.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / January 2008Parsing XML file
I've got a Winforms app and I'm trying to parse an ASP.Net web.config file (xml) I need to search each of the connectionstrings in the connectionstrings section, to see if the name is there already then, I need to write out the new node, if it's not there already I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the child nodes, singly - here's what I've got so far Dim m_xmld = New System.Xml.XmlDocument m_xmld.PreserveWhitespace = True Dim m_nodelist As System.Xml.XmlNodeList Dim m_node As System.Xml.XmlNode m_xmld.Load(spath & "\web.config") m_nodelist = m_xmld.SelectNodes("//configuration/connectionStrings") For Each m_node In m_nodelist MessageBox.Show(m_node.InnerXml) ' this just gives me all of the nodes in one string - I've tried other properties, but I've been unsuccessful Next Two questions: What can I use to show me each node, separately in the nodelist? Then, how can I add a node in that section? The Configuration API would be of help here. The WebConfigurationManager Class from Namespace System.Web.Configuration Examples: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.configuration.webconfigurati onmanager.aspx AND http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/management/mgmtapi.aspx Regards JIGNESH > I've got a Winforms app and I'm trying to parse an ASP.Net web.config file > (xml) [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > What can I use to show me each node, separately in the nodelist? > Then, how can I add a node in that section? I tried the first link and I can't get it to work. It seems like the IDE doesn't recognize 'ConnectionStringsSection', and I can't find anything to replace it with - I've imported System.Web.Configuration - done the reference - the whole deal According to MSDN, Web.Configuration.WebConfiguration manager: Retrieves the specified configuration section from the current Web application's default configuration file. This is a Winforms app - - none of this is recoginzed by my winforms app This has had me working for hours and it hasn't worked - unless someonce can give me some specific example code on how to use it, based on my stated needs, can anyone else help, based on my original post? > The Configuration API would be of help here.

Actually, I finally found a way to make the top link here work, but I can't seem to find a way to pass a directory, so it can get a specific web.config file to parse. Anyone know how to add this in with it? > The Configuration API would be of help here.
