Saving XML from Visual Basic

Is there a way to format a XML file and make it go into block mode.

When I save a XML file, the content is in one line. It works but just hard to read.

Yes, you can use Microsoft XML x.x library - go to Project -> References and select one from the list ... But how did you do it ?

Thanks but I know that already. I actually need to make it look read able when it is saved in XML.

open it in internet explorer.

Fine, "... But how did you do it ?" - show us.

Code:

---

    Dim objDom As DOMDocument
    Dim objRootElem As IXMLDOMElement
    Set objRootElem = objDom.createElement("Root")
    objDom.appendChild objRootElem
    Set objMemberElem = objDom.createElement("Member")
    objRootElem.appendChild objMemberElem
    Call objDom.save(App.Path & "\Output.xml")

dglienna, that is what I want but need the actual content of the file like that.

I have this to read the file...

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
GetHTML
MsgBox GetHTML
End Sub
 
Private Function GetHTML() As String
    Dim html As IXMLHTTPRequest
    Set html = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
    With html
        .Open "GET", "http://www.vbforums.com/", False
        .send
        GetHTML = .responseText
    End With
    Set html = Nothing
End Function

I don't get it. Here is an xml file that I have that is the output of a component checker. It is readable in Notepad, as I have here, as well as showing up color coded in IE.

This is exactly what I want but can it goes against a XML file? It pretty the XML or put it in well-formed. I tried it against a file but it failed at the send command.

You know, I found a way to do this but it has to be done in .Net. Still want to know if it is possible to do it in VB6?
