Make an xml file writeable

[jaleel]

In a windows application I have an xml file which is readable and writeable. I wnat to ensure that this file is writeable if it is set to read-only.



I am doing my work using the code:

Dim afpXmlDocumnet As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument
afpXmlDocumnet.Load(filename)

'reading some nodes
............................

'writing to some node
............................

'saving the file
afpXmlDocumnet.Save(appPath)

the code at line number 11 throws an exception when file is read-only. What should I do to avoid this ? How to make it writeable? Any help...

Hi

I tried with this piece of code before writing to the file :

Dim fileInformation As New FileInfo(filena me)
If fileInformation .IsReadOnly Then
fileInformation .Attributes = FileAttributes. Normal
End If

Now it works ...
