C# XML getting multible lines in xml document but only keys looked for.

Question

ok been working with a big xml file and what im trying to do is parse this xml file and get say,

track id , arti , tite and fnae

and return each item in the xml document that has those values

have tryied following code,

            XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
            doc.Load(@"C:\Users\elfen\AppData\Local\elfenliedtopfan5-storeddbs\Database\Database.xml");

            XmlNodeList nodes = doc.SelectNodes("/database/tracks/track");
            foreach (XmlNode node in nodes)
            {
                //string trackID = node.Attributes[0].InnerXml;
                //string Artist = node.Attributes[1].InnerXml; // this works for part of them but each song is diffent and not able to return the fnae as in certin areas it does not fall under the 3rd attribute
                //string Title = node.Attributes[2].InnerXml;

                string testme = node["fnam"].InnerText;

            }

any help would be much appreciated as not quite sure how to do this run through quite a few xml parse methods i know but unable to get the desired result.

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

The current method is not the correct way to get attributes.

You can get the attributes like this:

  string testme = node.Attributes["fnam"].Value;
