OK, the old thread got locked so I have to make a new one.

I just wanted to know if there is a way to return the line number of an XML element.

Suppose there is an error in the XML at a certain element; how could I figure out this line number if it possible for XML to contain identical element data?

Hmm, the short answer is: No!

The XML engine reads the entire XML file and stores the elements in a list. So you do not have access to the 'XML Source' and appropriate error handling is missing.

The engine is designed for standard XML files. So I recommend to use a good editor to finds the error when editing or saving.

I use Microsoft's XML Notepad. It is a free tool.

OK, don't worry; I'll add name attributes to the elements so sources of errors can be found.

I use the Visual Studio XML designer with XML schema; but it is not always me who will be creating these XML files; third parties can create MODs for my game.

Thanks
