Saving to XML file with XmlDocument

[Mike]

Hi,

When using the following code:
doc.PreserveWhitespace = true;
doc.Save(fileName);

where doc is a variable of type "XmlDocument", the XML file is saved with the correct information by the indentation is not kept. Any idea why?

Also, the first character of the XML file is "". Any idea why?

Thanks so much.
Mike

If you want to save an XmlDocument with indentation, use an instance of
XmlTextWriter with the Formatting property set to Formatting.Indented

Also, the first character of the XML file is "". Any idea why?

The characters you're refering to are the Unicode markers for the text file.
