Reading and writing an XML file

[Marco Rispoli]

Hello folks!

I have to read an XML file, add some elements and write it back.

I seem to have no problem doing the first 2 things but then I get

The process cannot access the file "c:/file.xml" because it is being used by
another process.

... when I try to do the third thing: saving.

This is how I am doing it:

XmlDocument oXml=new XmlDocument();
oXml.Load(new XmlTextReader(@"c:\file.xml"));

// do the element work here

oXml.Save(new XmlTextWriter(@"c:\file.xml", System.Text.Encoding.ASCII));

The error occurs right at the Save call.

Any of you more experienced folks ever tried to do anything like this?

Thanks!

You have to explicitly call Close on the XmlTextReader before trying to
create the XmlTextWriter.
