I have some code that I am modifying. I have a dataset and I am trying to
write the XML declaration . Here is what I am doing:

System.Xml.XmlTextWriter writer = new
System.Xml.XmlTextWrite(dlg.FileName,Encoding.UTF8);
writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
//writer.WriteRaw("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>");
writer.WriteStartDocument();
objPtMasterListDataSet.WriteXml(writer);
writer.WriteEndDocument();

The problem is I only get part of the XML declaration. Here is what I get:

="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

The next tag that is in my file is the name of the table, which I can't seem
to get it to not print. Can anyone possible tell me what is wrong?

Thanks

Here is an example of my xml file that gets created:

="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<MyListDS>
<HEADER>
<VERSION>1</VERSION>
<TYPE>MASTER_LIST</TYPE>
<APPID />
<COMMENT />
<DESCRIPTION />
</HEADER>
<DATA>
</DATA>

For some reason the xml declaration has been cut off and should be
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

Also the tag below the declaration is the name of the dataset. Does anyone
know if there is a problem with the WriteStartDocument()? How do you keep
the dataset name from being put in the output?

Michael,

Doing only

ds.WriteXML(pathnameString);

Is enough to write a dataset.
(And when you want the schema as well in it, use than)

ds.WriteXML(pathnameString,XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema);

I hope this helps?

Thanks for the reply. I tried what you said, but I to not need the schema
included in the XML file.

I screwed up my subject. My question is about the WriteStartDocument
function. The XML declaration is being truncated for some reason and the
Dataset name is being dumped out as a tag also. I do not want the table name
to be included.

At a loss as to why the output is messed up.
