display xml in textbox

Hi,
XmlTextWriter xmlw = new XmlTextWriter("c:\\sun.xml", null);
xmlw.WriteStartDocument();
xmlw.WriteStartElement("Company");
xmlw.WriteStartElement("Skills");
xmlw.WriteElementString("Microsoft", textBox1.Text);
xmlw.WriteElementString("Sun", textBox2.Text);
xmlw.WriteEndElement();
xmlw.WriteEndElement();
xmlw.WriteEndDocument();
xmlw.Close();

I used that above code for writing an xml, now i want to display that xml in text box how to do that?

Hi!

You can't use the XmlTextWriter to update the textbox. Use the XmlTextReaderinstead to read thexml file.

use XmlTextReaderto read the xml from the file and then display it.

Or you can use the StreamReader to copy all the content in the XML fileto the TextBox:

Code Snippet

(StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(@"c:\test.xml"))
