Hello

I Know how to create and add elements to xml file with XmlTextWriter, here
is code for example:
Dim textWriter As XmlTextWriter = New XmlTextWriter("table.xml", Nothing)

' Opens the document

textWriter.WriteStartDocument()

' Write comments

textWriter.WriteComment("Database")

' Write first element

textWriter.WriteStartElement("R_DataBase")

textWriter.WriteString("test")

textWriter.WriteEndElement()



' Ends the document.

textWriter.WriteEndDocument()

' close writer

textWriter.Close()



I Would like to know if there's way to edit xml file i mean to open the file
and then to add or remove elements from it. beacuse right now my program
make a new xml file everytime i need to save the file

You can use System.Xml.XmlDocument to load the XML document into a DOM
tree model where you are then able to add/delete/manipulate nodes and
save the tree model back to a file.
