  Sibling of (Parent of current Node) XPATH

  Aug 28, 2014 09:44 AM|Rajesh Mishra|LINK

  HI,

  I have XML source like:

  <RepeatingSegment type="EB">
  <Segment type="EB" name="Eligibility or Benefit Information">
  <Element type="1390" name="Eligibility or Benefit Information" value="Active">1</Element>
  
  <Element type="1391" name="Eligibility or Benefit Information" value="Active">2</Element>
  
  <Element type="1392" name="Eligibility or Benefit Information" value="Active">3</Element>
  
  </Segment >
  
  </RepeatingSegment >
  
  <RepeatingSegment type="MSG">
  
  <Element type="1392" name="Eligibility or Benefit Information" value="data">The Message</Element>
  
  </RepeatingSegment>
  

  
  

  I am inside for-each of <Element> tag inside <RepeatingSegment type="EB">

  I need to check if next sibling of <RepeatingSegment type="EB"> is <RepeatingSegment type="MSG">, then print 'The Message'.

  Again need to check if 'MSG' segment exists, then print 'The Message', till different segment reached.

  ** (Using XSLT) ** Any help near this or selecting next sibling of (parent of current node) will be helpful.

  Hi Rajesh,

  You can use XmlDocument Class to read this XML file.

  You can use XmlDocument.GetElementsByTagName Method (String) to get elements by its name. It will return an XmlNodeList containing a list of all descendant elements that match the specified Name. After that, you can loop all node in this nodelist to check your conditions.

  Hi George,

  Please excuse me for not mentioning that I need to do this using XSLT. I have gone far ahead to come back and use c sharp for reading this XML.

  Hi Rajesh,

  Thanks for your information.

  You can also read XSLT files through XmlDocument class, it might look like this:

  XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
  doc.Load("D:/hello.xslt");
  XmlNodeList list = doc.GetElementsByTagName("RepeatingSegment");

  Regards,

  George.
