Splitting long XML file into smaller pieces when sending over Network

[Jenny]

Hello All!

I have a long XML file that I should transmit to other computer using http.
Problem is that the whole XML Document is too large for one
transmitting.

What is the nicest way to split XML document into smaller pieces e.g. to 10
pieces?

XML document is same kind what comes to itäs tags.

E.g.
<main1>
<sub1>text</sub1>
<sub2>text</sub2>
<sub3>text</sub3>
</main1>

<main2>
<sub1>text</sub1>
<sub2>text</sub2>
<sub3>text</sub3>
</main2>

<main3>
<sub1>text</sub1>
<sub2>text</sub2>
<sub3>text</sub3>
</main3>

continues ...

So, how could I read e.g. one main tag with it's subitems one a time?

Hallo,
This could be a difficult task to want to split an universal xml this
way and I recommend you use this approach only when you are using
single schema for all files.
In this case, I thing, it would be better consider splitting stream or
string into pieces and then at the other side merge it together simply.
In the past, i faced similar problem, but we have choosen compression
of files. Now you have even zip compression support in .NET, so this is
probably a way.
