Description:

This code is Brinkster-compatible. Since General Users can only write to the DB directory, be sure to put this code there for testing purposes. It creates an XML file called xmltextwriter.xml. It is a great piece of starter code for someone that wants to write to XML files. C# will give you much more capabilities than ASP 3.0 so I recommend you use this code instead of the one I added in the XML CodeBank which uses ASP 3.0. Please rate this code. I hope it helps you out. Please give back to the community and post your C# code snippets! Thanks.

         writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
         writer.WriteStartDocument(true);
         writer.WriteComment("XML Nodes added using the XmlTextWriter");
         writer.WriteStartElement("golfers");
            writer.WriteStartElement("golfer", null);
               writer.WriteAttributeString("skill","moderate");
               writer.WriteAttributeString("handicap","12");
               writer.WriteAttributeString("clubs","Taylor Made");
               writer.WriteAttributeString("id","1111");
             writer.WriteEndElement(); //golfer
         writer.WriteEndElement(); //golfers
         writer.Close();
         }
      catch (Exception er)
      {
         Console.WriteLine("Exception: {0}", er.ToString());
