reading nodes from an xmldocument

Question

hello all, i was wondering how i could read through a xml document.
The structure of the xml is as follows...

XML

<response>
 <forecast>
  <txt_forecast>
  </txt_forecast>
  <simpleforecast>
   <forecastdays>
    <forecastday>
      <day>tuesday</day>
      <tempF>100</tempF>
      <tempC>40</tempC>
    </forecastday>
    <forecastday>
       <day>...
       <tempF>
        .....
    </forecastday>
   </forecastdays>
  </simpleforecast>
 </forecast>
</response>

now i have selected the forecastdays node which is of main concern to me... like

C#

XmlDocument xmlForecast = new XmlDocument();
        xmlForecast.Load(string.Format("http://adfm.com/api/aasdfadf3/forecast/q/np/{0}", strCityName));

if (xmlForecast.SelectSingleNode("/response/error") != null)
            {
                condition.Error = xmlForecast.SelectSingleNode("/response/error/description").InnerText;
            }
            else if(xmlForecast.SelectSingleNode("/response/forecast/simpleforecast/forecastdays")!=null)
            {

                
                
            }

now all i want to do is iterate through all the forecastday nodes present inside the
response/forecast/simpleforecast/forecastdays....and store it in a generic list.
How do i do the iteration?? i just want to know how to iterate...after that storing a dictionary or a list<string> will be no problem.

Thanks in advance,
Minghang

Solution 1

use below for loop to iterate through forecastdays to get each forecastday

C#

else if (xmlForecast.SelectSingleNode("/response/forecast/simpleforecast/forecastdays") != null)
            {
                XmlNodeList forecastdays = xmlForecast.SelectSingleNode("/response/forecast/simpleforecast/forecastdays").ChildNodes;
                foreach (XmlNode forecastday in forecastdays)
                {

                }
            }

Thank you hitesh! That is exactly what i wanted...although i have to put in lots of iterations inside since the xml actually contains much more nodes. However, the code that u provided worked for me. Thanks again! Cheers!
