Hi all, I have the following code in my application xmlr = New XmlTextReader(ms) xmlr.WhitespaceHandling = WhitespaceHandling.None XMLWR.Formatting = Formatting.Indented While xmlr.Read XMLWR.WriteNode(xmlr, False) End While Try xmlr.Close() XMLWR.Flush() XMLWR.Close() Catch lx As Exception MsgBox("Error in writing temporary xml. Quitting") My.Application.Log.WriteException(lx) quit() End Try XMLWR = Nothing xmlr = Nothing When the code reaches the line XMLWR.WriteNode(xmlr, False) it accesses the Internet to lookup the XML schemas I presume. I do not want the code to access the Internet since my user should be able to run the application offline. What do I do?
