I know that I keep asking questions here rather than at a site made to answer such questions, but you all are a lot nicer at explaining things than they are.

My question:
I plan to use xml files to store game data for a game I am currently working on to cut down on the SQL calls I have to make. My problem is that I can't seem to find a Tutorial that explains how to deal with a lot of nodes.

So, how would I read something like this:
XML: 
<div class="xml" id="{CB}" style="font-family: monospace;"><ol> 

<span style="color: #009900;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: black;"><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" <span style="font-weight: bold; color: black;">?>

And as an afterthought, if they are in a folder called Data and I set them to Compile, how would I access them. I've never really understood how you use embedded stuff...

OK, so what you need is an XML parser. Using the XML namespace. It's really easy.

Go to CSharp Corner. This page will show you the most basic way, but there is a bit more to it.

Search that site. That is where I learned to make my XML Parser, which I used for Add Ons in one of my apps.

Don't know about the second question. I would search that site for that answer as well.

Good luck.

My only real issue is with getting it to go from one Mech tag to the next. I can't seem to get it to go though all of them...

Oh, and I found the answer to my afterthought while looking for the answer to my main question.

Code: 
 

XmlDocument xmlDoc= new XmlDocument(); //* create an xml document object.

xmlDoc.Load("yourXMLFile.xml"); //* load the XML document from the specified file.

 

//* Get elements.

XmlNodeList girlAddress = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("gAddress");

XmlNodeList girlAge = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("gAge"); 

XmlNodeList girlCellPhoneNumber = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("gPhone");

 

//* Display the results.

Console.WriteLine("Address: " + girlAddress[0].InnerText);

Console.WriteLine("Age: " + girlAge[0].InnerText);

Console.WriteLine("Phone Number: " + girlCellPhoneNumber[0].InnerText);

That seems pretty straight forward. Store all the nodes in lists and read them like you would from an Array or List<T>. That one has some other good tips too.

I seemed to have missed the fact that they use NodeList. As it is a Array Form, you can go though it... Thank you. Although, my main issue was with the fact that every example I found to do it used 15+ lines of code with things like NextNode, or SecondChild... Unless they are explained, I never have a clue how to use them and expand them.


.::EDIT::.

Seems that I made .NET mad somehow.

And here is the Block It doesn't seem to like:
Code: 
 

 

                Mech[] mList = new Mech[name.Count];

                while (x < name.Count)

                {

 

           [color=#FF0000] ----->[/color] mList[x] = new Mech(name[x].Value.ToString(), Convert.ToInt32(type[x].Value), Convert.ToInt32(id[x].Value), icon[x].Value.ToString(), Convert.ToInt32(weapon1[x].Value), Convert.ToInt32(weapon2[x].Value), Convert.ToInt32(weapon3[x].Value), 

                    Convert.ToInt32(weapon4[x].Value), Convert.ToInt32(ammo1[x].Value), Convert.ToInt32(ammo2[x].Value), Convert.ToInt32(ammo3[x].Value), Convert.ToInt32(ammo4[x].Value), Convert.ToInt32(head[x].Value), Convert.ToInt32(cTorso[x].Value), Convert.ToInt32(rTorso[x].Value), Convert.ToInt32(lTorso[x].Value),

                        Convert.ToInt32(rArm[x].Value), Convert.ToInt32(lArm[x].Value), Convert.ToInt32(rLeg[x].Value), Convert.ToInt32(lLeg[x].Value), Convert.ToInt32(walk[x].Value), Convert.ToInt32(run[x].Value), Convert.ToInt32(jump[x].Value));

                    x++;

                    

                }

                return mList;

 

 

Not quite sure what I did to piss it off...

It is obviously not the mList object, which is initialized at the top there. However, you have several other objects in that one line that could not be initialized. Check each one and make sure that they have been created correctly. You might have missed one or two.

....!

Did you set x to anything? It looks like you just threw it out there without defining it before hand. Perhaps you should just use a FOR loop, so that this doesn't occur:

for (int x = 0; x < name.Length; x++)

            catch (Exception ex)

            {

                MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());

                Mech[] mList = new Mech[1];

                mList[0] = new Mech();

                return mList;

            }

            

        }

    }

 

Same Result. It doesn't seem to like the mList = new Mech(); itself. Is there anything extra I need to do to the Mech struct to use it as an array of itself?

.::Edit::.
I should have figured it out sooner. INNERTEXT!!! Works so far now.

Oh, haha. I didn't even notice.

If you need any more C# help, lemme know.

Good luck.

Hey,

Not really sure that its applicable as you seem to have solved things, but you can acctually do this a few other ways that may seem a bit daunting at first but would make things 10x easier for you to extend your DB caching via XML files...

If you are interested in taking a harder but better route, look at XMLSerialization and XMLContractSerializer (i think its called) there is a JSON version too... you basically make your class and then call a data contract serializer object and pass it an instance of your object and it pops out a serialized XML string... you can use custom attributes to customize the way it exports/imports your objects/xml.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... lizer.aspx

I think the above should give you a taster of it... WCF uses it under the hood to serialize objects between server and client. I use this method (although its the JSON version) for serializing all my objects between my backend and frontend...

The other method is pretty much the same as your method but using the newer XDocument/XElement classes, which are alot nicer (i find) than using the normal XmlReader classes...
