Hi,

I have passed an string from my web service to my xaml page which contains xml of data.

xml which is received in xaml page doesnot contain empty tags.

For some reason I need empty tags.

I would appreciate If anyone of you could help.

Thanks

Code snippet -

string str = ds.GetXml() + ds1.GetXml()
str = "<demo>" + str + "</demo>";
return str;

What do you mean by an empty tag? An example, please. Why do you need them? Don't think you can just walk out not answering why and still hope for good answers. Why?

@SAKyrukov
empty tag means suppose a field in a column is empty for a particular row so that tag is not included in xml.

suppose a table emp
has 4 columns empid,name,sal,desg
for some record if say desg is not filled
then in xml desg tag is not found for that record

OK, you explained what is the empty tag (not what I expected; missing tag cannot be called "empty"). Database column cannot be empty though; the value can be null or something else. Now, you say "For some reason I need empty tags". I wonder, what is that reason? Skipping tags in not the usual way of representing database table in XML.

is it fine if you add Schema information as overhead, in that case database structure will also be added. i am not sure if empty tags is also included or not but can you try it ?
