I wrote a method to find a Contact name in an XML file. the method works fine if there are only 2 names in the xml, anymore than 2 and the method does not seem to work. please take a look at the code and let me know if this is the correct way to do this.
thank you for any help

public bool FindContact(string contactName) { Boolean found = false; contactFound.Clear(); if (!File.Exists(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "\\Assets\\XML\\Contacts.xml")) { found = false; } else { XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument(); xDoc.Load(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "\\Assets\\XML\\Contacts.xml"); XmlNodeList nodeList = xDoc.SelectNodes("Contacts/Contact"); foreach (XmlNode xNode in nodeList) { string checkName = xNode["ContactName"].InnerText.ToLower(); if (checkName.Trim().ToLower().Contains(contactName.Trim().ToLower())) { //System.Windows.MessageBox.Show(checkName.ToLower()); string id = xNode["ID"].InnerText; string regName = xNode["ContactName"].InnerText; string phone = xNode["Phone"].InnerText; string email = xNode["Email"].InnerText; string birthday = xNode["Birthday"].InnerText; string address = xNode["Address"].InnerText; string city = xNode["City"].InnerText; string state = xNode["State"].InnerText; string zip = xNode["Zip"].InnerText; string imageUrl = xNode["ImageUrl"].InnerText; ContactProperty.Name = regName; ContactProperty.ID = id; ContactProperty.Phone = phone; ContactProperty.Email = email; ContactProperty.Birthday = birthday; ContactProperty.Address = address; ContactProperty.City = city; ContactProperty.State = state; ContactProperty.Zip = zip; ContactProperty.ImageUrl = imageUrl; contactFound.Add(checkName); found = true; } else { found = false; } } } return found; }
