Hi,

I am trying to replace dotnet variable by AL functions. But am not clear how to add attribute value to XML node. below is my dotnet code.

Can anyone suggest and if possible please provide some examples.

var
XMLDomDocParam : DotNet "'System.Xml, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.System.Xml.XmlDocument"
XMLDomNode : DotNet "'System.Xml, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.System.Xml.XmlNode"
XMLDomAttribute : DotNet "'System.Xml, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.System.Xml.XmlNode";
begin
XMLDomAttribute := XMLDomDocParam.CreateAttribute(AttribName);
if ISNULL(XMLDomAttribute) then
  exit(false);

if AttribValue <> '' then
   XMLDomAttribute.Value := AttribValue;
XMLDomNode.Attributes.SetNamedItem(XMLDomAttribute);
CLEAR(XMLDomAttribute);
exit(true);
end;

    You can do that by using XMLElement object. For example:

    NewNode := XmlElement.Create('Name', '', 'Stefano');
    NewNode.SetAttribute('ID', '1');

    HI Stefano,

    Thanks for the reply :)

    Actually the above code is one function and the function have a xmlnode parameter with var type.

    For that xmlnode  need the attribute.

    I have tried like below.

    XmlElement2 := ParmXMLDomNode.AsXmlElement();

    XmlElement2.SetAttribute(AttribName,AttribValue);

    ParamXMLDomNode := XmlElement2.AsXmlNode();

    Is this correct? And may i know how to save this xmldocument through AL, So that i can check it ..

    To save the XMLDocument, you can use XmlDocument.WriteTo method:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../xmldocument-writeto-outstream-method

    Something like:

    TempBlob.Blob.CreateOutStream(outStr, TextEncoding::UTF8);

    // Write the contents of the doc to the stream

    xmlDoc.WriteTo(outStr);

    // From the same blob, that now contains the xml document, create an instr

    TempBlob.Blob.CreateInStream(inStr, TextEncoding::UTF8);

    // Save the data of the InStream as a file.

    File.DownloadFromStream(inStr, 'Export', '', '', fileName);

    Good morning all....

    As far as XmlElement is concern, I have a "big" issue.

    When I XmlParentNode.AsXmlElement().Add a new child node, this does not add at the end of the parent node, it adds at the begining.

    Any suggestion?.

    Thank you ever so much in advance.
