Hi I try to check to see if xmlplaceholder has data in it or not when loadin
g
control but It seems to have root element w/empty data so I can't tell w/the
following method.

Please let me know if you know how to test to see if there is data in a
xmlplaceholder or not. This is how I use it...

if (((XmlPlaceholder)ph).XmlAsString.Trim() == string.Empty)
noData = true;
else
noData = false;

note: when xmlastring returns "<plink></plink>" it is not string.Emtpy so my
result gonna be noData become false even though xmlplaceholder has no data
except for root element.

Hi Andrew,

why don't you check for empty and only root element?

Cheers,
Stefan

The root element keeps changing for every time so ..can you show me the
sample code to achieve your suggestion?

Hi Andrew,

if it is sufficient to strip out all XML tags then you can use this code:

This will require that your regular XML content contains texts between the
markup.

Cheers,
Stefan
