DataStoreDataExtensions.ImportXml(this IDataStoreBase dataStore, string text, DwBuffer dwbuffer, int startRow, int endRow, int startColumn, int endColumn) Method

.NET Standard 2.x

Inserts data from an XML string into the specified buffer of DataStore. You can specify the starting and ending positions in the XML array, and you can specify the number of the first key value and the number of the last key value in the XML object to be imported. Data that are out of this range will not be imported into the DataStore.

Namespace: DWNet.Data

Assembly: DWNet.Data.dll

Syntax

   public static int ImportXml(this IDataStoreBase dataStore, string text, DwBuffer dwbuffer, int startRow, int endRow, int startColumn, int endColumn);

Parameters

text System.String

A string specifying the XML data.

The XML string must comply with the plain-format XML or DataWindow XML.

dwbuffer DWNet.Data.DwBuffer

The specified buffer of the DataStore.

A value of the DwBuffer enumerated datatype identifying the DataWindow buffer into which you want to import the data.

For plain-format XML: Imports the XML data to the specified buffer.

For DataWindow XML: Imports data from the specified buffer from the XML string to the corresponding buffer.

startRow System.Int32

The zero-based number of the first detail object in the XML array that you want to import. If it is negative, 0 is used.

endRow System.Int32

The zero-based number of the last detail object in the XML array that you want to import. If it is negative, it indicates the rest of rows.

startColumn System.Int32

The zero-based number of the first key value in the XML object that you want to import. If it is negative, 0 is used.

endColumn System.Int32

The zero-based number of the last key value in the XML object that you want to import. If it is negative, it indicates the rest of columns.

Returns

System.Int32

Returns the number of rows that were imported if it succeeds.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to import the department records from an XML string to a DataStore using the startRow, endRow, startColumn and endColumn parameters.

using DWNet.Data;
using System;

namespace Appeon.ApiDoc.DataStoreDataExtensionsExamples
{
    public class ImportXmlExample
    {
        private readonly SchoolContext _context;

        public ImportXmlExample(SchoolContext dataContext)
        {
            // Sets the data context
            _context = dataContext;
        }

        public void Example6()
        {
            // Instantiates the datastore with datawindow: d_department2
            var datastore = new DataStore("d_department2", _context);
			
			// Gets the XML string to be imported.
            string importXml = GetImportXml();

            // Imports data in the first and second rows of the string to the datastore
            // Starting from the second column, imports data in columns of the XML string to the datastore
            // datastore: d_department2 has no departmentid column
            datastore.ImportXml(importXml, DwBuffer.Primary, 0, 1, 1, 4);

            Console.WriteLine("Rowcount: {0}", datastore.RowCount);

            for (int row = 0, rowcount = datastore.RowCount; row < rowcount; row++)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Name: {0}; Budget: {1}",
                                  datastore.GetItem<string>(row, "name"),
                                  datastore.GetItem<decimal>(row, "budget"));
            }

            /*This code produces the following output:

            Rowcount: 2
            Name: Engineering; Budget: 220000.0000
            Name: English; Budget: 120000.0000
           */
        }
    }
