Thank you, and I am glad your willing to help such a newb like myself, but believe me, I am trying to help myself at the same time. Thanks for links to articles on this, will most definately read. I found some good help in my Visual C# .Net book as well.

This is going to be great for my upload on my main form that they upload on, but for the page I am doing this on, its just to view, they will not be allowed to upload any files, just vewing files attached to a helpdesk record.

Help with DataSet.WriteXML

4-May-07 9:48

Just pass the string to the required page or store it and retrieve it from some location and do the same thing.

I am trying to write a dataset upon login and write certain information retrieved from an Access db (I hate Access but right now the SQL box isn't available so I'm hitting the Access db as little as possible). When I populate the DataSet and use DataSet.WriteXML it's giving weird results. Also, when I login in a 2nd time (with a different user, the only part that works is searching the XML for the user I'm logging in with if it exists then dont rewrite it) I want it to append it to the existing XML document and even this isn't working right, the .WriteXML is giving a result like

Are you using a stream or directly writing it into a file? Looks like you are opening a filestream writing the file and opening the file again and appending the 2nd user's data, in this scenario the xml will get appended to the previous xml in the file.

If you post the code you are using, then we could find out the problem.

The weird results are the XML I posted in the original post. The column names arent what they are coming from the database. Granted I dont do a lot of work with XML and I've spent some time researching it but I feel like I'm beating my head against the wall. Once I get home I'll post the code but right now I'm at work and dont have access to my home development machine.

Part 2

I do want the XML appended but the way its doing it its adding a 2nd root element which cant happen so I'm trying to figure out how to add the other users as they login without adding multiple root level elements.

How are you adding the users? From your code I presume that you have a dataset which would already contain the details of the first user, if you add a new row to the dataset and fill it with the required details and then do a writexml you should be having an xml file with a single root element and both the users details inside it. Looks like the logic your using is different from the one I have mentioned and thats why your getting multiple root elements.

Once you get back home, you can post the code and we could find out the issue.

I have no problem while coding ASP.Net page but when it comes to create an attractive page in terms of look and feel ( i am a failed man). I donot know how we can graphically design a web page in visual studio 2005(ASP.Net). For e.g. i have 3 images; how can i shown these pages in the head,middle and foot of a ASP.Net page.
Also,please provide some good links for grahically desiging a ASP.Net page if possible.

My name is Jatinder and I work for Microsoft on the TechEd event. I generally read IT blogs to keep up with what is going on in the industry and decided to jump on in with a little plug for TechEd 2007 (June 4 – 8). This year we’ve dedicated 50% of the event content to developer specific tools with deep technical training that covers Visual Studio® 2005, Windows Vista™ development and the .NET Framework. You can also get in-depth information on building software using Visual C++®, Visual Basic® and Visual C#®. The incredible amount of information you can learn at TechEd is awesome but it is also an incredible place to network and let loose a little. The event is in Orlando, FL this year so the attendee party is at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure and the place is reserved for TechEd attendees only! Trust me, these parties are a blast. If you decide to go you should register now before it sells out like it did last year…we are also offering a bit of an incentive, all registrations before May 11th are entered to win either 1 of 5 Xbox 360 Elites (killer graphics) or 1 of 5 Amex gift cards (Disney ain’t cheap!) www.microsoft.com/teched
