Here's the relevant code:
Public class User.cs:
public void FindByID(int id)
{
Parser parser = new Parser(id);
ID = parser.FindID();
Name = parser.FindName();
Rating = parser.FindRating();
Photo = parser.FindPhoto();
Reputation = parser.FindReputation();
Group = parser.FindGroup();
PostCount = parser.FindPosts();
PostPerDay = parser.FindPostsPerDay();
JoinDate = parser.FindJoinDate();
Views = parser.FindViews();
LastActive = parser.FindLastActive();
Title = parser.FindTitle();
Age = parser.FindAge();
Birthday = parser.FindBirthday();
Sex = parser.FindSex();
}
Public class Parser.cs:
public Parser(int userID)
{
doc = XDocument.Load(String.Format("http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/xml.php?showuser={0}", userID));
}
/***********************************************************
* Methods that scrape information individually for fields *
* ********************************************************/
public string FindID()
{
return doc.XPathSelectElement("/ipb/profile/id").Value;
}
public string FindName()
{
return doc.XPathSelectElement("/ipb/profile/name").Value;
}
/etc etc etc
If I try to search for a user that doesn't exist I get an exception thrown because doc is never initialized. I'm not sure where I should catch this bug. Maybe the way I've done things have put me in this position.
I'd like to learn. :P Thanks!
