[Gambas-user] gb.xml "unSerialize"

[Adrien Prokopowicz]

I just added the new static method XMLNode.Deserialize() in revision #5906  
for this purpose. For example,

Print XMLNode.Deserialize("Select * From mytable Where id < 10")

Will print : Select * From mytable Where id < 10

Caveat : If you use the FromText() method, you don't actually need to put  
your text in any element. Text nodes are nodes too. :)

Just be careful not to give an empty string, otherwise FromText() will  
give you back an empty array, and accessing myNoddies[0] will raise an  
"Out of bounds" error !

Fabien : the "short way" of doing this would actually be :

Print XMLElement.FromText("text")[0].TextContent (again, while ensuring  
that the given text is not empty).
FromText() returns an array of nodes. :)
