XmlDocument save problem

[fostom]

Hi!

I am loading an existing xml file and then save like this:
Dim xmldoc1 As XmlDocument
xmldoc1 = New XmlDocument
xmldoc1.Load(thaFile)
xmldoc1.Save(thaFile)

But when the xml file is saved some of the root element is missing, like this:

before: <?xml version="1.0"?>
after: xml version="1.0"?>

..as you see the '<?' is deleted at the start of the element. I am goin' nuts!!

Please help!!!

Tommy

Can you provide the contents of the XML file as I have tried a simple example and I am unable to replicate your problem (I don't see any difference in my file).

If you still have problems later you could try reading the
xml file in as a string and writing it out using the text writer but save it with an xml extension.

thx for quick reply.. the xml code is:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?NuDoc tsl_version="7"?>
<PF_Designer_Doc use_legacy_font_ascenders="7" line_spacing_accomodates_default_font="false" interparagraph_space_overlaps="false" pfdoc_left_right="false" use_baseline_for_fixed_line_spacing="true" composition_version="7">
<Doc_Page_Base guides_horizontal="" guides_vertical="" grid_columns="100.000000scale" grid_rows="height=shrinkwrap" bottom_margin="0" right_margin="0" top_margin="0" left_margin="1.000000pt" height="shrinkwrap" width="1420000">
</Doc_Page_Base>

That's very strange as it seems to work fine for me. Just to clarify this is my code:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Dim xmldoc1 As System.Xml.XmlDocument
xmldoc1 = New System.Xml.XmlDocument
xmldoc1.Load("C:\Inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\TestSite\XMLTest.xml")[/URL]
xmldoc1.Save("C:\Inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\TestSite\XMLTest.xml")[/URL]

End Sub

and my XMLTest.xml file looks like:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?NuDoc tsl_version="7"?>
<PF_Designer_Doc use_legacy_font_ascenders="7" line_spacing_accomodates_default_font="false" interparagraph_space_overlaps="false" pfdoc_left_right="false" use_baseline_for_fixed_line_spacing="true" composition_version="7">
  <Doc_Page_Base guides_horizontal="" guides_vertical="" grid_columns="100.000000scale" grid_rows="height=shrinkwrap" bottom_margin="0" right_margin="0" top_margin="0" left_margin="1.000000pt" height="shrinkwrap" width="1420000">
  </Doc_Page_Base>
</PF_Designer_Doc>
<!-- Pageflex Creation Data

-->

The xml code is exactly the same after running the page load...

Thank you for setting me on the right track! Seems to be a bug of some sort. I created a new aspx page with a fresh xml file, then it suddenly worked as it shold. I can't explain why.. maybe my laptop needs a restart or something..
