How to put attributes via XElement
I have this code:
XElement EcnAdminConf = new XElement("Type",
new XElement("Connections",
new XElement("Conn"),
// Conn.SetAttributeValue("Server", comboBox1.Text);
// Conn.SetAttributeValue("DataBase", comboBox2.Text))),
new XElement("UDLFiles")));
// Conn.
How do I add attributes to Conn
? I want to add the attributes I marked as comments, but if I try to set the attributes on Conn
after defining EcnAdminConf
, they are not visible.
I want to set them somehow so the XML looks like this:
<Type>
<Connections>
<Conn ServerName="FAXSERVER\SQLEXPRESS" DataBase="SPM_483000" />
<Conn ServerName="FAXSERVER\SQLEXPRESS" DataBase="SPM_483000" />
</Connections>
<UDLFiles />
</Type>
Solution 1:
Add XAttribute
in the constructor of the XElement
, like
new XElement("Conn", new XAttribute("Server", comboBox1.Text));
You can also add multiple attributes or elements via the constructor
new XElement("Conn", new XAttribute("Server", comboBox1.Text), new XAttribute("Database", combobox2.Text));
or you can use the Add-Method of the XElement
to add attributes
XElement element = new XElement("Conn");
XAttribute attribute = new XAttribute("Server", comboBox1.Text);
element.Add(attribute);
