Lexblog entities classes


We also need to create entities classes for holding data of authors, categories and blog articles as

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;


namespace XMLtoSQLInserter
{
    public class BlogClass
    {
        public class Blog
        {
            public string author { get; set; }
            public string title { get; set; }
            public DateTime date { get; set; }
            public string body { get; set; }
            public string extendedBody { get; set; }
            public string excerpt { get; set; }
            public string keywords { get; set; }
            public string Guid { get; set; }
        }

        public class BlogPrimaryCategories
        {
            public string PrimaryCategory { get; set; }
            public string Guid { get; set; }
        }

        public class BlogCategories
        {
            public string Category { get; set; }
            public string Guid { get; set; }
        }

        public class Author
        {
            public string authorEmail { get; set; }
            public string authorId { get; set; }
            public string authorLogin { get; set; }
            public string authorCategory { get; set; }
            public string authorFirstName { get; set; }
            public string authorLastName { get; set; }

Download Media from Lexblog site articles


If you didn’t get media related with LexBlog site then below scripts can download images and PDFs for you in you local environment. 

I have created windows application for downloading images, fetched XML file data and transfer it into SQL server.

You can put this code in web pages as well but I observerd that sometimes program takes long time to process the XML file. SO I decided to use windows application for this.

Here is a screenshot of my windows application.

Windows Application for LexBlog
Windows Application for LexBlog


It scans all the articles description and find the LexBlog site related links and if links matches with image, pdf extension then code tried to download the related file.

        private void ImportMedia(wordpressxml.rssChannel content)
        {
            Regex regx = new Regex("http://([\\w+?\\.\\w+])+([a-zA-Z0-9\\~\\!\\@\\#\\$\\%\\^\\&amp;\\*\\(\\)_\\-\\=\\+\\\\\\/\\?\\.\\:\\;\\'\\,]*)?", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

            var mainItems = content.item == null ? null : content.item.ToList();
            if (mainItems != null)
            {
                foreach (var itemMain in mainItems)
                {
                    if (itemMain.post_type == "post")
                    {
                        var encodedData = itemMain.encoded == string.Empty ? null : itemMain.encoded.ToString();
                        if (encodedData != null)
                        {
                            MatchCollection matches = regx.Matches(encodedData.ToString());
                            foreach (Match matchedItems in matches)
                            {
                                if (matchedItems.Value.ToLower().Contains("www." + SITENAME.ToLower() + ".com"))
                                {
                                    var extension = matchedItems.Value.ToString().Split('.').Last();
                                    if (extension == "jpg" || extension == "png" || extension == "pdf" || extension == "gif")
                                    {
                                        lblCurrentActivity.Text = "Processing - " + matchedItems.Value.ToString();
                                        SaveImage(matchedItems.Value.ToString());
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }



Migrate Lexblog Articles Data to SQL


Use the same windows application and refer below code to read blog articles from XML file as

TextReader txtReader = new StreamReader(openFileDialog1.FileName);
XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(wordpressxml.rss));
var serializeObject = (wordpressxml.rss)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(txtReader);
wordpressxml.rssChannel content = new wordpressxml.rssChannel();
content = serializeObject.channel;

ImportDataToSQL(content);

Once we get wordpress XML object, we can use below code to read its basic details, authors, categories, tags, terms and its articles. The same code will insert all this data in SQL server tables. 

private void ImportDataToSQL(wordpressxml.rssChannel content)
        {
            var connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DBCS"].ConnectionString;
            SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
