<Synchronizatio nObjectsDocumen t >
<ApplicationAre a>
<DocId>dea959 3b-4c60-4c1a-ab7f-004a4e336ac5</DocId>
<CreationDateTi me>2004-05-13T21:31:48-04:00</CreationDateTim e>

Hi KB,

I do not like these classes because you have to write so much for them and
therfore maybe never used them, however with your problem it would be the
first one to look for (and most probably use them).

xmlReader (it reads node by node, attribute by attribute etc)

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemxmlxmlreaderclasstopic.asp

and than the XMLwriter

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemxmlxmlwriterclasstopic.asp

I hope this helps?
