Error loading an XML file into XMLDocument

[anuanusha29]

Hi, I have pasted the xml file below. When I try to load this xmlfile into an instance of xml document, it gives "Root element missing ".
I tried to check the well formedness and xpath queries in xmlspy and things looked fine to me.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Tasks>
<Task Name="My Task" Prime="2" Description="So me name">
<Server>SMSPAP1 171M:8080</Server>
<Server>SMSPAP1 171M:8180</Server>
</Task>
</Tasks>

Please tell whats wrong with this xml file.
Additionally, when I need to add a new task from the UI, how to I add it as the last element(I need to keep the all the existing ones and add this new task at the end of the file before </Tasks>) using xml writer?????

I believe you need to make the Task Name line a single entity node.(correct term?) Try:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Tasks>
<Task Name="My Task" Prime="2" Description="So me name" />
<Server>SMSPAP1 171M:8080</Server>
<Server>SMSPAP1 171M:8180</Server>
</Tasks>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Tasks>
<Task Name="My Task" Prime="2" Description="So me name">
<Server>SMSPAP1 171M:8080</Server>
<Server>SMSPAP1 171M:8180</Server>
</Task>
</Tasks>

But then, Task is supposed to be an element with those attaributes(Nam e, prime, description) and child nodes Server, occurance unbounded.
