c# 4.0 - XMl parsing in c# 4.0 -

i have following xml parsed

<config> <parametrictesting>y</parameterictesting> <functionaltesting>y</functionaltesting> <utilities>n</utilities> <commonapi>n</commonapi> <clientdata>n</clientdata> <datasourcetest>y<datasourcetest> <excel>  <excelfilepath>myexcel1.xlsx</excelfilepath> </excel> <access>  <accessdb> </accessdb> </access> <sql> <sqlconnectionstring> </sqlconnectionstring> </sql> <runnerconsole>n</runnerconsole> <schedular>n</schedular> </config> 

i using xmlreader read xml since new c# don't know why code breaking after reading second tag i.e parameterictesting.

code:

string configxml = path.getfullpath("config.xml"); xmlreader xmlreader = xmlreader.create(configxml);  while (xmlreader.read()) {     if ((xmlreader.nodetype== xmlnodetype.element) && xmlreader.name.equals("parametrictesting")) {         // todo : write code relevant parametric testing          xmlreader.read();     }     else if ((xmlreader.nodetype== xmlnodetype.element)&& xmlreader.name.equals("datasourcetest")) {         string datasource = xmlreader.getattribute("datasourcetest");          if (datasource.equals("y")) {             if (xmlreader.name.equals("excel") && (xmlreader.nodetype == xmlnodetype.element)) {                 string excelfile = xmlreader.getattribute("excelfilepath");                 string excelpath = path.getdirectoryname(system.reflection.assembly.getexecutingassembly().location) + "\\files\\" + excelfile;                 objexcel.datasourcename = excelfile;                  objexcel.open();             }         }         xmlreader.read();     }     xmlreader.read(); } 

my code not reading element beyond parametrictesting . please help.

you open tag of "parametrictesting" in config.xml different closing tag. correct , line passes.

also, don't close tag "datasourcetest"

here fixed xml:

<config>    <parametrictesting>y</parametrictesting>    <functionaltesting>y</functionaltesting>    <utilities>n</utilities>    <commonapi>n</commonapi>    <clientdata>n</clientdata>    <datasourcetest>y</datasourcetest>    <excel>     <excelfilepath>myexcel1.xlsx</excelfilepath>    </excel>    <access>     <accessdb> </accessdb>    </access>    <sql>       <sqlconnectionstring> </sqlconnectionstring>    </sql>    <runnerconsole>n</runnerconsole>    <schedular>n</schedular> </config>
