XmlConvert Class

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Encodes and decodes XML names and provides methods for converting between common language runtime types. When converting data types the values returned are locale independent.

Methods

	Name	Description

	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	IsNCNameChar	Checks if the passed-in character is a valid Name Character type.

Remarks

Element and attribute names or ID values are limited to a range of XML characters according to the Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Fourth Edition) recommendation, located at http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-20060816/. When names contain invalid characters, the EncodeName and DecodeName methods are used to translate them into valid XML names.

Many languages and applications such as Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Word, allow Unicode characters in their names, which are not valid in XML names. For example, if 'Order Detail' were a column heading in a database, the database allows the space between the words Order and Detail. However, in XML, the space between Order and Detail is considered an invalid XML character. Thus, the space, the invalid character, needs to be converted into an escaped hexadecimal encoding and can be decoded later.

The EncodeName method can be used with the XmlWriter class to ensure the names being written are valid XML names. The following C# code converts the name 'Order Detail' into a valid XML name and writes the element <Order_0x0020_Detail>My order</Order_0x0020_Detail>.

 writer.WriteElementString(XmlConvert.EncodeName("Order Detail"),"My order");

XmlConvert also provides methods that enable you to convert from a string to a.NET Framework data type and vice-versa. Locale settings are not taken into account during data conversion.

Examples

'Define the order data.  They will be converted to string 
'before being written out.
Dim custID As Int16 = 32632
Dim orderID As String = "367A54"
Dim orderDate As New DateTime()
orderDate = DateTime.Now
Dim price As Double = 19.95

Dim output As New StringBuilder()

'Create a writer that outputs to the console.
Dim writer As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(output)

'Write an element (this one is the root)
writer.WriteStartElement("order")

'Write the order date.
writer.WriteAttributeString("date", XmlConvert.ToString(orderDate, "yyyy-MM-dd"))

'Write the order time.
writer.WriteAttributeString("time", XmlConvert.ToString(orderDate, "HH:mm:ss"))

'Write the order data.
writer.WriteElementString("orderID", orderID)
writer.WriteElementString("custID", XmlConvert.ToString(custID))
writer.WriteElementString("price", XmlConvert.ToString(price))

'Write the close tag for the root element
writer.WriteEndElement()

'Write the XML and close the writer
writer.Close()


' Display the output to the TextBlock control
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()


//Define the order data.  They will be converted to string 
//before being written out.
Int16 custID = 32632;
String orderID = "367A54";
DateTime orderDate = new DateTime();
orderDate = DateTime.Now;
Double price = 19.95;

StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();

//Create a writer that outputs to the console.
using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(output))
{
    //Write an element (this one is the root)
    writer.WriteStartElement("order");

    //Write the order date.
    writer.WriteAttributeString("date", XmlConvert.ToString(orderDate, "yyyy-MM-dd"));

    //Write the order time.
    writer.WriteAttributeString("time", XmlConvert.ToString(orderDate, "HH:mm:ss"));

    //Write the order data.
    writer.WriteElementString("orderID", orderID);
    writer.WriteElementString("custID", XmlConvert.ToString(custID));
    writer.WriteElementString("price", XmlConvert.ToString(price));

    //Write the close tag for the root element
    writer.WriteEndElement();

    //Write the XML and close the writer
}

// Display the output to the TextBlock control
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
