[Mono-devel-list] Problem removing elements from an XML

[Joris Willems]

Hi


When I delete a row from a dataset and write it back to XML I get 
invalid XML. Adding data to the XML is no problem. I am doing the following:

        this.ds.Tables[0].Rows.Remove(pDataRow);
       
        FileStream fout = new 
FileStream("userdata.xml",FileMode.OpenOrCreate,
                         FileAccess.Write,FileShare.ReadWrite);

        ds.WriteXml(fout);

        fout.Close();

The resulting XML looks like this:

  <item>
    <PK>8</PK>
    <name>7700fx.jpg</name>
    <cost>777</cost>
    <desc>max</desc>
    <image>/home/anne/MonoDevelopProjects/GCatalog/7700fx.jpg</image>
  </item>
</NewDataSet>x</desc>
    
<image>/home/anne/MonoDevelopProjects/GCatalog/5900superlight.jpg</image>
  </item>
  <item>
    <PK>8</PK>
    <name>7700fx.jpg</name>
    <cost>777</cost>
    <desc>max</desc>
    <image>/home/anne/MonoDevelopProjects/GCatalog/7700fx.jpg</image>
  </item>

So where you see the </NewDataSet> something is obvious wrong. As I am 
just learning C# and XML I was unable to determine if this is a bug or 
if I am doing something wrong.

I am willing to create a bugreport if someone can confirm that this is a 
bug.
