I was asked the other day how to extract a single node value from a string of XML and threw together a quick piece of code to do it.
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
string xmlstr= @"
<statistics>
<gather>66400</gather>
<user_count>666452</user_count>
<user_demand>23.83</user_demand>
</statistics>";
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(xmlstr);
XmlNode node = doc.SelectSingleNode("statistics/user_count");
Label1.Text = node.InnerText;
}
The code simply loads the XML string verbatim into an XmlDocument object, which can then simply be parsed using an XPath selectSingleNode query and slapped into a label control.
If however you have a few entries that are the same in your XML, and you want specific one you can use a use a positional predicate to get the node.
<user_count>666451</user_count>
<gather>66401</gather>
<gather>66402</gather>
<user_count>666453</user_count>
</statistics>"
