Converting an object into an XmlNode

[Hari Menon]

Hi,

Is there a clean way to build up an XML Node from an
object?

What I am presently doing to create the node is:
1. Create a StringWriter and then use XmlSerializer to
serialize the object into that StringWriter.
2. Create a new XmlDocument called tempDoc and call
tempDoc.LoadXml(stringWriter.ToString())
3. Create an XmlNode by calling myDoc.ImportNode
(tempDoc.LastChild, true)

Then I call AppendChild() to add this new node into the
correct position in myDoc.

Is there a cleaner way to do this? For example, is there
an XmlNodeWriter or equivalent?

Thanks
Hari

Sure. Have you tried to google for "XmlNodeWriter"?

I did do the search and had found that the XmlNodeWriter
is not a supported class from Microsoft. There's an impl
in gotdotnet.

There are also some other implementations floating around.

Does this mean that the only clean way of doing this is
to write my own impl (or copy over an existing one) of
XmlNodeWriter????

What's wrong with using XmlNodeWriter from gotdotnet? It's been
developed by Microsoft XML architect actually and proven to be stable
and robust.
