Message Read from XML

In this post I will show how to read and show message from XML file.

First we will create an XML file in which we will put all the messages.

<main>

  <Validation>

    <label id="REQUSERNAME" text="Username is Required"/>

    <label id="REQPASSWORD" text="Password is Required"/>  

  </Validation>

</main>

Now add the following create class Messages in your project

using System.Xml;

using System.Web.Hosting;

/// <summary>

    /// To Read Error Message from XML file

    /// </summary>

    public class Messages

    {

        #region Properties

        public List<Message> ListMessage { get; set; }

        #endregion

        #region Method

        /// <summary>

        /// Get List of Message for Perticular Module

        /// </summary>

        /// <param name="ModuleName"></param>

        /// <returns>List of Message</returns>

        public string GetMessage(string ModuleName, string MessageId)

        {

            try

            {

                XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument();

                ListMessage = new List<Message>();

                xml.Load(HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/Common/Message.xml"));

                XmlNodeList xmlList = xml.SelectNodes("/main/" + ModuleName + "/label");

                foreach (XmlNode lable in xmlList)

                {

                    Message objMessage = new Message();

                    objMessage.ID = lable.Attributes["id"].Value;

                    objMessage.MessageString = lable.Attributes["text"].Value;

                    ListMessage.Add(objMessage);

                }

                string Message = ListMessage.SingleOrDefault(t => t.ID == MessageId).MessageString;

                return Message;

            }

            catch (Exception ex)

            {

                throw ex;

            }

        }

        #endregion

    }

    /// <summary>

    /// To Get List of Message in ID and Message Structure.

    /// </summary>

    public class Message

    {

        public string ID { get; set; }

        public string MessageString { get; set; }

    }

Now create the object of the class in code behind page and call which message you like to fetch.

Messages msg = new Messages();

rqUserName.ErrorMessage = msg.GetMessage("Validation", "REQUSERNAME");

rqPassword.ErrorMessage = msg.GetMessage("Validation", "REQPASSWORD");

if you have any doubt put comment...
