    <p>I know this will look like a stupid simple question to ask but I will ask it anyways. I have been trying to read this xml file: </p> <pre><code>&lt;Songs&gt; &lt;song&gt; &lt;TrackID&gt;1666&lt;/TrackID&gt; &lt;Name&gt;What's the Matter Here?&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;Artist&gt;10,000 Maniacs&lt;/Artist&gt; &lt;AlbumArtist&gt;10,000 Maniacs&lt;/AlbumArtist&gt; &lt;Composer&gt;Natalie Merchant/Robert Buck&lt;/Composer&gt; &lt;Album&gt;In My Tribe&lt;/Album&gt; &lt;Genre&gt;Rock&lt;/Genre&gt; &lt;Kind&gt;MPEG audio file&lt;/Kind&gt; &lt;Size&gt;9318485&lt;/Size&gt; &lt;TotalTime&gt;291134&lt;/TotalTime&gt; &lt;TrackNumber&gt;1&lt;/TrackNumber&gt; &lt;Year&gt;1987&lt;/Year&gt; &lt;DateModified&gt;2005-03-09T07:31:09Z&lt;/DateModified&gt; &lt;DateAdded&gt;2007-07-20T17:21:36Z&lt;/DateAdded&gt; &lt;BitRate&gt;256&lt;/BitRate&gt; &lt;SampleRate&gt;44100&lt;/SampleRate&gt; &lt;Comments&gt; &lt;/Comments&gt; &lt;PersistentID&gt;54F22391EB807F38&lt;/PersistentID&gt; &lt;TrackType&gt;File&lt;/TrackType&gt; &lt;Location&gt;&lt;/Location&gt; &lt;/song&gt; &lt;song&gt; &lt;TrackID&gt;1666&lt;/TrackID&gt; &lt;Name&gt;What's the Matter Here?&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;Artist&gt;10,000 Maniacs&lt;/Artist&gt; &lt;AlbumArtist&gt;10,000 Maniacs&lt;/AlbumArtist&gt; &lt;Composer&gt;Natalie Merchant/Robert Buck&lt;/Composer&gt; &lt;Album&gt;In My Tribe&lt;/Album&gt; &lt;Genre&gt;Rock&lt;/Genre&gt; &lt;Kind&gt;MPEG audio file&lt;/Kind&gt; &lt;Size&gt;9318485&lt;/Size&gt; &lt;TotalTime&gt;291134&lt;/TotalTime&gt; &lt;TrackNumber&gt;1&lt;/TrackNumber&gt; &lt;Year&gt;1987&lt;/Year&gt; &lt;DateModified&gt;2005-03-09T07:31:09Z&lt;/DateModified&gt; &lt;DateAdded&gt;2007-07-20T17:21:36Z&lt;/DateAdded&gt; &lt;BitRate&gt;256&lt;/BitRate&gt; &lt;SampleRate&gt;44100&lt;/SampleRate&gt; &lt;Comments&gt; &lt;/Comments&gt; &lt;PersistentID&gt;54F22391EB807F38&lt;/PersistentID&gt; &lt;TrackType&gt;File&lt;/TrackType&gt; &lt;Location&gt;&lt;/Location&gt; &lt;/song&gt; &lt;/Songs&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am using this code to read the above:</p> <pre><code> private static void LoadSongsFromITunes(string xmlFile) { XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings(); settings.IgnoreComments = true; settings.IgnoreWhitespace = true; string album=null ; string artists=null ; string genres=null ; string year=null ; string duration=null ; try { using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(xmlFile, settings)) { string xmlContent; while (reader.Read()) { if (reader.NodeType != XmlNodeType.Element) continue; xmlContent = ""; string name=null; if (reader.Name == "Name") { name = reader.ReadString().ToString(); } if (reader.Name == "Artist") { artists = reader.ReadString().ToString(); } if (reader.Name == "Album") { album = reader.ReadString().ToString(); } if (reader.Name == "Genre") { genres = reader.ReadString().ToString(); } if (reader.Name == "Year") { year = reader.ReadString(); } if (reader.Name == "Duration") { duration = reader.ReadString().ToString(); } Console.WriteLine(name); } } } catch { } </code></pre> <p>However, it seems like the reader just returns null. I have stepped over the code through the debugger but I can't quite get what's wrong with this code. P.S: Can someone provide a better way to do this? Like using link to xml or something?</p>

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
