    <p>I have looked online for a couple days on how to do this. I find small elements of code, but I seem to be missing the larger items.</p> <p>I have a number of xml files that I need to edit out extra spaces within the tags (the innertext) and I need to take out the many linebreaks (or returns--not sure if I have the right term). As well, there are elements like some text where I want to keep the text, but get rid of just the tags (the text will be absorbed into the parent tag, which is why I need to get rid of spaces and returns.</p> <pre><code>&lt;root&gt; &lt;element&gt;Some text here that has line breaks. Like this: item one item two &lt;/element&gt; &lt;/root&gt; </code></pre> <p>Need it to look like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;root&gt; &lt;element&gt;Some text here that has line breaks. Like this: item item two&lt;/element&gt; &lt;/root&gt; </code></pre> <p>I found this, but I knew it wouldn't work. I know I probably need some code that reads through and replaces (like for each node etc, etc).</p> <p>Here is my start:</p> <pre class="lang-vb prettyprint-override"><code>Private Sub Button1_Click_1(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim path As String = "c:\temp\" Dim doc As New XmlDocument doc.PreserveWhitespace = False doc.Load(path &amp; filenm.Text) 'need some loop though here with a doc.replace(something???) doc.Save(path &amp; filenm.Text) doc.PreserveWhitespace = False End Sub </code></pre> <p>Any help? BTW, all the help I get here is great. I am a newbee, but have learned a lot from you and have a pretty cool app running now that makes people think I know what I am doing. ;-)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
