.NET Forum / .NET Framework / XML / July 2006suggested ways to manipulate XML files in .Net?
Hi everyone, I'm going to manipulate some XML files in my next project-- crawl through the tags, compare if file X has the same nodes as file Y, and if not, what the differences are and who's missing what. I'll also be comparing values between nodes in the two files, for when both documents do have the same named nodes. What .Net classes should I be looking at to accomplish these tasks? Thanks a bunch. > I'm going to manipulate some XML files in my next project-- crawl through > the tags, compare if file X has the same nodes as file Y, and if not, what > the differences are and who's missing what.

Well there are lots of ways, Xml(Text)Reader is fast forward only pull parsing that does not consume much resources even if you read through big files. XPathDocument reads the complete document into a tree structure optimized for XPath navigation which is read only. Then there is XmlDocument which also reads the complete document into a tree structure but then allows manipulation of the tree and saving back. If you want to compare XML files then the XML Diff and Patch tool <http://msdn.microsoft.com/XML/XMLDownloads/default.aspx> might be interesting for you.
