I have a program with a set of website links. These links could change at any time so I would like to be able to change the links during runtime and then save it to an XML file so when I close the program and open it again, it can load the settings from the XML file. I have managed to write to a text file the information I want to write however I am unsure how to replace a specific link and name and also call that specific link and name and link it to a button. The code below is to really just write to a XML document if it doesn't already exist. So I have not yet designed or written the form which will change an individual link.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
{
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter("C:\\product.xml", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
writer.WriteStartDocument(true);
writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
writer.Indentation = 2;
writer.WriteStartElement("Table");
createNode("1", "Product 1", "1000", writer);
writer.WriteEndElement();
writer.WriteEndDocument();
writer.Close();
MessageBox.Show("XML File created ! ");
}
}
private void createNode(string Buttons, string Workshop_name, string URL, XmlTextWriter writer)
{
writer.WriteStartElement("Buttons");
writer.WriteStartElement("ButtonID");
writer.WriteString(Buttons);
writer.WriteEndElement();
writer.WriteStartElement("Workshop_name");
writer.WriteString(Workshop_name);
writer.WriteEndElement();
writer.WriteStartElement("URL");
writer.WriteString(URL);
writer.WriteEndElement();
writer.WriteEndElement();
}
I want to be clear. I want to read one node from an XML document and write it to a textbox where a button can then link to the textbox. Since there will be many nodes with email addresses I want to know how to make the node I need unique to the other nodes.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Table>
<Buttons>
<ButtonID>1</ButtonID>
<Workshop_name>Cerner Training</Workshop_name>
<URL>www.mlecerner.co.uk</URL>
</Buttons>
<Buttons>
<ButtonID>2</ButtonID>
<Workshop_name>Cerner Doctors</Workshop_name>
<URL>www.cernerdoctors.co.uk</URL>
</Buttons>
</Table>
