Hi Ian,
<snip
1. It maybe that the XmlTextReader is validating the XML file and in order
to do this, it is looking for the scheme or DTD referrenced in the XML file.
You could try turning validation off for the XmlTextReader.
PL] How do I do this? I know that I need to use a XMLReaderSettings
object but how do I apply that to the XMLTextWriter? I ask since the
XMLTextWriter does not have a suitable constructer. There is the
create method which takes a stream and a settings object but I can't
figure out how to put all of this together.
