Question

Why is this loop only running once?
noteDatabaseItem just takes a node and fills in the data. the xml has 3 notes in it.

XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<noteCollection>
  <note name="Test Note 1">This is test note 1 content!</note>
  <note name="Test Note 2">This is test note 2 content!</note>
  <note name="Test Note 3">This is test note 3 content!</note>
</noteCollection>

C++:

std::vector<notekeeper::noteDatabaseItem> noteList;
TiXmlElement* noteCollection = xmlDoc->FirstChildElement("noteCollection");
TiXmlElement* node = noteCollection->FirstChildElement("note");
int itemCount = 0;

while (node != NULL) {
    itemCount++;
    noteList.resize(itemCount);
    noteList.push_back(noteDatabaseItem(node));
    node = noteCollection->NextSiblingElement("note");
}

Answer 1

Shouldn’t it be node = node->NextSiblingElement("note")?

noteCollection has only children, not siblings, right?
