We will use Linq on Xml file so you have to add the following librairies to your projet :
using System.Xml.Linq;
using Windows.Data.Xml.Dom;
using Windows.Storage;
Add a folder named 'Data' for exemple into you Windows Store solution and add the following Xml content into the file 'Schools.xml':
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<school>
<name>IUT Toulouse</name>
<type>Public</type>
<location>
<X>45.1</X>
<Y>32.5</Y>
</location>
</school>
And into a EventHandler or in the Page_Load for example add the folowing code :
Windows.Storage.StorageFolder storageFolder =await Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation.GetFolderAsync("Data"); StorageFile storageFile =await storageFolder.GetFileAsync("Schools.xml"); IAsyncOperation<IRandomAccessStream> stream = await storageFile.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.Read); XmlDocument xmlDoc = await XmlDocument.LoadFromFileAsync(storageFile); XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(xmlDoc.GetXml()); string name = from schools in doc.Descendants("name") select schools.Value;string type = from schools in doc.Descendants("type") select schools.Value;
At the end of the code the variables name and type contains the value retrieve in the xml file.
