hello! I have a problem with xml file. It is, I have a website in c#. in which I have a multiuser chat application. I store every chat messages in a xml file. Now the problem is, whenever I restart the application, all the previous messages appear in the listbox of the chat. By anyhow, I need to clear the contents of xml file everytime I close the application.
Thank you.
P.S I think one solution is to delete xml file eveytime I close the application, and to create it again everytime I start it again. using global.asax page's Application_Start and Application_End. Is it possible by this way?

PLease I am in hurry. :)

This would work.
You may also delete the file (and create it again) at application startup.
