Question : XmlDocument.Load(Stream) method is removing tabs between tags

Hi

I'm using the XmlDocument.Load(Stream) method to load a stream into a xml document. Now I've found out that the load method is "optimizing" the xml structure, i.e. it removes single tabs between tags, which is destroying my document. If the tab is followed by another character, the tab is not removed, but if there is only a tab and nothing more between two tags, it gets removed!

Example:
123         --- removes the tab between and
123      1   --- tab remains after loading

Is there a way to load a stream containing xml data into a xml document without losing the tabs?

Thank you!

Kind regards
Martin

Hi,

Set the PreserveWhitespace flag to true before loading.

XmlDocument.PreserveWhitespace = true;
