    text
    copied!<p>I have to load many XML files from internet. But for testing with better speed i downloaded all of them (more than 500 files) of the following format.</p> <pre><code>&lt;player-profile&gt; &lt;personal-information&gt; &lt;id&gt;36&lt;/id&gt; &lt;fullname&gt;Adam Gilchrist&lt;/fullname&gt; &lt;majorteam&gt;Australia&lt;/majorteam&gt; &lt;nickname&gt;Gilchrist&lt;/nickname&gt; &lt;shortName&gt;A Gilchrist&lt;/shortName&gt; &lt;dateofbirth&gt;Nov 14, 1971&lt;/dateofbirth&gt; &lt;battingstyle&gt;Left-hand bat&lt;/battingstyle&gt; &lt;bowlingstyle&gt;Right-arm offbreak&lt;/bowlingstyle&gt; &lt;role&gt;Wicket-Keeper&lt;/role&gt; &lt;teams-played-for&gt;Western Australia, New South Wales, ICC World XI, Deccan Chargers, Australia&lt;/teams-played-for&gt; &lt;iplteam&gt;Deccan Chargers&lt;/iplteam&gt; &lt;/personal-information&gt; &lt;batting-statistics&gt; &lt;odi-stats&gt; &lt;matchtype&gt;ODI&lt;/matchtype&gt; &lt;matches&gt;287&lt;/matches&gt; &lt;innings&gt;279&lt;/innings&gt; &lt;notouts&gt;11&lt;/notouts&gt; &lt;runsscored&gt;9619&lt;/runsscored&gt; &lt;highestscore&gt;172&lt;/highestscore&gt; &lt;ballstaken&gt;9922&lt;/ballstaken&gt; &lt;sixes&gt;149&lt;/sixes&gt; &lt;fours&gt;1000+&lt;/fours&gt; &lt;ducks&gt;0&lt;/ducks&gt; &lt;fifties&gt;55&lt;/fifties&gt; &lt;catches&gt;417&lt;/catches&gt; &lt;stumpings&gt;55&lt;/stumpings&gt; &lt;hundreds&gt;16&lt;/hundreds&gt; &lt;strikerate&gt;96.95&lt;/strikerate&gt; &lt;average&gt;35.89&lt;/average&gt; &lt;/odi-stats&gt; &lt;test-stats&gt; . . . &lt;/test-stats&gt; &lt;t20-stats&gt; . . . &lt;/t20-stats&gt; &lt;ipl-stats&gt; . . . &lt;/ipl-stats&gt; &lt;/batting-statistics&gt; &lt;bowling-statistics&gt; &lt;odi-stats&gt; &lt;matchtype&gt;ODI&lt;/matchtype&gt; &lt;matches&gt;378&lt;/matches&gt; &lt;ballsbowled&gt;58&lt;/ballsbowled&gt; &lt;runsgiven&gt;64&lt;/runsgiven&gt; &lt;wickets&gt;3&lt;/wickets&gt; &lt;fourwicket&gt;0&lt;/fourwicket&gt; &lt;fivewicket&gt;0&lt;/fivewicket&gt; &lt;strikerate&gt;19.33&lt;/strikerate&gt; &lt;economyrate&gt;6.62&lt;/economyrate&gt; &lt;average&gt;21.33&lt;/average&gt; &lt;/odi-stats&gt; &lt;test-stats&gt; . . . &lt;/test-stats&gt; &lt;t20-stats&gt; . . . &lt;/t20-stats&gt; &lt;ipl-stats&gt; . . . &lt;/ipl-stats&gt; &lt;/bowling-statistics&gt; &lt;/player-profile&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am using </p> <pre><code>XmlNodeList list = _document.SelectNodes("/player-profile/batting-statistics/odi-stats"); </code></pre> <p>And then loop this list with <code>foreach</code> as </p> <pre><code>foreach (XmlNode stats in list) { _btMatchType = GetInnerString(stats, "matchtype"); //it returns null string if node not availible . . . . _btAvg = Convert.ToDouble(stats["average"].InnerText); } </code></pre> <p>Even i am loading all files offline, parsing is very slow Is there any good faster way to parse them? Or is it problem with SQL? I am saving all extracted data from XML to database using DataSets, TableAdapters with insert command.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Now for using XmlReader please give some code of XmlReader for above document. for now, i have done this </p> <pre><code>void Load(string url) { _reader = XmlReader.Create(url); while (_reader.Read()) { } } </code></pre> <p>Availible Methods for XmlReader are confusing. What i need is to get batting and bowling stats completly, batting and bowling stats are different, while odi,t2o,ipl etc are same inside bowling and batting.</p>
