clear xml file with vb.net

[buddyel]

the following is a small xml file that saves transactions entered by the user. At the end of the month a report is printed. I need to have the xml file cleared of all data at the end of the month as well and I am unsure of how to go about that. does anyone? thanks!!!

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot; ?>
<NewDataSet xmlns=&quot;

http://tempuri.org/transactions.xsd&quot;>

<record>
<partnumber>13M133403</partnumber>
<from>eri</from>
<to>ten</to>
<quantity>307.25</quantity>
<entered>11/15/02</entered>
</record>
<record>
<partnumber>64Z100329</partnumber>
<from>chi</from>
<to>mia</to>
<quantity>1500</quantity>
<entered>11/15/02</entered>
</record>
</NewDataSet>

Are you creating the file, and if so how.

I added a blank xml file to my vb project and entered the tags and then created a schema from that.

I figured it out.. I created a button to clear the xml file. I loaded the xml file into a dataset and then cleared the dataset and then wrote back that change. I also added a line to the save routine to read the schema as well as the xml file. This seems to have done it, whether it is the best way or not who knows, but it works well.
