Hi, I am having trouble with deleting nodes from an XML file. I use the
following code to remove an XML node.

xNode = xDoc.SelectSingleNode("//country/city/street[@name='" &
ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString & "']")
xNode.RemoveAll()

<country name="France">
    <city name="Paris">
      <street name="1 France Lane">
        <details>
          <postcode>9988jj</postcode>
          <province></province>
          <c>France</c>
        </details>
      </street>
      <street name="2 France Lane">
        <details>
          <postcode>9988jj</postcode>
          <province></province>
          <c>France</c>
        </details>
      </street>
</country>

The code seems to work except it is not removing the full node. I.E it
leaves behind and empty tag.

For example, if I needed to delete the second street address in the XML
above (2 France Lane) it would leave an empty tag of <street></street>
behind as illustrated below.

<country name="France">
    <city name="Paris">
      <street name="1 France Lane">
        <details>
          <postcode>9988jj</postcode>
          <province></province>
          <c>France</c>
        </details>
      </street>
      <street>
      </street>
</country>

Can anyone advise how I can clean this up and remove the full Street
element?

Many thanks.

Mark.
