Get last attribute in Xml file

Question

User1661005202 posted

I am using Asp.net 2.0 and not using linq. Is it possible to get  an attribute of the last element  in an XML file. I want to get the  last elements attribute "articleId" value (4). Now the last number value will change with each new article  added to the Xml file. What's the best way to read through an XML file find the last "content" entry and get its article attribute value.

<blog>

<content articleId="1" category=""  img="" month="" title="" user=""
 date="" Description="" >
</content>g>

<content articleId="2" category=""  img="" month="" title="" user=""
 date="" Description="" >
</content>

<content articleId="3" category=""  img="" month="" title="" user=""
 date="" Description="" >
</content>

<content articleId="4" category=""  img="" month="" title="" user=""
 date="" Description="" >
</content>

Hi,

Try to like this,

XmlNodeList xmlnode = xmldoc.GetElementsByTagName("content");

int NodeCount = xmlnode.Count;
XmlAttributeCollection xmlattrc = xmlnode[NodeCount-1].Attributes;
Console.WriteLine(xmlattrc["articleId"].Value);
