I'm saving 2-dimensional coordinates on an XML file with a structure similar to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<grid>
<coordinate time="78">
<initial>540:672</initial>
<final>540:672</final>
</coordinate>
</grid>
I can open the XML file and read it via the XmlTextReader, but how do I loop through the coordinates specifically to retrieve both the time attribute and data between the initial and final nodes in some format similar to:
string initial = "540:672";
string final = "540:672";
int time = 78;
New Code:
My New Code:
//Read the XML file.
XDocument xmlDoc = XDocument.Load("C:\\test.xml");
foreach (var coordinate in xmlDoc.Descendants("coordinate"))
{
this.coordinates[this.counter][0] = coordinate.Attribute("time").Value;
this.coordinates[this.counter][1] = coordinate.Element("initial").Value;
this.coordinates[this.counter][2] = coordinate.Element("final").Value;
this.counter++;
};
but now I get this error:
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<grid>
<coordinate time="62">
<initial>540:672</initial>
<final>540:672</final>
</coordinate>
...
<coordinate time="46">
<initial>176:605</initial>
<final>181:617</final>
</coordinate>
</grid>
Skipped a few coordinate tags to fit, but they all had the time attribute and initial/final subtags.
Globals
uint counter = 0;
// Coordinates to be retrieved from the XML file.
string[][] coordinates;
