Hello,

I have been getting object reference not set to an instance error when trying to print out a specific tag value of an xml file. I have tried this same code (except the string on the ‘Write Line’ activity of course since it is specific to this xml) on another xml file and it works so I am just trying to figure out why it doesn’t on this xml, maybe I am getting the tag (string in the ‘Write Line’ activity) wrong? the error is thrown at the write line activity. I have attached a screenshot of the code and a snippet of the xml data below

you will need to handle the XML Namespaces as described here:

Do I need to append the namespace variable I create whenever I want to refer to a tag as in:

xmlDeserialized.Element(xmlNameSpace +“TXLife”).ToString() instead of just xmlDeserialized.Element(“TXLife”).ToString()

And does this apply to only certain kind of XMLs b/c it was working on another xml file without the namespace

@anan.deneke
we recommend to reread the shared link

Especially within the first part we do the analysis of the involved namespaces

YourXDocVar.Root.Name was used for this
Similar we checked for children
YourXDocVar.Root.Descendants()(YourCheckIndex).Name

Sure, when XML does not define a Namespace we dont have to handle
