Question

I’ve been working on this problem for a few hours now and I have searched all around with no luck for a solution 🙁

What I am trying to do is print out names of the nodes, what i have is the amount of nodes that exist so I know how many times to loop but am having the hardest of times retrieving the values

What I have tried:

int num = Convert.ToInt32(queuecount);
var jobs = QueueXML.SelectSingleNode(xpathjobsfilename).InnerText;
PreviousQueue = jobs.ToString();

//foreach(loop < num)
//{
//    if (CurrentQueue == PreviousQueue)
//    {

//    }
//    else
//    {
//        resultsListView.Items.Clear();
//        resultsListView.Items.Add(jobs[num]);
//    }
//    loop++;
//}

foreach (char JobName in jobs.ToString())
{
    if (CurrentQueue == PreviousQueue)
    {
    }
    else
    {
        resultsListView.Items.Clear();
        resultsListView.Items.Add(jobs[num]);
    }
}  

Edit: Example XML

 <jobs>
    <job>
      <timeleft>0:00:00</timeleft>
      <mb>1419.60536003</mb>
      <msgid></msgid>
      <filename>Extended_Final</filename>
      <mbleft>1274.33209419</mbleft>
      <id>nzo_i7qxxq</id>
    </job>
    <job>
      <timeleft>0:00:00</timeleft>
      <mb>9.22459220886</mb>
      <msgid></msgid>
      <filename>Video2</filename>
      <mbleft>9.22459220886</mbleft>
      <id>2m3dv5</id>
    </job>
  </jobs>

I want to retrieve the job details for each individual jobs

Answer 1

Use LINQ2XML

XElement doc=XElement.Load("yourXMLfile.xml");

string timeleft,mb,msgid,filename,mbleft,id;

foreach(XElement elm in doc.Descendants().Elements("job"))
{
    timeleft = elm.Element("timeleft").Value; //time left value
    mb = elm.Element("mb").Value; //mb value
    msgid = elm.Element("msgid").Value; //msgid value
    filename = elm.Element("filename").Value; //filename value
    mbleft = elm.Element("mbleft").Value; //mbleft value
    id = elm.Element("id").Value; //id value
}
