XmlDocument not being written to

[C Sharp]

Hi Everyone,

I am using the following code to write out an XmlDocument that I have.
I create an XmlTextWriter and try to save / flush it. Earlier, I had
created an XmlElement (using xmlDoc.createElemenet("name') )

However, the xml file size is always 0. WHat could I be missing?

private void writeXMLFile()
{
XmlTextWriter x = new XmlTextWriter(XmlFileName, null);
xmlDoc.Save(x);
x.Flush();
x.Close();

return;
}

Thanks.

created an XmlElement (using xmlDoc.createElemenet("name') )

One thing that I noticed while debugging this is that when I view the
xmlDoc's Inner XML (in debugger) [via XML Visualizer] it says, "xml
document must have top level element". Does this mean that my xmlDoc
was not instantiated correctly? I had used the default constructor to
create my xmlDoc.

Thanks.

You didn't append the created element to the document. The Create* calls
create their corresponding nodes, but don't put them anywhere.
