Hi

I'm using the following code to create xml string:

Dim Doc As New System.Xml.XmlDocument
Dim newAtt As System.Xml.XmlAttribute

Dim dec As System.Xml.XmlDeclaration
dec = Doc.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", Nothing, Nothing)
dec.Encoding = "UTF-8"
Doc.AppendChild(dec)

Dim DocRoot As System.Xml.XmlElement = Doc.CreateElement("userlist")
newAtt = Doc.CreateAttribute("ACTION")
newAtt.Value = vAction
DocRoot.Attributes.Append(newAtt)

newAtt = Doc.CreateAttribute("VENDORNAME")
newAtt.Value = vVendorName
DocRoot.Attributes.Append(newAtt)
Doc.AppendChild(DocRoot)

Dim amouser As System.Xml.XmlNode = Doc.CreateElement("amouser")
newAtt = Doc.CreateAttribute("AMOAID")
newAtt.Value = vAMOAID
amouser.Attributes.Append(newAtt)

newAtt = Doc.CreateAttribute("VENDORUSERNAME")
newAtt.Value = vH2UserName
amouser.Attributes.Append(newAtt)

newAtt = Doc.CreateAttribute("AMOATOKEN")
newAtt.Value = vAMOAToken
amouser.Attributes.Append(newAtt)

DocRoot.AppendChild(amouser)

Dim xmlstring = Doc.OuterXml

The result looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <userlist ACTION="redirectuser" VENDORNAME="H2Digital">
    <amouser AMOAID="bb224c2a-fe8a-4c3f-acf4-6c0986b8cf78"
VENDORUSERNAME="xrivera@hotmail.com"
    AMOATOKEN="hx0gH6e8PvswEzaA8oXPoVIY/KvnbP2/" />
</userlist>

I need the result to look like this: with </amouser> instead of />

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <userlist ACTION="redirectuser" VENDORNAME="H2Digital">
    <amouser AMOAID="bb224c2a-fe8a-4c3f-acf4-6c0986b8cf78"
VENDORUSERNAME="xrivera@hotmail.com"
     AMOATOKEN="hx0gH6e8PvswEzaA8oXPoVIY/KvnbP2/" </amouser>
</userlist>

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Cindy

Whether an empty element is serialized as
  <foo/>
or
  <foo />
or
  <foo></foo>
does not make a difference. If you want to enforce
  <foo></foo>
nevertheless then with the .NET framework's DOM implementation set
IsEmpty to false, see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmlelement.isempty.aspx

So in your original example you need
  amouser.IsEmpty = False
