Loading an "XmlDocument" into the editor.

SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Hello. I just started using the editor and I love it.

What is the proper way to pass a .NET "XmlDocument" into the editor? I have the editor set up so that I can paste xml into it and the highlighting works. When I call "editor.Document.AppendText(XmlDoc.OuterXml)", the xml is added to the editor, but it loses all indenting and appears on only one line. Is there some other way I need to interact with the editor, or am I misusing "XmlDocument"?

Thanks for any help,

James

Hi James,

SyntaxEditor isn't indenting/formatting the XML so it's the output from the XmlDocument itself that is producing the one line stream of tags. I remember that from using XmlDocument myself in the past. I know that the XmlTextWriter class has props for controlling XML indentation. Maybe use that instead.

Thanks. Your reply led me to a fresh investigation of the problem. It turns out that setting "_xmlDoc.PreserveWhitespace = true" was all I needed.
The latest build of this product (v24.1.0) was released 1 month ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
