Title: PackageContents.xml: problem with register of attribute/element names
Post by: Andrey Bushman on November 23, 2012, 04:07:27 AM
I use LINQ to XML for working with PackageContents.xml file, created by Autodesk company. Company has defined the structure of this XML file here (http://exchange.autodesk.com/autocad/enu/online-help/ACD/2012/ENU/pages/WS1a9193826455f5ff-4fe3487312ce8a8dba5-7feb.htm), but without XSD schema.
I have a problem: This company breaks his the rules... Often registers of elements and attributes is invalid. For example, instead of the "URL" attribute the "Url" attribute can be defined (different registers) - look the PackageContents.xml of FusionPlugin2013.bundle.
But register is important for XML (http://msdn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/ms256152.aspx):
Quote from: MSDN
Like element names, attribute names are case-sensitive and must start with a letter or underscore.
The "URL" is not equals "Url" - such attribute will not found. Can I solve this problem through LINQ to XML (or other), or I can't?
P.S. I have a hope, official documentation contains the invalid element\attribute names.... It is "better", than a register independent variant...

If it is not mistakes in official documentation, and Autodesk really used case-independent XML parser, then I will must use such code in many places:
