Re: Deleting element from xml doc

If you first convert that set to an XML dataset.

Sorry, Cor - but personally I think that a DataSet is entirely the
wrong tool for handling xml... just my opinion...
the following seems to more closely express the intent:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("path.xml");
foreach (XmlNode node in doc.SelectNodes("/Collection/
Book[@Locator='Yes']")) {
node.ParentNode.RemoveChild(node);
}
doc.Save("path2.xml");

The arg to SelectNodes reads "find all root->Collection->Book elements
where there is a Locator attribute with the value of yes"; we iterate
that, for each one removing it from it's parent.
