Read xml file into list with C#

      1.Create an xml file in below format

  xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

   <ArrayOfProduct>

     <Product>

       <Id>1</Id>

       <Name>product 1</Name>

       <Price>20000</Price>

     </Product>

     <Product>

       <Id>2</Id>

       <Name>product 2</Name>

       <Price>15000</Price>

     </Product>

   </ArrayOfProduct>

      2.Create a property class for the xml file

public class Product

       {

              public int Id { get; set; }

              public string Name { get; set; }

              public float Price { get; set; }

}

3. Include these namespaces

using System.Xml.Serialization;

using System.IO;     

4.       Read xml to list

List<Product> lstProduct;

//Datas/Product.xml is the relative path of xml file.

string folderPath = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Datas/Product.xml"); 

       XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<Product>));

       using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(folderPath, FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Read))

       {

     //Deserialize to Product list.

            lstProduct = (List<Product>)serializer.Deserialize(fs);

       }

//lstProduct contains the result.

5.   Read Xml as a generic method

 /// 

        /// Read the xml to list.

        /// 

        /// Class Name.

        /// Relative path of xml file."

        /// List of objects of specific type.

        public List ReadXml(string relativePath)

        {

            List lstResult = null;

            try

            {

                string folderPath = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(relativePath);

                XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List));

                using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(folderPath,FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))

                {

                    lstResult = (List)serializer.Deserialize(fs);

                }

            }

            catch (Exception ex)

            {

            }

            return lstResult;

}


           6.     Call the generic method

       //Read Product.xml to list of products.

List<Product> lstProduct = ReadXml<Product>("~/Datas/Product.xml");

Use MVC Html.BeginForm with GET method and action parameter

@using (Html.BeginForm("Details", "Home", new { name = Model.Name }, 
                        FormMethod.Get, new { name = "foo_bar" }))

HomeController inherit from BaseController, but didn't run a function in BaseController

I try make internationalization using this tutorial, the problem is that the basecontroller is not execute.

public class BaseController : Controller
    {
        protected override void ExecuteCore()
        {
           ........

            base.ExecuteCore();

        }

    }

 public class HomeController : BaseController

    {
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
           ...
            return View();
        }
}

Solved : Google Map API Get the error - Cannot read property 'value' of null

I have the following JavaScript file, if I comment the file, there will be no error.

Google Map API Get the error - Cannot read property 'value' of null

I got the following error from the JavaScript:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'value' of null
http://localhost:51654:11

In the _layout.cshtml page 

head
....
JavaScript link :maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&libraries=places
...
head

If I add the following code in the view page, no error in the page

   maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false
I cannot figure out what is the wrong?

Learning Angular 1 month

In the website thegospelevent.com, I created google maps by using JQuery, the problem is: In the detail page, the google map did not show "Zoom toolbar", when I refreshed several times, the "Zoom toolbar" will show. so I am using Angularjs, it works like charm.

 *Notes:
 angular.element(document).ready(function () {
    angular.bootstrap($("#appElement"), ['myApp']);
        //// appElement is the html element on which you define ng-app, myApp is the name of the app
 });

 For jquery :
       $(document).ready(function (){ });
