Can't add new node into XML file

[lrehotmail]

Please forgive me, if you found I asked the same question twice. The first time was in the ASP.NET forum but there was no answer, that why I ask it again here.

I tried to add new record into the dataset, which fetch the schema from the XML file and then write back with a new record into the XML file. But the existing records are purged and the new record will be recorded in a XML file only.

Does anyone know how it works, please?

Note[/]: "id" is an attribute of the "product" element. And it can appear as an attribute for the "product" element, which I still don't understand how it works, but it works!

    Dim xmlDS = New DataSet
    xmlDS.ReadXml("d:\writeFolder\file01.xml")

    Dim newRow As DataRow
    newRow = xmlDS.Tables("products").NewRow
    newRow.Item("id") = Request("txtProduct")
    newRow.Item("product") = Request("txtProdName")
    newRow.Item("description") = Request("txtDescription")
    newRow.Item("unitPrice") = Request("txtUPrice")
    newRow.Item("inventory") = Request("txtInventory")
    newRow.Item("operator") = Request("txtOperator")

    xmlDS.Tables("products").Rows.Add(newRow)

    dgrShowXml.DataSource = xmlDS
    dgrShowXml.DataBind()

    xmlDS.WriteXml("d:\writeFolder\file01.xml")

Thanks in advance!
