Problem with XmlTextWriter

[tonyz.wrightz]

Hi,

I am currently trying to output my environment variables to a file in
XML. It's currently failing with an InvalidOperationException when it
executes the xw.WriteStartElement("Variable") for the second time. The
exception details are: "Token StartElement in state Epilog would result
in an invalid XML document."

I'm sure it's something obvious. What am I missing?

Regards,
Tony

XmlTextWriter xw = new
XmlTextWriter(@"C:\test.xml",Encoding.UTF8);
xw.WriteStartDocument();
foreach (DictionaryEntry de in
Environment.GetEnvironmentVariables())
{
xw.WriteStartElement("Variable");
xw.WriteAttributeString("Key", de.Key.ToString());
xw.WriteAttributeString("Value", de.Value.ToString());
xw.WriteEndElement();
}
xw.WriteEndDocument();
xw.Flush();
xw.Close();

oops, I forgot the root element. Sorry. I plead temporary insanity.
