Delete Xml

Jay Webster

Hi,

I have the above XML and code:

XML

    Game1
    Test1

    Game2
    Test2

Code
var deleteNode = doc.SelectSingleNode("//Library/Game[id='1']");
deleteNode.ParentNode.RemoveAll();

I want to remove the following:

    Game1
    Test1

It should look like this after:

    Game2
    Test2

The code doesnt seem to be working though :(

Jay

That looks like code for the old XmlDocument class so I'm not surprised it doesn't work!

For LINQ to XML, I'd use:

doc.Descendants("Game").Where( e => (string)e.Attribute("id") == "1").Remove();

Worked :) I think I will convert all my XmlDocument code to LINQ to XML.

Thanks!
