  • And the error is? How do you expect getting help without saying what actually goes wrong?

  • You didn't say what the error was. However, you need to remove the ToString (path is, already a String). Dim writer As New XmlTextWriter(path, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)

  • ToString(path) doesn't make sense. Use CStr() to convert stuff to strings. But that isn't necessary since it is already a string, so simply use path.
