BUG: Synchronization is not performed on DataSet and XmlDataDocument when you set InnerXml on a text node (318148)

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

1. Use Notepad to create a new XML document that contains the following code:

   <MyDataSet>
       <MyTable1 colStringAttr="Zero">
           <colString>Zero</colString>
           <colInt>0</colInt>
           <MyTable2>
               <colString>Zero</colString>
               <colInt>0</colInt>
           </MyTable2>
       </MyTable1>
       <MyTable1 colStringAttr="One">
           <colString>One</colString>
           <colInt>1</colInt>
           <MyTable2>
               <colString>One</colString>
               <colInt>1</colInt>
           </MyTable2>
       </MyTable1>
   </MyDataSet>
   
   					

2. Save the document as Data.xml in the root folder of your hard disk.
3. In Visual Studio .NET, create a new Microsoft Visual C# .NET Console Application project. Replace the code in Class1.cs with the following code:

   using System;
   using System.Data;
   using System.Xml;
   using System.Xml.XPath;
   
   namespace Q318148
   {
   	class Class1
   	{
   		public static void Main()
   		{
   
   			XmlDataDocument xd = new XmlDataDocument();
   			xd.DataSet.ReadXml( "c:\\data.xml");
   			xd.DataSet.AcceptChanges();
   
   			Console.WriteLine( xd.DocumentElement.FirstChild.FirstChild.InnerXml );
   		        //Comment the following line.
   			xd.DocumentElement.FirstChild.FirstChild.InnerXml = "AA";
   			//Uncomment the following 2 lines to get the correct behavior.
   			//System.Xml.XmlNode node = xd.DocumentElement.FirstChild.FirstChild;
   			//node.InnerText ="AA";
   
   			Console.WriteLine( xd.DocumentElement.FirstChild.FirstChild.InnerXml );
   			Console.WriteLine("");
   			Console.WriteLine( xd.DataSet.GetXml());
   			
   
   		}
   	}
   }
    
   
   
   					

The following output is generated. The original value of colString is shown on the first line, followed by the replaced value. Notice that the value of colString under the MyTable1 element does not contain any values in the XML that is generated below it.

Zero
AA

<MyDataSet>
  <MyTable1 colStringAttr="Zero">
    <colString />
    <colInt>0</colInt>
    <MyTable2>
      <colString>Zero</colString>
      <colInt>0</colInt>
    </MyTable2>
  </MyTable1>
  <MyTable1 colStringAttr="One">
    <colString>One</colString>
    <colInt>1</colInt>
    <MyTable2>
      <colString>One</colString>
      <colInt>1</colInt>
    </MyTable2>
  </MyTable1>
</MyDataSet>

				

To resolve the problem:

1. Comment the following line of code:

   xd.DocumentElement.FirstChild.FirstChild.InnerXml = "AA";
   					

2. Uncomment the following lines of code:

   System.Xml.XmlNode node = xd.DocumentElement.FirstChild.FirstChild;
   node.InnerText ="AA";
   					

   The following output is generated. The modified node text is also reflected in the DataSet.

   Zero
   AA
   
   <MyDataSet>
     <MyTable1 colStringAttr="Zero">
       <colString>AA</colString>
       <colInt>0</colInt>
       <MyTable2>
         <colString>Zero</colString>
         <colInt>0</colInt>
       </MyTable2>
     </MyTable1>
     <MyTable1 colStringAttr="One">
       <colString>One</colString>
       <colInt>1</colInt>
       <MyTable2>
         <colString>One</colString>
         <colInt>1</colInt>
       </MyTable2>
     </MyTable1>
   </MyDataSet>
