Hi All,

         I just stampled accross this weired behavior trying to loop through an xml file by selecting the appropriate nodes. I don't seem to understand why it does the whole for loop twice. Any help greatly appreciated.

Dim m_nodelist As XmlNodeList

m_nodelist = xmlDoc.SelectNodes("/cart_item/item")

For Each node In m_nodelist

  </item>
</cart_item>

Hi penkye ,

penkye:

I don't seem to understand why it does the whole for loop twice

There are two item nodes in this xml file. The xpath ("/cart_item/item") indicate that to fetch all item nodes under cart_item node. So loop twice.

Hi Samu, I tried your suggestion but it some how still loops twice through the xml file. I'm not exactly sure what to do but i do well any suggestions or different approach to my problem. 

Thanks.

Provide 2 things here...ur input xml and wot out put u need from that xml

Hi kavita, i'm not at this point trying to input any more data into the xml. i have the data that i need already and need to pass it to a process that will read and input the data into our system. For some strange reason when it loops through the selection node (item) it sort of loops twice and i don't know why?

Remove this line... Dim node As XmlNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("/cart_item/item")

And change the loop to

For Each node as XmlNode In m_nodelist

this should do the trick.

Humm of course i know that,,,

i mean to say That..

whenu do this..

xmlDoc.Load("D:\website\apphtml\da_beta\xml\" + iCookie + ".xml")

u can get the xml input file by doing this

string myXml = xmlDoc.DocumentElement.OuterXml.

I wanted u to paste the myXml varibale result over here.. it wud be good if u do that..so that we can solve ur prob
