i'm working on a windows application that will edit and create xml files from
another application. the original file is 83k, the one created by my vb.net
program is 153k but all i add is a new xmlelement when i use the other
program and add a xmlelement is only increased the file to 85k. how come my
application increased 70k in size and also added the <?xml version="1.0"?>
when i didn't tell it to.
how do i duplicated a xml file and only add the xml element that i want to
insert. where did the extra 70k come from.
thanks
here is my code:
Dim newEvtEnrollElem As XmlElement = Nothing
Dim str1, str2 As String
str1 = strPath.Substring(0, strPath.LastIndexOf("."))
str2 = str1.ToString.Remove(0, 42)
newEvtEnrollElem =
CType(xDoc.SelectSingleNode("AutomationControl/EventEnrollments"), XmlElement)
str1 = strPath.Substring(0, strPath.LastIndexOf("."))
str2 = str1.ToString.Remove(0, 42)
