I am getting a "Root element is missing" error when I try to load a
stream into and
XmlDocument. Can anyone help me with what I am doing wrong???


Dim xmlTextWriter As XmlTextWriter = Nothing
Dim objFile As FileStream = Nothing

objStream = New MemoryStream()

xmlTextWriter = New System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(objStream, _
Encoding.GetEncoding("iso8859-1"))

xmlTextWriter.Formatting = System.Xml.Formatting.Indented
xmlTextWriter.WriteStartDocument(True)
xmlTextWriter.WriteComment("This file represents " & _
"data for source system.")
xmlTextWriter.WriteStartElement("requests", Nothing)
xmlTextWriter.WriteEndElement() 'End of Requests element
xmlTextWriter.Flush()

objStream = xmlTextWriter.BaseStream()


Dim objXMLDoc As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument
objXMLDoc.Load(objStream)

add a "WriteEndDocument() like below.
