I am very new to Xmlstreamreader, Please bear with me
I am getting a error as " C2039: 'readnext' : is not a member of 'QXmlStreamReader'

I edited the code in the text editor. So be careful with the spelling.

xmlReader->readNext();

Ah there's sytax error, trying real hard to find it out. I'm getting:
" error: C2181: illegal else without matching if"
on line:
else if(xmlreader.isEndElement()). any idea why?

jsulm

Probably } before else if(xmlreader.isEndElement()) is missing

We cannot just say if the tag is read or not. it requires careful observations.
Best way is to right the read tags back to .xml file to check if it really read or not .

Thanks a ton! i think i am near to solving the problem, i have edited the program. You can see what exactly i am doing. I choosing a xml file from a dropdown. and QT parse that XML file. Now when i choose an xml file. Whole program gets stuck.

Thanks alot! still can't figure out why does my gui hangs.
Can you please tell me what does String holds in:
"QString name=xmlreader.readElementText(); // found"

I had a debug there to check, unfortunately my gui is hanging

Did you try the test code?
QString name holds the name john
Download this zip file. Build your project and browse for the XML.xml file to find the matched name .
