<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">LoadXML fails with an error ' Root element is missing'. I can copy the contents of</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">mapByteRdr from Visual Studio at runtime and it contains properly formatted XML for the map definition. If I use the ToFile() method, the resultant file is empty. I cannot see why these two methods do not return the xml string in the reader. Any help is welcome.</FONT></P>
