How update xml file based on values selected from a data grid?

Subject:  How update xml file based on values selected from a data grid?

Hello,

I’m using the code in below (Section A) to update data in my “link.xml” using a combo box with my grid control, the problem is I can’t figure out how to save the data modified to the xml file, below (Section B) is the code I use to save new data to the xml file, can you please help me modify the code in section B to only save the rows modified?

Thanks,

Victor
