I have a root XML which is like this:
<Root xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/" xmlns:t="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Element1>somevalue</Element1>
<Data/>
<Root>
I need to add few customer related informaiton like (Name, Age etc) under Data Element Node. So, the result I expect is follows:
<Root xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/" xmlns:t="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Element1>somevalue</Element1>
<Data>
<Name t:type="xs:string" xmlns="" xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">Elvis</Name>
<Address t:type="xs:string" xmlns="" xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">Some address</Address>
</Data>
<Root>
How can I achieve this? I am using C#, .net 4.0.
I was trying out the below code, but didn't get the result I was expecting:
string strTemplate = "<Root xmlns='http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/' xmlns:t='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'><Element1>somevalue</Element1><Data/></Root>";
XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(strTemplate);
XElement rootElement = doc.Root;
XElement dataElement = null;
foreach (XElement descendant in rootElement.Descendants())
{
if (descendant.Name.LocalName == "Data")
{
dataElement = descendant;
break;
}
}
string cusData = "<CustData><Name>Elvis</Name><Address>XYZ</Address></CustData>";
XElement customerElements = XElement.Parse(cusData);
if (dataElement != null)
{
foreach (XElement custAttributes in customerElements.Descendants())
{
XNamespace t = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
var attribute = new XAttribute(t + "type", "xs:string");
var attribute1 = new XAttribute(XNamespace.Xmlns + "s", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
XElement element = new XElement(custAttributes.Name, attribute, attribute1);
element.Value = custAttributes.Value;
dataElement.Add(element);
}
}
string strPayload = doc.ToString();
When I execute the code I get the following:
<Data xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/">
<Name t:type="xs:string" xmlns:t="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="">Elvis</Name>
<Address t:type="xs:string" xmlns:t="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="">XYZ</Address>
</Data>
Any help appreciated!
