I use the recogination application for recognizing mouse.net mouse gestures, which saves the file in the format above xml. I need help converting the above xml to CSV format, so I can do machine learning using dynamic time conversion. I cannot figure out how to convert to a CSV file. e.g. 261.210.261.214.261.229.261.231

using System.IO;
using System.Xml.Serialization;

You can do the following:

public class Sequence
{
    public Point[] SourcePath { get; set; }
}

using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"D:\youXMLFile.xml", FileMode.Open))
{
    XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Sequence[]));
    var data=(Sequence[]) serializer.Deserialize(fs);
    List<string> list = new List<string>();
    foreach(var item in data)
    {
        List<string> ss = new List<string>();
        foreach (var point in item.SourcePath) ss.Add(point.X + "," + point.Y);
        list.Add(string.Join(",", ss));
    }
    File.WriteAllLines("D:\\csvFile.csv", list);
}

Just create a CSV XML file, use System.IO and make sure the file looks like

fileName = Name + ".csv"

Read and find something like this

Path.GetTempPath(), fileName
