Merging XML Nodes into another document

Posted 26 March 2012 - 04:12 PM

Hey. Basically im at university and we have a motion capture system. you know the sort. silly lycra suits with dots on them used to animate 3d characters for film etc. this system costs upwards of 70,000 and if you use a prop in your take it generates 2 files which you must edit manually which is a pain if you do it wrong.
Basically you copy across the contents of 2 nodes from one xml document into another 2 nodes in another xml document.

Here is the first document.

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
	<KinematicModel>
		<Parameters/>
		<Skeleton>
			<Segment NAME="Bat" POSITION="0 0 0" COVARIANCE="1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1" BOUNDS="-57.4309 -52.5871 -13.9333 37.5105 750.982 13.0406" RGB="0 147 0">

			</Segment>

		<MarkerSet NAME="">

			</Markers>
			<Sticks/>
		</MarkerSet>
	</KinematicModel>

The lines i need are those in the Skeleton Node and those in the Marker Node

They then get placed in this document in their respective place.

What i would like to know is how exactly would i do this? ive attempted many different ways but i havent used vb in such a long time and im struggling.
I would like to read each of the sections i need into richtext boxes for display and error checking and also load each document into separate rich text boxes as well as give some form of validation/confirmation that the merge worked.

Can anyone Help?

Regards
Jack

Since vb.net 2008 it has had the ability to understand XML natively, with the inclusion of XML Literals.
That combined with LINQ to XML is, if thee most envied language feature of vb.net

               </MarkerSet>
             </KinematicModel>

I've embedded the XML directly but it can be loaded in from a file.

Then is really simple to query.

    Dim segs = x1.<KinematicModel>.<Skeleton>.<Segment>
    Dim markers = x1.<KinematicModel>.<MarkerSet>.<Markers>.<Marker>

Replace nodes.

    x2.<KinematicModel>.<MarkerSet>.First.ReplaceAll(markers)

  End Sub

End Module

If you also add or generate the schema for the XML, you'll also get Intellisense support.

That combined with LINQ to XML is, if thee most envied language feature of vb.net

Hey,
Ive attempted a good few snippets trying to get the code from a specific child node using the xml and Linq classes but so far ive had no luck with them.
Ive only really done a few database management systems in vb.net before so alot of the coding syntax is new to me.
Ill take a look at those literals and see how it goes thanks

Jack

I've updated the previous post.

Remember that they return an IEnumerable so it could be empty.

Hey thanks for the code. Im kind of following it but it seems that the 2 declarations for the query, the segs and marker ones. im struggling to see what they do. do the segs and markers variables hold the data thats held in the defined nodes? if so how can they then be read into a rich text box? ive tried

rtb1.text = segs.value

but it doesnt return any values. I realise im attempting something i know little about but it would make alot of peoples workflows alot faster!

Set a breakpoint in the debugger. and have look.
You can even use the XML Visualiser to see the structure.

Ah brilliant!! i stepped into the code and in the locals window i see the segs and markers veriables change to XmlQuery
I expand them and under a results tree node there is the data i need. Only question now is how do i get at the data stored in this structure as segs.results isnt valid syntax.

Then you need to research what type a LINQ Query returns. I think I've mention this already.
Is there any VB.net Tutorials that cover them.

Stupid me its an array so the segs(0).tostring is what i need. i was going to edit the post but myself not being used to these boards i cant seem to find the edit button

Thanks for your help!

It isn't an Array.

Hmmm isnt it? it certainly acts like one. the tostring works for getting the data into the text boxes.

The query returns an IEnumerable(Of T) where T usually is it Greatest Common Base Type.
Notice how you had to expand it the Debugger, this is because IEnumerables are Lazy.

Which why a lot add a .ToArray or .ToList

but the sort of loses the benefit of it being Lazy,

The query is not evaluated until you do some thing with them.

What if the query return nothing at all, completely empty.

And you should use .Count as IEnumerable can be infinite in length.

The query shouldnt ever return nothing because the xml file is always the same length and is always perfect in structure and content otherwise the system wont create the file in the first place so that shouldn't be a problem. if these two files work then future files will inevitably work.

The only problem is i cant seem to work out how to use an ofd to load into either variable because i cant load a document path as the x1 value and i cant load the document into a sring and use that string as the x1 value. Im sorry if im asking alot of you.

Never assume and check, you have code defensively.

What's the type of x1 and x2 (hint: It isn't String)
Once you discover the type does it have a Load method?
