Creating XML Output from a DS

[Wayne Wengert]

I am using VB.NET to create an output stream in XML format. When I execute
the code below, the XML header line (<?xml version = "1.0"?>) is not
included in the output file. Is there a way to include that?

================ code =================
Dim myFileStream As New System.IO.FileStream(strFN,
System.IO.FileMode.Create)

' Write to the file with the WriteXml method.

ds1.WriteXml(myFileStream)

=================================================

What version of VB.Net are you using? I'm using Visual Studio 2003 and I'm
getting the XML header line.

I'm also specifying the actual file name rather than creating a FileStream.
My code looks more like this:
FileNameStr = "C:\MyXMLFile.xml"
ds1.WriteXML(FileNameStr)

Richard;

That was it! When I got rid of the FileStream and used the WriteXML method
directly, the header was included.

Thanks again

Glad to hear that solved your problem.

Of course, it does beg the question of why does using the FileStream results
in different output being generated. Anyone out there that knows the answer
to that one?
