Found and Displayed specific nodes but how can I edit it

[vbMarkO]

I am a Pastor and I am writing a Church membership addressbook using xml as my database....

 

What I have at the moment is this...

 

I have a Datagridview of which I can read and edit and save back to the xml file.

 

However, I am not really a fan of the DataGrid view at least for my address book.

 

So, I have created a form that has Labels and textboxes on it of which I can display the specifc members names and any data related to them within these textboxes.

 

But what I havent found via online or here yet is how I might edit that information displayed in the textboxes and save it back to my xml file like I can in the datagridview.

 

Here is an example of my xml file structure...

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<ChurchMembership>
  <Members>
      <Mem_T>1</Mem_T>
      <Name> Smith, John</Name>
      <Email>me@me.com</Email>
  </Members>
  <Members>
      <Mem_T>2</Mem_T>
      <Name> Doe, John</Name>
      <Email>You@me.com</Email>
  </Members>
</ChurchMembership>

 

This is an example of the simular structure of my actual xml file though the names were changed to protect the innocent.... hehe anyone just hear Dragnet music..

 

Anyway, I can Parse my xml file which contains 50 or so names instead of just 2 as above... and display them in textboxes and labels for some of the info.

 

Using my DataGrid I can add new Tables and fields or edit any fields as seen above.... such as name or email and and such like.

 

But How can I edit the xml file with the textboxes instead of the DataGrid?

 

Here is a code example of how I am getting the info to textboxes....

 

 

Sub DisplayMember(ByVal Posistion As Integer)
       Dim node As XmlNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode( _
         "/ChurchMemberShip/Members[" & Posistion & "]")
       Dim intRN As Integer = node.SelectSingleNode("Mem_T").InnerText
       Dim strName As String = node.SelectSingleNode("Name").InnerText
       'Dim strLname As String = node.SelectSingleNode("Last_Name").InnerText
       'Dim strFname As String = node.SelectSingleNode("First_Name").InnerText
       Dim strPhone As String = node.SelectSingleNode("Phone").InnerText
       Dim strAddress As String = node.SelectSingleNode("Address").InnerText
       Dim strCity As String = node.SelectSingleNode("City").InnerText
       Dim strState As String = node.SelectSingleNode("State").InnerText
       Dim strZip As String = node.SelectSingleNode("Zip").InnerText
       Dim strVisit As String = node.SelectSingleNode("Visit_Dates").InnerText
       Dim strNotes As String = node.SelectSingleNode("Notes").InnerText



       lblName.Text = strName
       lblPhone.Text = strPhone
       txtName.Text = strName
       'txtLastName.Text = strLname
       'txtFirstName.Text = strFname
       txtPhone.Text = strPhone
       txtAddress.Text = strAddress
       cboCity.Text = strCity
       txtState.Text = strState
       txtZip.Text = strZip
       If Not (strVisit Is Nothing) Then

           lstDates.Items.Add(strVisit)
       End If
       txtNote.Text = strNotes
       lblRNum.Text = intRN

       

   End Sub
   Private Sub lstNames_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lstNames.SelectedIndexChanged
       lstDates.Items.Clear()
       DisplayMember(lstNames.SelectedIndex + 1)
   End Sub

 

 

This adds all the names to a listbox of which as I am using arrow keys to move up and down the list it automatically adds the info from the xml file to the textboxes and labels....

 

 

But this brings me to why I started this thread.... How can I create an edit button that would allow me to update.... using the textboxes not the datagridview?

 

 

I have searched all over and have not found an example that would deal with a singlenode using a textbox and then update the existing xml file...

 

 

PLease help

RESOLVED

 

 

I figured out how to edit the displayed data that is within the Textboxes. It was in fact quite easy well... once I figured it out, finding out was long and tiresome.
