loosing xml format

SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Hi,

I've cut my problem to these 3 lines: 

    XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();
    xdoc.LoadXml(_synEditor.Document.Text);
    _synEditor.Document.Text = xdoc.OuterXml;
the xml formatting in the XmlDocument is getting lost when loading it into the Editor with

_synEditor.Document.Text = xdoc.OuterXml;

it's all in one single line after executing the code...

f.e.:

<root>
<test />
</root>

becomes <root><test /></root>


How can I prevent this?

Are you positive that OuterXml is returning line terminator characters?

To make sure it's an issue with SyntaxEditor, have you tried using the same code to load your document into a multi-line textbox? If it shows up the same where there, the issue lies with how the document is loaded and parsed, and not with SyntaxEditor.

I'm sorry, you were right.

XmlDocument looses the formatting when loading a xml-document, i've fixed it with an own xmlindenter method.

Thank you!

There's a probably simpler way to do it, assuming the doc is already indented the way you like: for your XmlDocument instance set the PreserveWhitespace property to true before loading the document/xml string. It'll then preserve the whitespace.
