Glad to help - any problems, be sure to get back...

For completeness: your original code touched on XmlWriter; this is
typically used *instead of* the XmlDocument model in those scenarios
where XmlDocument is too heavy - just as very large xml fragments; with
XmlWriter you could write a 500Mb file from a database by writing one
row at a time directly to hte stream; with the XmlDocument you would
need to hold it all in memory first, probably taking about 4-times
that, so 2Gb (better hope for Win64 memory addressing!).
XmlDocument, however, uses the "all in memory" model to provide
services such as XPath/XQuery, and simple element manipulation. There
are other differences, but that is the general principle; for
small-to-mid-size xml, XmlDocument is a reasonable choice.
