xml without indentation?

[muminraif]

Hello,

I am trying to write a code in VB that writes something to an xml file. However, when I open the xml file by NotePad, etc. member elements start from 2 space characters inside. I tried to do all of the elements root element but it is not allowed I guess. So, do we have a solution to see the xml file like this:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Map xmlns="http://www.semi.org" WaferId="" FormatRevision="SEMI G85-1101">
<Device BinType="HexaDecimal" WaferSize="300">
<ReferenceDevice ReferenceDeviceX="4" ReferenceDeviceY="4"/>
<Bin Bins="1" />
<Bin BinCode="0E" BinQuality="Pass" BinDescription="" BinCount="54" />
<Data MapName="d1.xml" CreateDate="2010062395044">
<Row><![CDATA[FFFFFFFF0EFFFFFFFF]]></Row>
<Row><![CDATA[FFFF0E0E0E0E0EFFFF]]></Row>
<Row><![CDATA[FF0E0E0E0E0E0E0EFF]]></Row>
<Row><![CDATA[0E0E0E0E0E0E0E0EFF]]></Row>
<Row><![CDATA[0E0E0E0E0E0E0E0E0E]]></Row>
<Row><![CDATA[0E0E0E0E0E0E0E0EFF]]></Row>
<Row><![CDATA[FF0E0E0E0E0E0E0EFF]]></Row>
<Row><![CDATA[FF0E0E0E0E0E0EFFFF]]></Row>
<Row><![CDATA[FFFFFF0E0E0EFFFFFF]]></Row>
</Data>
</Device>
</Map>

Instead of this:

_<?xml version="1.0" ?>
_<Map xmlns="http://www.semi.org" WaferId="" FormatRevision="SEMI G85-1101">
_spaces <Device BinType="HexaDecimal" WaferSize="300">
_spaces <ReferenceDevice ReferenceDeviceX="4" ReferenceDeviceY="4"/>
_spaces <Bin Bins="1" />
_spaces <Bin BinCode="0E" BinQuality="Pass" BinDescription="" BinCount="54" />
_spaces <Data MapName="d1.xml" CreateDate="2010062395044">
_spaces <Row><![CDATA[FFFFFFFF0EFFFFFFFF]]></Row>
_spaces <Row><![CDATA[FFFF0E0E0E0E0EFFFF]]></Row>
_spaces <Row><![CDATA[FF0E0E0E0E0E0E0EFF]]></Row>
_spaces <Row><![CDATA[0E0E0E0E0E0E0E0EFF]]></Row>
_spaces <Row><![CDATA[0E0E0E0E0E0E0E0E0E]]></Row>
_spaces <Row><![CDATA[0E0E0E0E0E0E0E0EFF]]></Row>
_spaces <Row><![CDATA[FF0E0E0E0E0E0E0EFF]]></Row>
_spaces <Row><![CDATA[FF0E0E0E0E0E0EFFFF]]></Row>
_spaces <Row><![CDATA[FFFFFF0E0E0EFFFFFF]]></Row>
_spaces </Data>
_spaces </Device>
_</Map>

ps: there are 2 character spaces where I wrote "spaces" in the code, they cant be shown normally because mailbox automatically aligns them to the left

XmlWriterSettings Class (System.Xml) as you can see in example you can set Indent=False

thanks

Thank you very much, but I have to ask another thing to try that solution in my code. I have created my elements with XmlElements not with XmlWriter. Then how can I apply the settings that I have done by using that code to my document.

For XmlDocument.Save method you can use this version XmlDocument.Save Method (XmlWriter) (System.Xml)
So you create the writer with custom settings and output the document through this.
