[C#/XML] Writing Multiple Values in an Element

[Smarter]

Okay, I have never been good with anything involving IO/XML ... for the life of me I cannot figure out how to write multiple values into an Element, suchas:

<Mob Name="Blah" Entry="1234" />

XmlWriter.WriteElementString(); - Writes

<Mob>Blah</Mob>

.... :-\. Someone want to point me in the write direction? :-\

Hello, you have to use xmlWriter.WriteAttributeString(string, string) after your WriteElementString(string, string) like in this example : Understand XML formatting options in .NET | TechRepublic (under Listing C).

Thank you very much, however this creates a full ended element. I need one simply

<Mob Blah=123" />

I.e HB Format "/>".

have you looked at Mr.GearBuyer? it uses a save method like that, you might be able to learn from it.

            public XElement ToXml()
            {
                return new XElement(
                            "Item",
                            new XElement("ItemId", ItemId),
                            new XElement("ItemName", ItemName),
                            new XElement("ItemCost", ItemCost),
                            new XElement("ItemCostType", ItemCostType),
                            new XElement("ItemSupplierId", ItemSupplierId)
                            );
            }

This is the method you speak of?

I suggest using LINQ to XML (or just XElement/XAttribute/etc)

new XElement("Mob", new XAttribute("Entry", mobEntry)).ToString()

Play around with it. It makes life much simpler.

                            "Item",
                            new XElement("ItemId", ItemId),
                            new XElement("ItemName", ItemName),
                            new XElement("ItemCost", ItemCost),
                            new XElement("ItemCostType", ItemCostType),
                            new XElement("ItemSupplierId", ItemSupplierId)
                            );
            }

Hah, thanks, but yeah generally that's what I do .

Ah, much better, thank you very much.

(Double Post, I know)

Just to make sure I got this right, instead of testing it like a non-lazy person lol:

            var profileXml =
                new XElement("HBProfile",
                             new XElement("Name", profile.Name),
                             new XElement("MinLevel", profile.MinLevel.ToString()),
                             new XElement("MaxLevel", profile.MaxLevel.ToString()),
                             new XElement("MinDurability", profile.MinDurability.ToString()),
                             new XElement("MinFreeBagSlots", profile.MinFreeBagSlots.ToString()),
                             new XElement("MailGrey", profile.MailGrey.ToString()),
                             new XElement("MailWhite", profile.MailWhite.ToString()),
                             new XElement("MailGreen", profile.MailGreen.ToString()),
                             new XElement("MailBlue", profile.MailBlue.ToString()),
                             new XElement("MailPurple", profile.MailPurple.ToString()),
                             new XElement("SellGrey", profile.SellGrey.ToString()),
                             new XElement("SellWhite", profile.SellWhite.ToString()),
                             new XElement("SellGreen", profile.SellGreen.ToString()),
                             new XElement("SellBlue", profile.SellBlue.ToString()),
                             new XElement("SellPurple", profile.SellPurple.ToString()),
                             new XElement("TargetElites", profile.TargetElites.ToString()),
                             new XElement("ContinentId", profile.ContinentId.ToString()));
            profileXml.Save("someProfile.xml");

Would produce the header, (Properly?) etc?
