HOLY CRAP I DID IT!

Whow, I got custom xml file reading to work in .net 1.1! It's easier in 2.0 but holy crap i made it work! except... there are multiple items, and it only displays ONE when loaded. How come? Will post source if needed.

Are you talking about using XmlTextReader?  Or have I missed something?

Yes. XMLTextReader. But I never could figure it out. So now I got it down. Though in the .net 2.0 libraries it was as simple as pie.

Yeah, it can be a bit nasty sometimes.

You'll need to show some code (and a sample of the xml too probably) - it really depends on how you're using the reader.

Actually - might be best to post it in techoff and I'll pick it up there - don't want to upset anyone in the coffeehouse!

Would be nice if the admins installed a feature that allowed us to move our posts to certain sections of the website. [techoff? ]. Moving now.

Right there.

It's easier in .NET 2.0? I made use of XmlTextReader to parse Jabber streams in .NET 1.1, it nearly drove me to a nervous breakdown.

Very easy in 2.0. And I know what you mean. Even though the code i have now reads the XML file it adds the last item three times. It is still frustrating.

Be sure to check for closing elements and make it skip processing of those.

Good idea.
