xmltextwriter

Hi am trying to use xmltextwriter to create new file but tells me that "Empty path name is not legal."
here is my code

public void SaveXmlDocument(SaveType type)

{

string newFileName = this.fileName;

SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog1 = new SaveFileDialog();

saveFileDialog1.Filter = fileDlgFilter;

if ((type == SaveType.SaveAs) ||

Empty(newFileName))

{

if (!Empty(newFileName))

{

saveFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(newFileName);

saveFileDialog1.FileName = Path.GetFileName(newFileName);

}

else

{

saveFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = fileDlgInitDir;

saveFileDialog1.FileName = newDocName;

}

DialogResult res = saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog(frmOwner);

if (res != DialogResult.OK)

// return false;

newFileName = saveFileDialog1.FileName;

//fileDlgInitDir = new FileInfo(newFileName).DirectoryName;

}

XmlSerializer mySerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(DocManager));

// XmlTextWriter myWriter = textwri

FileStream myStream = new FileStream(newFileName,FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write,FileShare.Read);

XmlTextWriter myWriter = new XmlTextWriter(myStream,Encoding.UTF8);

//myWriter = Formatting.Indented;

mySerializer.Serialize(myStream,type);

myStream.Close();

Hi Jacob,

In what particular line does the error occur? In debug mode, before the error occurs, what's the value of newFileName? fileDlgInitDir? newDocName? It maybe that one of the variable is contains an empty value. And what's the content of the Empty method?
