Parsing XML string... Please help.. :)

Bob Boursaw

Hey everyone,

I'm sure this is probably very basic but I could sure use some help.

I have a very small XML string which comes in to my application via an event.

I want to parse out the information from this string and store the bits of information in to variables.

The xml string is
DATA1568069401111111

All I am trying to do right now is parse out the data within the DATA1 tags.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

Ok,

I'm missing something here.

I understand the code you provided but how do you specify where the tag resides?

In a file out on disk, defined within a text string called inboundXML, etc?

In my case, I have a long XML string stored in a variable called inboundXML. How do I tell it to look within this string?

int beginIndex = message.IndexOf("") + 7; //gets index of the character after the >.
int endIndex = message.IndexOf(""); //gets the index of the character just after the end of your data.

string myData = message.Substring(beginIndex, endIndex-beginIndex);
