I've written a C#.net web app using VS.Net. My problem is, I can read a 
XML file from a URL using XMLDataDocument and use the Load method which 
binds to a Dataset. I can modify the dataset, but when I try and write the 
XML back to the remote server using the save method, which is the only 
method available to the XMLDataDocument. I get a error: Unsupported URI 
format. Now I don't understanding how can I read the xml file from a 
remote server, but cannot write it back. Is there something I'm missing??? 
Thank you in advance.

Thomas,

	What does the URL look like that you're trying to save back to?  If
its something like "http://tempuri.org/file.xml", then you need to consider
that (at least to my knowledge) there is no default mechanism in place that
will allow you to arbitrarily write an XML file to a remote server, even
with proper permissions.  The .NET IDE does it via the highly insecure MS
FrontPage extensions, and I suppose you could write a class that does the
same (assuming the extensions are installed on the target server).  I think
that when you call the .Save method of the XMLDataDocument, it may be
looking for a path that you have access rights to (NT Lan Manager, AD or
other) and can be mapped to a device on your system/network (i.e.
c:\temp\data.xml or \\abyss\data\stuff.xml).

	Even better, you might want to consider writing a web service that
you post the XML data file back to, and it saves it on the server end.  This
would be, in my opinion, the least path of resistance.

HTH,
- Chuck
