        listView1.Items.Add(nameNode.Attributes["Name"].InnerText);
    }
}

And here is the XML Layout

<Games>
 <NewGame>
   <Name></Name>
   <Check></Check>
   <Static></Static>
   <Location></Location>
   <Start></Start>
   <Length></Length>
   <FoundBy></FoundBy>
   <Verified></Verified>
</NewGame>

Here’s is the error I keep getting

and visual studio highlights the following code:

listView1.Items.Add(nameNode.Attributes["Name"].InnerText);

I’ve tried using not only “//” but also “/” so anything that will fix this will be more than welcome, b/c I can’t for the life of me see what I’m doing wrong.

Answer 1

At a glance, you’re looking for an attribute with the name of “Name”, but there are no attributes on any of the XML elements in your example.

I believe you want the content of the Name node:

foreach (System.Xml.XmlNode nameNode in NewGame.SelectNodes("//Games//NewGame/Name"))
{
    listView1.Items.Add(nameNode.Value);
}

You might have to play with the XPath expression a bit, depending on the actual structure of your XML document.
