how to create xml files out of an xml file based on an element

[ALI-R]

Hi All,

I have an xml file with the structure below.I'd like to create dynamic
number of xml files from this file based on <subreport> elements.each XML
file contains
subreport element only .for instance if there are 4 <subreport> elements
,I'd like to create 4 different xml files and I want them to be named based
on <Ship_Via> child value in each <subreport> element.

Is there somebody who can give me an idea?
thanks for your help.

====XML file====
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<report>
<subreport>
<heading>
<Sales_Order_Lbl>Sales Order1</Sales_Order_Lbl>
<Ship_Via>10-TR</Ship_Via>
</heading>
<detail_values>
<Ln>2</Ln>
<Item_Number>12</Item_Number>
<Producer_Address>Address1:</Producer_Address>
</detail_values>

Something like:

XmlDocument sourceDoc = new XmlDocument();
sourceDoc.Load(sourceFile);
#if GUARANTEED_ONLY_SUBREPORT_NODES_PRESENT_UNDER_ROOT
XmlNodeList subreportNodes = sourceDoc.DocumentElement.ChildNodes;
#else
XmlNodeList subreportNodes =
sourceDoc.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("subreport");
#endif
foreach (XmlNode subreportNode in subreportNodes)
{
XmlTextWriter xout = new XmlTextWriter
(string.Concat(OUTPUT_PATH,
subreportNode.SelectSingleNode("heading/Ship_Via").InnerText, ".xml",
Encoding.UTF8);
xout.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
xout.WriteStartDocument(true);
subreportNode.WriteTo(xout);
xout.Close();
}
