C# Foreach XML Node

Question

I\'m saving 2-dimensional coordinates on an XML file with a structure similar to:

Answer 1

You could have used XmlSerialization to make the XML into a simple list of coordinate classes with a small amount of work, e.g.

    public class coordinate
    {
        [XmlAttribute]
        public int time;
        [XmlElement(ElementName="initial")]
        public string initial;
        [XmlElement(ElementName = "final")]
        public string final;

        public coordinate()
        {
            time = 0;
            initial = "";
            final = "";
        }
    }

    public class grid
    {
        [XmlElement(ElementName="coordinate", Type = typeof(coordinate))]
        public coordinate[] list;

        public grid()
        {
            list = new coordinate[0];
        }
    }     

Then in your code:

XmlReader r = new XmlReader.Create(...);
grid g = (grid) new XmlSerializer(typeof(grid)).Deserialize(r);
