Using XmlDocument.Sav e removes previous formatting of the file

Hi all,
I have a nicely formatted .xml file that loses that nice formatting when
I edit it and use XmlDocument.Sav e to save the file. Does anyone know of
any way to keep the formatting I had when I opened the file?

Thanks!

Hi Aaron,

The XmlDocument.Pre serveWhitespace property is what you need. Set it to
True before Loading the XML document, and all whitespace is preserved.
Set it to True before Saving, and your whitespace will be preserved.

BTW, "XmlDocument.Sa ve" auto-indents the output which you save.

HTH,

Regards,

Cerebrus.

Hi, I'm using xmlDocument.Save(xmlTextWriter) to create an Excel-readable file. All works well, except where I've replaced the carriage return chars in the .innertext to XML-compliant " "; It gets changed to "&#10" and doesn't render new lines in the Excel sheet. Can anyone help? Many thanks,

When using XMLDocument.Save(strFileName) in .NET 2005, is there a way to check (or trap) and see if the file is in use by another. I am using VB.NET. Currently it just bombs and says the filename is in use by another. I want to check or trap for this rather than blow-up. I tried using a Try...Catch, but it bombs deep in the DOM, where I don't have control of it. Here is the Code Me.XMLDocument.Save(strFileName)

Hi, I have a test program that creates 5 threads and each thread uses XmlDocument.Save(filename) to save a Xml dom to a file.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
