? Creating tag for Adobe xfdf

[normschaef]

Hi all:

I'm working on an app that outputs an Acrobat xfdf (XML form data format(I think)) file. I'm using XMLTextWriter to output the file and have gotten most of the syntax correct.

The line, though that points to the .pdf into which the xml data is loaded is giving me problems.

It should read:

<f href="myPDF.pdf" />

The closest I've come is:
(XMLTextWriter dim'd as writer)

writer.WriteString("<f")
writer.WriteString("href=""myPDF.pdf""")
writer.WriteString("/>")

Which outputs as

< f href="myPDF.pdf" / >

Also doesn't seem to work (although it seems to me as though it should, shouldn't it?):

<f>href="myPDF.pdf"</f>

TIA for any help.
Norm

writer.WriteStartElement("f")
writer.WriteAttributeString("href", "myPDF.pdf")
writer.WriteEndElement()

Thanks

Thanks John...
I was a little fuzzy on using the WriteAttributesString method. I thought that might be the key. Your code clears it up for me.

Thanks again.
