VB Read and Write XML file - XboxMB

sixxkilur · 03-09-2012

I am new to Vb and XML So how would I write a XML file like the following?

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Data>
  <Info>
    <Media ID="0048745.ini" Tid="0048745" TN="Get Bent" NT="480" TM="8500" DownloadLink="www.???.???" />
</Info>
</Data>

This is the code I use that does not work correctly.

Code:

Imports System.Xml

Public Class frmMain

    
    Private Sub btnCreate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCreate.Click

        Dim settings As New XmlWriterSettings()
        settings.Indent = True
        Dim XmlWrt As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(Application.StartupPath & "XmlTest.xml", settings)

        With XmlWrt
            .WriteStartDocument()
            '.WriteComment("This is a test file.")
            .WriteStartElement("Data")
            .WriteStartElement("Info")
            .WriteStartElement("Media")
            .WriteAttributeString("ID", value:="0048745.ini" & "Tid")
            .WriteEndElement()
            .WriteEndDocument()
            .Close()
        End With

        ShowXml()

    End Sub

How would I read the info in the XML into different text boxes?
Thank you for your help!

Oh come on smart @$$, that is not even relevant!

Your clues to the crypto was
A Deep South Band
Part of a Very Popular Quotation

Sweet Home Alabama was a good guess just based on that clue even though it was wrong. Meaning my response Sweet Home Alabama was completely relevant just incorrect.

That 'One' Clever Comment! - have a guess! at why you say your coding doesn't work properly! - you might just guess right! - your coding is relevant to the problem - it just doesn't work properly, you say! - Would you like me to have a guess - Might? be something to do with your Code ...

I know that using & just addes the other

Code:

.WriteAttributeString("ID", value:="0048745.ini" & "Tid")

The code writes the XML as

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Data>
  <Info>
    <Media ID="0048745.iniTid" />
  </Info>
</Data>

Other methods I have tried also return errors or format the XML differently.
