XML Split of a Large file

Question

Answer 1

In what way do you need to split it? It's pretty easy to write code using XmlReader.ReadSubTree. It will return a new xmlReader instance against the current element and all its child elements. So, move to the first child of the root, call ReadSubtree, write all those nodes, call Read() using the original reader, and loop until done.
