VB.NET read a large file in chunks

[alexander1113]

Hi,
I'm trying to create a function in VB.NEt. What it does is it reads a large XML file in chunks to parse out each xml statement one by one. So that it will read the first chunk and see if that chunk contains the whole xml statement. If it doesn't it reads the next chunk and look for the ending xml tag </xml>. Once it does, it will write the xml statement and have a record of the file pointer of where it found the closing xml tag. Any ideas?

Take a look at the XMLTextReader class which should do it all for you. All you have to do is persist the nodes you want in some way.
