Help with creating xml file using VB.NET

as XML is, to start with, nothing else than "plain text/string", with though some "formatting" structure to be parseable, the question is where does your data come from, and what is your actual problem?

* building the XML string
* saving the file
* fetching the data

please clarify

Hi,

I need to build the XML string in a new file and save the file. The goal is to hard code the data elements from my button click event and have the following xml file in my application's folder.

Newfile.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<DocumentElement>
  <MyDataTable>
    <LinkAID>0</LinkAID>
    <ItemA></ItemA>
    <ItemB></ItemB>
   <ItemC></ItemC>
   </MyDataTable>
</DocumentElement>

again, what EXACTLY is the problem?

How do I write the code in VB.NET to create the XML file (Newfile.xml)?

some sample code:

Private Sub writeDebug(ByVal x As String)

    Dim FILE_NAME As String ="C:\newfile.xml"

    If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = False Then
        System.IO.File.Create(FILE_NAME).Dispose()
    End If

    Dim objWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(FILE_NAME, True)
    objWriter.WriteLine(x)
    objWriter.Close()
End Sub 

Select allOpen in new window

and you call that function with the xml string as argument

Thank You.
