Basically using just a bit of LINQ syntax, I'm iterating through an XML document and converting it directly into my custom object.
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Xml.Linq; using System.Reflection; namespace MyBaddassCodeBase.NinjaCampRox { public class Ninja { public int SwordsInHand { get; set; } public Ninja() { } public static IEnumerableCreateFromXML(string xmlData) { XDocument xData = XDocument.Parse(xmlData); var ninjas = from swordNode in xData.Descendants("Swords") select new { Swords = swordNode.Value }; foreach (var ninja in ninjas) { Ninja nja = new Ninja(); nja.SwordsInHand = ninja.Swords; yield return nja; } } } }
One I have that, I can quickly build and iterate through enumerable lists of that custom object.
Neat isn't it?
