  1. POLINQ to XML: How to get to child nodes
    text
    copied!<p>I'm new to LINQ to XML and appreciate assistance with getting to child nodes. </p> <p>XML document:</p> <pre><code> &lt;schedule&gt; &lt;job&gt; &lt;name&gt;nativeJobExample&lt;/name&gt; &lt;group&gt;nativeJobExampleGroup&lt;/group&gt; &lt;description&gt;Sample job for Quartz Server&lt;/description&gt; &lt;job-type&gt;Quartz.Job.NativeJob, Quartz&lt;/job-type&gt; &lt;job-data-map&gt; &lt;entry&gt; &lt;key&gt;command&lt;/key&gt; &lt;value&gt;native_job_example.bat&lt;/value&gt; &lt;/entry&gt; &lt;entry&gt; &lt;key&gt;consumeStreams&lt;/key&gt; &lt;value&gt;true&lt;/value&gt; &lt;/entry&gt; &lt;/job-data-map&gt; &lt;/job&gt; &lt;trigger&gt; &lt;simple&gt; &lt;name&gt;nativeJobExampleSimpleTrigger&lt;/name&gt; &lt;group&gt;nativeJobExampleSimpleTriggerGroup&lt;/group&gt; &lt;description&gt;Simple trigger to simply fire sample job&lt;/description&gt; &lt;job-name&gt;nativeJobExample&lt;/job-name&gt; &lt;job-group&gt;nativeJobExampleGroup&lt;/job-group&gt; &lt;misfire-instruction&gt;SmartPolicy&lt;/misfire-instruction&gt; &lt;repeat-count&gt;5&lt;/repeat-count&gt; &lt;repeat-interval&gt;10000&lt;/repeat-interval&gt; &lt;/simple&gt; &lt;/trigger&gt; &lt;/schedule&gt; </code></pre> <p>I'm able to get to nodes like this:</p> <pre><code>XDocument document = XDocument.Load(@pmPathFileName); XElement root = document.Root; root.Elements("job").Where(e =&gt; e.Element("name").Value.Equals("nativeJobExample")). Select(e =&gt; e.Element("description")).Single().SetValue("wwww"); </code></pre> <p>The XML document contains multiple pairs of jobs and triggers.</p> <p>Two questions on how to update values:</p> <ol> <li><p>How do I get to job-data-map|entry|key|value?</p></li> <li><p>How do I get to trigger|simple|name|repeat-count?</p></li> </ol>
