[RESOLVED] deleting xml nodes

I now have a similar xml problem. Now that I can create and add to the file, I only have two more problems to solve.

1) How do I remove all nodes (without starting over from scratch, hopefully)?

2) How can I limit the number of nodes in the xml file?

That should do it (for now at least) until somebody wants some other feature.http://www.vbforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Using the last project I gave you.

Remove all nodes

Code:

---

Private Sub cmdRemoveAll_Click( _
    ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdRemoveAll.Click

    If (MessageBox.Show("Remove all nodes?", "Question", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button2) = MsgBoxResult.Yes) Then
        Dim Document As New XDocument
        Document = XDocument.Load(EntryFile)

        Dim Items = (From T In Document...<Entries>).FirstOrDefault
        If Items IsNot Nothing Then
            Items.RemoveAll()
            Document.Save(EntryFile)
            bsData.DataSource = New List(Of Person)
        End If
    End If

End Sub

---

Count all elements which you can then make an informed decision whether to allow more elements to be added or not.

Code:

---

Dim Document As New XDocument
Document = XDocument.Load(EntryFile)
Dim PersonCount = (From T In Document...<Entry> Select T).Count

thanks, that seems to have fixed me up.:)
