Hmm, this does not happen to my fedora core 2 box. It raises file sharing error. Which version of mono are you using? When you open a file via XmlTextReader, it is locked until you explicitly call Close(). Thus, the file sharing error should be thrown, since you are keeping the file opened. > (OT now, sorry) Does anyone know an elegant way of loading an > XmlDocument and then writing the updated contents back into the same > file? Once you read up the source xml into XmlDocument, the input file can be used (by calling Close()). > Next to the problem with XmlDocument, if I dump a DateTime Object to a > string with ToString("F") on Linux and read that dumped string back into > a windows box with DateTime.Parse(string) I get an FormatException. In which culture are you living? The line below will provide you the exact information. Console.WriteLine (System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture); We could not support all the culture and it may differ if IBM icu defines different culture data. Right now CultureInfo.InvariantCulture should work fine. > DateTime.Now.ToString("F"); produces > "June 15, 2004 7:44:07 P +2" on Linux (RH9) > and the same produces > "June 15, 2004 7:55:07 +2" on Win32 (without the 'P') Maybe you are in different culture when you are using those machines.
