Hi,

I am trying to understand the concept of XML file. I have gone through many articles and i am very much confused now!

First of all, i am confused if i should create a XML file through codebehind page and use xmlwriter to write in it OR should i directly open the XML file and write the contents in it?
I tried creating many XML files through codebehind and it gets created but i am unable to use them in AdRotator & RSS Feed.

I want to know how can i create XML file that has Url's of files in its child element.

I will be very thankful if anybody guide me in brief and clear my doubts.
Thanks in advance.

Please don't use text speak next time. Words like (plz, b, m, thru..), use proper and complete words.

Thanks for your reply.yesterday i was trying to use xml file in adrotator,i was creating xml file through codebehind page in asp.net,my program was run successfuly and created the xml file and save it in my project.But when i use it in add rotator through advertisement file by just browsing the xml file,it was not working.then i tried it through just simply open the xml file and typed my contents into it directly and browse this through advertisement file.it worked.But i want to know that when should i use codebehind page to create xml file i.e using XmlWriter and xmldocument etc. and in case when i need some updation in this then how can i do it.i have learned this W3Schools article and also know that xml is only for storing,transporting,structuring the information.Does it mean i simply open the xml form and directly write into it the structure of my contents.please answer my this doubt first.could you please send me your email id.

An XML file is text. What you do depends on your needs. I suggest buying a basic book on XML, because you appear to have no clue.

You can deal with xml by just adding namespace Imports System.xml;

if you want to read the xml content then just use XMLReader class
if you want to write the xml then just use xmlWriter class
you can also use XMLdocument for reading n writing purpose.
