How do I fix vb code not to display empty xml elements?
My vb code is displaying empty elements from XML document that I did not select in the code. The DateOfBirth and DateOfDeath elements are displayed when I run the code. I do not want them displayed.
These elements are inside the object that have the only element I need it's value displayed which is PartyId. The object name is objCaseParty. In my code I am selecting the PartyId from this object. However the DateOfBirth and DateOfDeath are also displayed in the result xml even though I have not selected them in my vb code.
How do I remove these two elements from being displayed?

Here is expected result
Code:
<InsertPWBRorAOS xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="">
<CaseNumber>10-PR-19-125</CaseNumber>
<CompletedDate>2019-07-10T00:00:00</CompletedDate>
<DueDate>2021-06-14T00:00:00</DueDate>
<EventDate>2019-06-14T00:00:00</EventDate>
<EventType>NOPERWELL</EventType>
<RelatedParties>
<CaseParty>
<PartyId>9919636</PartyId>
</CaseParty>
</RelatedParties>
</InsertPWBRorAOS>
Here is the result I am currently getting which has additional elements with no values. I do not want these elements returned
Code:
<InsertPWBRorAOS xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="">
<CaseNumber>10-PR-19-125</CaseNumber>
<CompletedDate>2019-07-10T00:00:00</CompletedDate>
<DueDate>2021-06-14T00:00:00</DueDate>
<EventDate>2019-06-14T00:00:00</EventDate>
<EventType>NOPERWELL</EventType>
<RelatedParties>
<CaseParty>
<DateOfBirth xsi:nil="true"/>
<DateOfDeath xsi:nil="true"/>
<PartyId>9919636</PartyId>
<PartyType xsi:nil="true"/>
</CaseParty>
</RelatedParties>
</InsertPWBRorAOS>

Here is the xml document vb code is reading.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Integration xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" xmlns:tsg="http://tsgweb.com" xmlns:IXML="http://tsgweb.com" PackageID="MMG Updates">
