DataSet.WriteXml(...) does not work correctly on host

Hi all,

I have a page thatuse a dataset to work with XML data. It works perfectly on my machine when I add items to the XML files using DataSet.WriteXml(..)
It is using the following schema:
<Ad>
<Keyword></Keyword>
<ImageUrl>/</ImageUrl>
<NavigateUrl></NavigateUrl>
<AlternateText></AlternateText>
<Rotated></Rotated>
</Ad>

It works fine on my machine - but after uploading to DASP, it only createsthis when attempting to add new rows:
<Ad>
<Keyw

.. It ends here every time - even if I am working with the EXACT same data as on my local computer.

Any ideas what is causing this irrational behaviour?

Thanks,

Trond

Sure - it goes something like this:


DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml( Server.MapPath(@"\feeds\lodging_picks.xml"), System.Data.XmlReadMode.Auto );
DataRowad = new DataRow();ad.Keyword = "test keyword";
ad.ImageUrl = "/img/test_img.jpg";
ad.NavigateUrl = "www.testurl.com";
ad.AlternateText = "test alt text";
ad.Rotated = "False";
ds.Tables[0].AddRow(ad);
ds.WriteXml( Server.MapPath(@"\feeds\lodging_picks.xml" ) )


Thanks,

Actually, i got it working by
1. using DataSet.WriteXml to a temporary file
2.replace the original file with the temporary file


I was thinking maybe since this XML file is read every time someone view our web sitemain page, this could create the problem. I still I think it is strange that I had to do this...


Thanks,


Trond
