iterate nodes

[magmo]

Hi


I have a xml file that looks like this..

<books>
<book id="1">
<name>Book 1</name>
<author>Me</author>
<book>
<book id="2">
<name>Book 2</name>
<author>You</author>
<book>
</books>



I want to iterate through all <book> items, and inside this loop be able to write out the <name> & <author> values.



Could anyone show me how to do this in vb.net?

Regards

Read this tutorial

http://www.topxml.com/dotnet/articles/xslt/default.asp

and then you can use the following xsl:

...
<xsl:template match="//books">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="book"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="book">
    <xsl:value-of select="name"/> <xsl:value-of select="author"/>
</xsl:template>
...

.. there is such a thing as google you know.

good luck
