Hi,
Got a small XML issue I could do with some help on.
I have an XML file that looks like this
<GirlRecord>
<FirstName>Girly</FirstName>
<LastName>Girl</LastName>
...
</GirlRecord>
The GirlRecord can contain upto 50 different fields - it doesn't have to
contain all of them (so a record with 26 fields is fine).
I have a containing class which looks like this
public class GirlRecords
{
public GirlRecords(){}
public string FirstName
{get;set;}
public string LastName
{get;set;}
// and so on
}
To load the XML file back in, my code looks like this
private List<GirlRecords> ReadInGirlRecords()
{
List<GirlRecords> toReturn = new List<GirlRecords>();
GirlRecords aff = null;
int m = 0;
string localPath = Path.Combine(path, "GirlRecords.xml");
if (!File.Exists(localPath))
return toReturn;
using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(localPath))
{
aff = new GirlRecords();
while (reader.Read())
{
if (reader.IsStartElement())
{
switch (reader.Name)
{
case "FirstName":
reader.Read();
aff.FirstName = reader.Value;
break;
case "LastName":
reader.Read();
aff.LastName = reader.Value;
break;
The problem is that to add to the List, I need to find the terminating
</GirlRecord> and act on that.
Question is, how do I do that? Should I use XmlReadInner or ReadOuter or
is there a better way?

vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a
long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to
space, listen..."
