Hi all!

I have a function that reads a nodes 'InnerText'. But when the node has
childs 'InnerText' includes that childs text to. Is there a way to select
the value from the node but not from the child?

my xml document structure looks like this:

<Root>
<Depth1>
<Depth2 with attributes>
<Depth3>
<Depth4></Depth4>
<Depth4></Depth4>
<Depth5></Depth5>
<Depth4></Depth4>
</Depth3>
<Depth3>
<Depth4></Depth4>
<Depth4></Depth4>
<Depth4>
<Depth5></Depth5>
</Depth4>
</Depth3>
</Depth2>
<Depth2 with attributes>
<Depth3>
<Depth4></Depth4>
<Depth4></Depth4>
<Depth5></Depth5>
<Depth4></Depth4>
</Depth3>
<Depth3>
<Depth4></Depth4>
<Depth4></Depth4>
<Depth5></Depth5>
<Depth4></Depth4>
</Depth3>
</Depth2>
<Depth1>
</Root>

For each "depth" I have to read its value/text and calculate those values.

Is the question to week, or do?s anyone have any ideas?

You can easily iterate over the ChildNodes and assemble the direct
content of child text nodes:

public static string GetChildText (XmlNode node) {
string text = "";
foreach (XmlNode child in node.ChildNodes) {
if (child.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Text) {
text += child.Value;
}
}
return text;
}

Then use it e.g.

XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
xmlDocument.Load(@"test2004092801.xml");
XmlNodeList nodeList = xmlDocument.GetElementsByTagName("*");
foreach (XmlNode node in nodeList) {
Console.WriteLine("Text is:\r\n{0}\r\n------------\r\n",
GetChildText(node));
}
