xml format problem

[CindyH]

Hi

I'm using the following code to create xml string:

Dim Doc As New System.Xml.XmlD ocument
Dim newAtt As System.Xml.XmlA ttribute

Dim dec As System.Xml.XmlD eclaration
dec = Doc.CreateXmlDe claration("1.0" , Nothing, Nothing)
dec.Encoding = "UTF-8"
Doc.AppendChild (dec)

Dim DocRoot As System.Xml.XmlE lement = Doc.CreateEleme nt("userlist")
newAtt = Doc.CreateAttri bute("ACTION")
newAtt.Value = vAction
DocRoot.Attribu tes.Append(newA tt)

newAtt = Doc.CreateAttri bute("VENDORNAM E")
newAtt.Value = vVendorName
DocRoot.Attribu tes.Append(newA tt)
Doc.AppendChild (DocRoot)

Dim amouser As System.Xml.XmlN ode = Doc.CreateEleme nt("amouser")
newAtt = Doc.CreateAttri bute("AMOAID")
newAtt.Value = vAMOAID
amouser.Attribu tes.Append(newA tt)

newAtt = Doc.CreateAttri bute("VENDORUSE RNAME")
newAtt.Value = vH2UserName
amouser.Attribu tes.Append(newA tt)

newAtt = Doc.CreateAttri bute("AMOATOKEN ")
newAtt.Value = vAMOAToken
amouser.Attribu tes.Append(newA tt)

DocRoot.AppendC hild(amouser)

Dim xmlstring = Doc.OuterXml



The result looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<userlist ACTION="redirec tuser" VENDORNAME="H2D igital">
<amouser AMOAID="bb224c2 a-fe8a-4c3f-acf4-6c0986b8cf78"
VENDORUSERNAME= "xrivera@hotmai l.com"
AMOATOKEN="hx0g H6e8PvswEzaA8oX PoVIY/KvnbP2/" />
</userlist>


I need the result to look like this: with </amouserinstead of />

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<userlist ACTION="redirec tuser" VENDORNAME="H2D igital">
<amouser AMOAID="bb224c2 a-fe8a-4c3f-acf4-6c0986b8cf78"
VENDORUSERNAME= "xrivera@hotmai l.com"
AMOATOKEN="hx0g H6e8PvswEzaA8oX PoVIY/KvnbP2/" </amouser>
</userlist>

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Cindy

Whether an empty element is serialized as
<foo/>
or
<foo />
or
<foo></foo>
does not make a difference. If you want to enforce
<foo></foo>
nevertheless then with the .NET framework's DOM implementation set
IsEmpty to false, see

So in your original example you need
amouser.IsEmpty = False
