Problem using xml writer

[vikas]

Hi
I want to create following xml document using xmlwriter

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <epps>
- <remit_trn type="technical">
<remit_date_dtm dtm = "201" >test</remit_date_dtm>
<rmt_payee_n1>test</rmt_payee_n1>
<rmt_payee_n1>test</rmt_payee_n1>
<rmt_ref>test</rmt_ref>
</remit_trn>
</epps>

I wrote the code to do the same but when I run the code
I am getting following exception on executing the
following line
xmlw.WriteAttributeString("dtm01" , "201");

Token StartAttribute in state Content would result in an
invalid XML document
I dont know why its not allowing me to add attribute to
remit_date_dtm element above. I am herebelow giving the
complete code which I wrote. I would really appreciate if
someone can helm me with this problem

Thanks
Vikas
CXmlWriter lclsXmlWriter = new CXmlWriter();

string filename = "c:\\clevxml.xml";
XmlTextWriter xmlw = new XmlTextWriter(filename,null);
xmlw.Formatting=Formatting.Indented;
xmlw.WriteStartDocument();
xmlw.WriteStartElement("epps");
xmlw.WriteStartElement("remit_trn");
xmlw.WriteAttributeString("type", "technical");
xmlw.WriteElementString("remit_date_dtm" ,"test");
xmlw.WriteAttributeString("dtm01" , "201");
xmlw.WriteElementString("rmt_payee_n1" ,"test");
xmlw.WriteElementString("rmt_payee_n1" ,"test");
xmlw.WriteElementString("rmt_ref","test");
xmlw.WriteEndElement();
xmlw.WriteEndElement();

Did you use the XMLWriter class in .NET framework or a component from third
party?

Here is your mistake. You cannot write attribute when element content has been
written already. It should be

xmlw.WriteStartElement("remit_date_dtm");
xmlw.WriteAttributeString("dtm01" , "201");
xmlw.WriteString("test");
xmlw.WriteEndElement();
xmlw.WriteElementString("rmt_payee_n1" ,"test");
xmlw.WriteElementString("rmt_payee_n1" ,"test");
xmlw.WriteElementString("rmt_ref","test");
xmlw.WriteEndElement();
xmlw.WriteEndElement();
