Read XML File in DataTable and Bind to DataList In Asp.Net Using C#.Net

8/06/2015 - By Pranav Singh 0

This article will show you how you can read XML file data into datatable and bind the data into datalist control and display vertically in asp.net using c#.net.


So for this article first we will create a new asp.net application and add an XML file for data.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<students>
  <student>
    <id>1</id>
    <name>Student 1</name>
    <address>Address 1</address>
  </student>
  <student>
    <id>2</id>
    <name>Student 2</name>
    <address>Address 2</address>
  </student>
  <student>
    <id>1</id>
    <name>Student 3</name>
    <address>Address 3</address>
  </student>
  <student>
    <id>1</id>
    <name>Student 4</name>
    <address>Address 4</address>
  </student>
</students>

Now we will add a button control and a datalist control on page.

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication2.WebForm1" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title>Read XML File in DataTable and Bind to DataList  In Asp.Net Using C#.Net
    </title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Click To Read XML" OnClick="Button1_Click" />
    </div>
    <asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#3366CC"
        BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="4" GridLines="Both">
        <ItemStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="#003399" />
        <ItemTemplate>
            Id :
            <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("id") %>'></asp:Label><br />
            Name :
            <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("name") %>'></asp:Label><br />
            Address :
            <asp:Label ID="Label3" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("address") %>'></asp:Label>
        </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:DataList>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

I have already bind the datalist control with data. Now add the below code into the page.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data;

namespace WebApplication2
{
    public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            DataTable objDataTable = new DataTable();
            string filepathe = @"XMLFile\XMLFile1.xml";
            objDataTable = ReadXMLFile(filepathe);
            DataList1.DataSource = objDataTable;
            DataList1.DataBind();
        }
        /// <summary>
        /// Function to read xml data in datatable
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="filePath"></param>
        /// <returns></returns>
        private DataTable ReadXMLFile(string filePath)
        {
            DataSet objds = new DataSet();
            objds.ReadXml(Server.MapPath(filePath));
            return objds.Tables[0];
        }
    }
}

In above code I have read the code and xml file first and t then bind It to datalist. Now we have done run the code to output.
