The following example shows how you can read data from an existing XML file and then write out updated data to another file (or overwrite the first one if you're brave). Sorry it's in C# as I haven't had time to translate it into VB.Net but I'm sure you'll be able to follow it OK: using System; using System.Xml; class Test { static void Main() { using (XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(jay.xml)) { reader.ReadToFollowing(Style); string name = reader.GetAttribute(name); Console.WriteLine(name); reader.ReadToFollowing(File); string backFile = reader.ReadElementString(File); Console.WriteLine(backFile); string stretched = reader.ReadElementString(Stretched); Console.WriteLine(stretched); string cropped = reader.ReadElementString(Cropped); Console.WriteLine(cropped); reader.ReadToFollowing(File); string foreFile = reader.ReadElementString(File); Console.WriteLine(foreFile); string transparency = reader.ReadElementString(Transparency); Console.WriteLine(transparency); string enabled = reader.ReadElementString(Enabled); Console.WriteLine(enabled); } using (XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(jay2.xml null)) { writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented; writer.WriteStartElement(ExampleMain); writer.WriteStartElement(Settings); writer.WriteStartElement(Style); writer.WriteStartAttribute(name); writer.WriteString(test124); writer.WriteEndAttribute(); writer.WriteStartElement(Background); writer.WriteStartElement(File); writer.WriteString(image03.bmp); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteStartElement(Stretched); writer.WriteString(1); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteStartElement(Cropped); writer.WriteString(0); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteStartElement(Foreground); writer.WriteStartElement(File); writer.WriteString(image6.bmp); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteStartElement(Transparency); writer.WriteString(32); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteStartElement(Enabled); writer.WriteString(0); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteEndElement(); } Console.ReadLine(); } }
