MSXML to System.Xml Conversion Code

[Brian R.]

I have some code that I am converting from VB6 to C#. The VB code used the
'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes' schema to allow the entry of strongly
typed data via the nodeTypedValue properties on MSXML elements. In System.Xml
I am seeing that nodeTypedValue ability is not present.

Is it my responsibility to manage the conversion of the types wihtout
automatic support from the .NET DOM model?

Thanks,

Hi Brian,

There is no equivalent to nodeTypedValue in System.Xml namespace. You have
to manage the conversion. If you just want to valiadate typed value with
nodeTypedValue, there is an XmlValidatingRe ader in System.Xml which is an
XmlReader that layers type information and validation over an
XmlTextReader. This has ReadTypeValue() method for reading a node as a
strongly typed XSD value. Here is a helpful article on this:
