write xml problem - puts new items in wrong place

[saroyal]

I have read the following xml file into a dataset:

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot; ?>
<listsource xmlns=&quot;

http://tempuri.org/listsource.xsd&quot;>

<listcount>3</listcount>
<lastUpdated>2004-02-18</lastUpdated>
<listitems>
<item itemID=&quot;1&quot; name=&quot;item 1&quot;></item>
<item itemID=&quot;2&quot; name=&quot;item 2&quot;></item>
<item itemID=&quot;3&quot; name=&quot;item 3&quot;></item>
</listitems>
</listsource>

Then in the dataset I have added a new row and also gone through the rows to check it is there. My problem is writing this data back to an xml file. I thought I could just use the dataset.WriteXml method but my xml file turns out like this:

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot; ?>
<listsource xmlns=&quot;

http://tempuri.org/listsource.xsd&quot;>

<listcount>3</listcount>
<lastUpdated>2004-02-18</lastUpdated>
<listitems>
<item itemID=&quot;1&quot; name=&quot;item 1&quot;></item>
<item itemID=&quot;2&quot; name=&quot;item 2&quot;></item>
<item itemID=&quot;3&quot; name=&quot;item 3&quot;></item>
</listitems>
</listsource>
<item itemID=&quot;4&quot; name=&quot;new item 4&quot;></item>

Can I get the new item in the correct place or would I manually have to write the xml writing each element out to make sure it does it correctly?

Thanks

sounds like your xsd file is properly set up. Check to make sure the dataset schema (xsd) is formatted the way you want it.

It was my first real decnt go at using XML and indeed it was the XSD file. After defining a table relationship or so I finally got it to run correctly.

Thanks
