Re: Verifying node

Hello,

Thanks for your fast reply, but it's not working.
I'm programming in Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition and I'm working with XML files (create, modify, open, read ....).
In the first line Dim Node As System.Xml.XmlNode = m_xmld.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("my:fTotalcuTVA") I've got the next message from the compilator:
"Namespace Manager or XsltContext needed. This query has a prefix, variable, or user-defined function."
And this is the reason because I was using the namespacemanager.
I my code I haven't got this message, but it's not working.

I was checking on the NET about "how to verify if a node exist or not in an XML file", but I found just similary with your code.

Best regards,
Feri

Hi eng. Nagy Ferenc, and welcome to the forums!

I haven't worked with VBScript a lot, but you should be able to change your code to the below. I don't think you need a namespace manager when working with InfoPath.

Dim Node As System.Xml.XmlNode = m_xmld.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("my:fTotal")
If Not Node Is Nothing Then
cell6.Value = Node.InnerText
row.Cells.Add(cell6)
End If

Although I'm not sure what row.Cells.Add() does - is this an Excel smart doc? I'm not sure how much help we'll be able to offer with that.

Verifying node

Hello,

I want to verify with a VB code if a node in an XML file exist or not.

My code is:

Dim nod As System.Xml.XmlNamespaceManager = New System.Xml.XmlNamespaceManager(m_xmld.NameTable)
Dim Node As System.Xml.XmlNode = m_xmld.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("fTotal", nod)
If Not m_xmld.SelectSingleNode("fTotal", nod) Is Nothing Then
cell6.Value = m_xmld.GetElementsByTagName("my:fTotal").Item(0).InnerText
row.Cells.Add(cell6)
End If

And this is not working, he never step into the IF.
This code is in a cycle, and this source is reading some datas from XML files. The "my:fTotal" node exist in some files.
A have to verify if exist this node or not because this line:
cell6.Value = m_xmld.GetElementsByTagName("my:fTotal").Item(0).InnerText
returns me an error is the node doesn't exist.

Please help me.

Best regards,
