How to convert an xml file to a dictionary<string , int>

[ALhassen]

Hi all!

I would like to read the nodes in a (big file)xml file via xmlReader and store it to a dictionary, than, I need to check the repetitive nodes and count its number in the xml file one by one, like this:

Let's say we have this xml file:

<root>

<bookstore>

<book>

<title>CSharp<title/>

<Author>Brini AL<Author/>

<Subjet>XML To XSLT<Subject/>

<book/>

<book>

<title>PHP<title/>

<Author>Brini AL<Author/>

<Subjet>XML To XSLT<Subject/>

<book/>

<Person>

<FirstName>AL</FirstName>

<LastName>Brini</LastName></Person>

</bookstore>

</root>

-------I would like to get the next result:

The first repetitive node is :book and its path from the root is : root/bookstore/book and we count 2 nodes

than the second repetitive node is Person and its path is : root/bookstore/ book and we count 1 node

Any help, please? I am a beginner

Thank you in advance.

I try this code:

int nbr = 1;
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(txtXml.Text);
Dictionary<string, int> nodes = new Dictionary<string, int>();
while (reader.Read())
{
nodes.Add(reader.Name, nbr);
reader.MoveToContent();
if ((reader.NodeType==XmlNodeType.EndElement) ||(reader.NodeType != XmlNodeType.Element) || (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Text))
{
reader.Skip();
reader.MoveToContent();

}
MessageBox.Show(reader.Name);//Just for test

}
