I have a custom entity that i import various XML file data into. I need to write a workflow to deal with he data, however I need to read the xml data to determine if certain keywords are there, I suppose a simple function would be the best way, but how to read that xml data and return the position or just a Boolean / Bit
can anyone make any suggestion for me to look at ?

Hi,
You can use XDocument in custom workflow activity for XML manipulations. Linq queries can be applied on Xdocument to get the desired XML nodes to retrieve or manipulate it.
Here are some examples of Xdocument manipulations
Convert valid xml string to Xdocument
XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Parse(xml);
Find and Assign new Value
xDoc.Descendants("parenttag").Elements("childtag").Single().SetAttributeValue("Value", "22")
Hey Andrew,
Thanks for that though to be fair .. I'm still a little confused. Each of the xml files we receive has a value in the encoding which determines which type of file it is and thus I know what processing to perform.
i was hoping that there would be a simple solution to just call the field up and search for the value ie
line in xml data
?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?
could a 'query by attribute' with the 'add range value' being for instance 'ISO-8859' would that work being only a partial value within the attribute ?
Hello,
I believe XmlDocument is the way to go - stackoverflow.com/.../read-a-xml-from-a-string-and-get-some-fields-problems-reading-xml
