RE: [xml-dev] merge 2 xml file in c#

I think that what you wrote will do append and this is not what I need

Try this XQuery in Saxon:

<wrapper>{collection('file:///c:/specific/directory/?select=*.xml;recurse=no')/*/*}</wrapper>

and execute it from C# like this:

String q = "

<wrapper>{collection('file:///c:/specific/directory/?select=*.xml;recurse=no')/*/*}</wrapper>"

        Processor processor = new Processor();
        XQueryCompiler compiler = processor.NewXQueryCompiler();
        XQueryExecutable exp = compiler.Compile(q);
        XQueryEvaluator eval = exp.Load();
        Serializer qout = new Serializer();
        qout.SetOutputStream(new FileStream("testoutput.xml", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write));
        eval.Run(qout);

10x

I do not know XSLT I will try to Google it

Basically I need to take all the xml files from a specific directory and build 1 xml file

Can you help me to write the program with xslt and c#?

I used dataset before but when I used the merge function the created result was not as I wanted it

You've left out some start tags, but I assume that's irrelevant.

Why would you want to program such a simple task in a low-level language?

It's dead easy in XSLT:

<ResultsCollection xsl:version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:copy-of select="document('a.xml')/*/*"/>

<xsl:copy-of select="document('b.xml')/*/*"/>

</ResultsCollection>

or in XQuery

<ResultsCollection>{

   doc('a.xml')/*/*,

   doc('b.xml')/*/*

}</ResultsCollection>

and there are plenty of XSLT or XQuery processors you can invoke from your C# code.
