Hello,
I need to read XML as a data file. In Ranorex, is it possible to read the xml file with some built-in class just like CSVConnector?
Alternately, I can treat the entire xml content as a column in a data file and read it but unfortunately I cannot use CSVConnector because commas are used in the XML content. Can we choose any other character instead of comma to parse the values?

Thanks
Kirant

I would suggest you to use the following documentation
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307548 and write you own XMLReader.

Hi Peter,
Alternatively, is it possible to put the data in the database and read from there? Does Ranorex have an in-built class just like CSVConnector to support database driven testing?

Thanks

Kirant, you do realize that anything you can write in C# or VB.NET (and a few other languages) you can do in Ranorex...

Use google to search how to read and write data from your DB of choice. Put that code into your automation code. And there you go...
