Was just trying to hand-job a convert of one of my scripts, from using INI files to XML files ... not using the UDF's we developed right now, will be - but not right now ... basically I am saving the properties of an object.

Based on my read so far, this is how one would go about doing this (the object in this case is a GridView) ...

Code:

$xml = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

If Not $xml
 Return
Endif

$grid = $xml.AppendChild($xml.CreateElement("grid"))

$grid.AppendChild($xml.CreateElement("AllowSorting")).Text = $GridView.AllowSorting
$grid.AppendChild($xml.CreateElement("RowCount")).Text = $GridView.RowCount
$grid.AppendChild($xml.CreateElement("ColumnCount")).Text = $GridView.ColumnCount

$= $xml.Save($SaveFileDialog.Filename)

Return


Its this stuff here I am scratching my head over:

$grid.AppendChild($xml.CreateElement("RowCount")).Text = $GridView.RowCount

Does one really need to create an element at the document level ($xml), then explicitly APPEND it to a child node, is this really the proper way of building the XML file, or am I missing a more simpler way.
