code [npq]

Steven Hicks n 1

I just rewrote lots of my code in my application last night (simpilfied ~25 lines into 3 (with use of a function (also 3 lines)) and now the features run faster and don't crash. Arrughh! I can't believe that it could have been simpified to that.. (it was dealling with XML processing) Has this happened to anyone else? -Steven npq=not (a) programming question

Yup - exact same thing. Wrote 30 odd lines of code to format XML nicely, then found a method that did it for me, better and faster. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

Yes, it has happened to me. And it's a great feeling because you know you've gained experience. -- If I had the ability to smooth talk like John Simmons, this post would be less sarcastic and more to the point.

No, just something that the .NET framework provided by itself. I forget the details, did you want me to find them out for you ? The code is at home....

It looks like this:

		StringBuilder sbDocString = new StringBuilder();
		StringWriter swControlWriter = new StringWriter(sbDocString);
		XmlTextWriter oDocWriter = new XmlTextWriter(swControlWriter);

		oDocWriter.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
		XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
		doc.LoadXml(sXML);
		doc.Save(oDocWriter);
		return sbDocString.ToString();

sXML is a string of XML passed into the function.
