Including XmlDocument fragments in an XmlTextWriter

[Gustaf]

My program is constructing a document from several fragments, which are
created on the fly using XSL transformations. I've managed to store the
output from each transformation (each fragment) in an XmlDocument
object, and I can include that in the collected document using code like
this:

w.WriteRaw(xmlDoc.DocumentElement.InnerXml)

The problem is that when I use WriteRaw(), there's no awareness of which
namespaces are already in scope at the point where the fragment is
included. The included fragments all belong to a namespace which is
declared in the root element of the result document.

I can imagine solving this by traversing the XmlDocument node by node
and adding elements using WriteStartElement(), WriteAttributeString()
and so on, but it seem like a lot of work. Is there an easier way to do
it? Perhaps storing the output from transformations as XmlDocument is
wrong in the first place? Any help on this would be much appreciated.

xmlDoc.DocumentElement.WriteTo(w);

Wow! One line code of changed, and it's all working! Thank you very much!
