XML File reading/updating/writing

[StevenK]

I'm looking for a simple example of using Delphi to display the contents of an XML file and allow the user to update fields (within tags) and also add new entries and delete existing ones.
Ideally I'd like the xml fields to be displayed in a grid (a TStringGrid more than likely I assume)
Can anyone point me to something like this ?
Is it possible ?

You need to use the TDomDocument type.

You will have to import the MSXML_TLB type library first.
Here's a snippet from my code:-

XMLDoc : TDomDocument;
:

XMLDoc.async:=True;

Status:=XMLDoc.load(sFile);
if (Status=False) then
raise exception.Create('Could not load the XML file');

//Get djUniqueID
NodeList := XMLDoc.getElementsByTagName('uniqueid');
ID := StrToFloat(NodeList.item[0].Get_Text);
:

I have only read the xml file, but there is probably a setElementByTabName or something.

forgot nodelist, it's declared as

NodeList : IXMLDomNodeList;
