I have been looking for something open source for issue tracking written in .net - this looks like it could be the answer.

VERY NICE!!!

This one got me close as far as being able to just construct an XML document from scratch... I am now just building my own wrapper for the system.xml function... I will paste it here when complete.

CREATE XML

Looking hard for XMLObject class for vb.net - Looks like an easy to use wrapper for .net's system.xml namespace and there are several good articles on it...

Including this...

But all the links to the code are bad... Oh well - I'll keep looking.
