I am very new to this. Hope someone could help me suggest how to improve the code.
I have two tables where I need to get the SQL data and output it into XML format. I am using LINQ method. Below how the code looks like.
#region Database XML Methods
private static void CreateDatabaseXml(string path)
{
tbchrDataContext db = new tbchrDataContext();
XDocument doc = new XDocument(
// XML Declaration
new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", "yes"),
// XML Root element to 3rd in nest
new XElement(ns + "WMS",
new XElement(ns + "Order",
new XElement(ns + "Header", from a in db.T_ORDER_DETAILs
select new XElement(ns + "RARefNum", a.RARefNum),
new XElement (ns + "WMSCategory", from b in db.T_ORDER_HEADERs select b.Customer),
new XElement (ns + "CustomerID", from a in db.T_ORDER_DETAILs select a.SupplierName)))) );
#endregion
doc.Save(path);
}
And below how is the output of XML looks like.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<WMS xmlns="http://blog.cripperz.sg">
<Order>
<Header>
<RARefNum>RASO000001</RARefNum>
<RARefNum>RASO000001</RARefNum>
<WMSCategory>ESSVMI</WMSCategory>
<CustomerID>nVidianVidia</CustomerID>
</Header>
</Order>
</WMS>
Ultimately I wanted to achieve the below XML, some of the data grab from SQL is from two separate tables in one XML nest / element.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WMS>
<Order>
<Header>
<RARefNum>RASO000001</RARefNum>
<WMSCategory>ESSVMI</WMSCategory>
<CustomerID>nVidia</CustomerID>

Is there a better way to code it?
