Hi i sorry, if any big blunders
i am very new to this kind of programming plese help me
actually i have collected some values from xml file and i need to disply them
so
i wrote
public string[] GetLaserProp(string laserid, string parentnode1, string childnode1)
{
XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
xmldoc.Load(@"E:\Dropdown_XML\laserProp.xml");
string[] str = new string[5];
// XmlNodeList xmlnodelst = xmldoc.GetElementsByTagName("laser");
XmlNodeList xmlnodelst = xmldoc.GetElementsByTagName(parentnode1);
//return xmlnodelst;
//foreach (XmlNode.parentnode in xmlnodelst)
foreach (XmlNode parentnode in xmlnodelst)
{
//MessageBox.Show(parentnode.Attributes.Item(0).Value);
if (parentnode.Attributes.Item(0).Value == laserid)
{
xmldoc.LoadXml(parentnode.InnerXml);
//XmlNodeList xmlchildnodelst=xmldoc.GetElementsByTagName("gauge");
XmlNodeList xmlchildnodelst = xmldoc.GetElementsByTagName(childnode1);
// cmbChildLaser.Items.Clear();
foreach (XmlNode childnode in xmlchildnodelst)
{
for (int i = 0; i < childnode.ChildNodes.Count; i++)
{
//cmbChildLaser.Items.Add(childnode.ChildNodes.Item(i).Attributes.Item(0).Value);
for (int j = 0; j < childnode.ChildNodes.Item(i).Attributes.Count; j++)
{
// MessageBox.Show(
str[j]= childnode.ChildNodes.Item(i).Attributes.Item(j).Value;
//cmbChildLaser.Items.Add(xmlnodelst1.Item(ii).ChildNodes.Item(0).InnerText);
return str;
}
}
}
}
}
//return (Student []) students.ToArray();}
return str;

your posting is a bit hard to read so I attempted to repost it (although the repost may have errors)
public string[] GetLaserProp(string laserid, string parentnode1, string childnode1)
{
XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
xmldoc.Load(@"E:\Dropdown_XML\laserProp.xml");
string[] str = new string[5];
// XmlNodeList xmlnodelst = xmldoc.GetElementsByTagName("laser");
XmlNodeList xmlnodelst = xmldoc.GetElementsByTagName(parentnode1);
//return xmlnodelst;
foreach (XmlNode parentnode in xmlnodelst)
{
if (parentnode.Attributes.Item(0).Value == laserid)
{
xmldoc.LoadXml(parentnode.InnerXml);
XmlNodeList xmlchildnodelst = xmldoc.GetElementsByTagName(childnode1);
foreach (XmlNode childnode in xmlchildnodelst)
{
for (int i = 0; i < childnode.ChildNodes.Count; i++)
{
//cmbChildLaser.Items.Add(childnode.ChildNodes.Item(i).Attributes.Item(0).Value);
for (int j = 0; j < childnode.ChildNodes.Item(i).Attributes.Count; j++)
{
// MessageBox.Show( str[j]= childnode.ChildNodes.Item(i).Attributes.Itemj).Value;

return str;
}
}
}
}
} //return (Student []) students.ToArray();}
return str;
