XMLTextWriter how to write more values ?

Hi All
I have a simple question as i am a newbie in xml.
I am using XmlTextWriter to write some values to an xml file . I use
XmlTextWriter textwriter = new XmlTextWriter ("path",null );
to create the xml doc.
I want to append some values to the doc when next time my main form
loads
So I use same statement in the Form_Load
XmlTextWriter textwriter = new XmlTextWriter ("path",null );
Then the question is how can I "append" some other values instead of
overwriting the old ones ?
Thx for answers

You cannot. There are some hacky workarounds, but basically the answer
is - you cannot. XML is tree and to append to a tree you have to reparse
it. INstead of XmlWriter load XML into XmlDocument, append values and
save back.

Hello Everyone, I have written a simple app. that converts the dataset into excelspreadsheet. The App. uses the following architecture. First it generates the dataset with corresponding datatables(each datatable represents a worksheet).It uses an Xslt file to do the transformation of the xml (generate from dataset) and write the output xml into a xmltextwriter. The App converts the data into excel with almost all of the formatting

Is anyone familiar with a way to do this using XmlTextWriter or another related class? I found code...

I want to write a method that will accept a stream as a parameter, and which will write xml to the stream (based in reality on database results) using the XmlTextWriter class. However, this insists on closing my stream, and I can't convince it not to. A much-simplified example is below; basically, as soon as the writer is disposed (marked **** below) the base stream gets closed - which is a pain if I was still using it ;-p The base...
