Hi All
I have loaded an Xml file as a DOM called myPlayersDOM. I now want to add a new player to the Xml file. I have used this code.

VB

Private Sub Players_List_Update(curComboItem As String, curTeleNo As String)
        MsgBox("Adding Player to file")
        Dim newPlayer As Xml.XmlElement = myPlayersDOM.CreateElement("Player")
        Dim newName As Xml.XmlElement = myPlayersDOM.CreateElement("Name")
        newName.InnerText = curComboItem
        newPlayer.AppendChild(newName)
        Dim NewTele As Xml.XmlElement = myPlayersDOM.CreateElement("TeleNo")
        NewTele.InnerText = curTeleNo
        newPlayer.AppendChild(NewTele)
        myPlayersDOM.DocumentElement.AppendChild(newPlayer)
        Dim tr As XmlTextWriter = New XmlTextWriter("D:\My Documents on D\Visual Studio Projects\Match Management Application\Players.xml", Nothing)
        tr.Formatting = Xml.Formatting.Indented
        myPlayersDOM.WriteContentTo(tr)
        tr.Close()
    End Sub

But get this error when I try to defined 'tr'
Type 'XmlTextWriter' is not defined.
Can anyone help.
PS do not know if the code will actually work.

Thanks Dave

XmlTextWriter[^] is defined in System.Xml namespace. Did you import it? More precisely, do you have a

VB

Imports System.Xml

near the top of your .vb file?

If you do not want to import this namespace, you have to use the fully qualified name of the class to use it:

VB

Dim tr As System.Xml.XmlTextWriter = New System.Xml.XmlTextWriter("D:\My Documents on D\Visual Studio Projects\Match Management Application\Players.xml", Nothing)

Thanks
I am very new to this. I have added Imports System.Xml above the form class and all works okay.

Again thank you very much
