Read node names in XML

[veenna]

Hi,

Using LINQ to XML how to read XML node names??

I have the Following XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<OrderDocument>
  <rows>
    <OrderDocumentRow>
        <number>1</number>
        <Cost>
          <code>11</code>
          <type>0</type>
          <isDefault>false</isDefault>
          <decimalTotal>0</decimalTotal>
        </Cost>
        <Order>
          <code>88</code>
          <type>0</type>
          <isDefault>false</isDefault>
          <decimalTotal>0</decimalTotal>
        </Order>
        <article>abc</article>
      </OrderDocumentRow>
  </rows>
</OrderDocument>

I want to get all the node names inside <OrderDocumentR ow>.
i.e.
1)number
2)Cost
3)Order
4)article etc..
How to get the node name list?

thank you,
Veena

you can use the following code

strArray = new string[arraySize];
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(your XML));
while (reader.Read())
{
  if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
  { 
    strArray[cnt] = reader.Name;
    cnt++;
  }
}
