XML self closed tags

C#

Hi,

i need to convert all the empty XML nodes to self closed in a XML file.

like following:

<colspec colnum="1" colname="col1" colwidth="*"></colspec>

should be

<colspec colnum="1" colname="col1" colwidth="*"/>

I have tried the method

XmlElement.IsEmpty = true;

but it returned with empty space before closing, like the following.

<colspec colnum="1" colname="col1" colwidth="*" />

i have tried the below code:

XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
xDoc.PreserveWhitespace = true;
xDoc.Load(InputFile);

foreach (XmlElement xEle in xDoc.SelectNodes("descendant::*[not(node())]"))
{
    xEle.IsEmpty = true;
}
xDoc.Save(InputFile);

Please help in this regard.

Regards,
Kavin
