    <p>I am trying to create a class which saves/reads multiple XML files using LINQ and Genertics. </p> <p><strong>I am looking for generic way of saving XMl files of multiple type (i.e data in them)</strong></p> <p>Every XML file will have following format</p> <pre><code>&lt;ROOT&gt; &lt;!-- First Element/First Row --&gt; &lt;NODE&gt; &lt;COL1&gt;Some value&lt;/COL1&gt; ..... &lt;COLn&gt;Some value&lt;/COLn&gt; &lt;/NODE&gt; ......... &lt;!-- Nth Element = nth row --&gt; &lt;NODE&gt; &lt;COL1&gt;Some value&lt;/COL1&gt; ..... &lt;COLn&gt;Some value&lt;/COLn&gt; &lt;/NODE&gt; &lt;/ROOT&gt; </code></pre> <p>Every file will have a different ROOT, NODE and COLx. The Number of columns and data in them depends on the Multi-Dim array input. This input array also gives the number of NODES tags in xml (elements in array).</p> <p>A method to save an XML file looks like</p> <pre><code>public void SaveFirstXmlFile() { XElement xdoc = new XElement("ThisDocsRoot"); //Iterate for number of rows(elements of data) for (int nodes= 1; nodes&lt;= NUMBER_OF_NODES; nodes++) { xdoc.Add(new XElement(row, new XElement("Col 1", "Some Value"), new XElement("Col 2", "Some Value"), new XElement("Col 3", "Some Value") )); } xdoc.Save("/Path/To/XML/File"); } </code></pre> <p>I wanted to tweak this method so that it works for multiple XML files.I don't know if it is correct way of doiung it, but I strated creating CLasses which define the root,node,columns and path for the XML file. and The data comes from Multi-Dim Arrays created by some other classes.</p> <pre><code>private class AClassforSomeXMLFile { private readonly String _root; private readonly String _row; private readonly String[] _columns; private readonly String _exportPath; public UsageData() { _exportPath = string.Format(@"{0}\xyz.xml",Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath)); _root = "ROOT"; _row = "NODE"; _columns = new string[] { "COL1","COL2", "COL3","COL4", }; } public string ROOT { get { return _root; } } public string ROW { get { return _row; } } public string[] COLS { get { return _columns; }} public string EPATH { get { return _exportPath; }} } </code></pre>

    1. COI don't see how this would require generics -- just replace your literals in `SaveFirstXmlFile` with the values from `AClassforSomeXMLFile`?

    2. COI know, but this will only for one class, and I have at-least 5 different types of XML files to make. I want one method which works for all of these.

    3. COCan you give one more example of another type of xml file you want to make? It is not very clear what is the difference between these xml files. Is it only names of nodes, like ROOT can become AAA, NODE can become ITEM, etc? Or difference lies in xml structure?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
