stop overwriting an xml file

Question

hey from my previous question..

ive managed to finally get it all working...

if i click submit.. a file is then created in xml format but if i enter new data it will overwrite the same file how do i stop this..

this is the code i am using

Protected Sub btnWriteXML_onClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Try

            Dim enc As Encoding
            Dim objXMLTW As New XmlTextWriter(Server.MapPath("contact.xml"), enc)
            objXMLTW.WriteStartDocument()
            objXMLTW.WriteStartElement("Feedback Form")

how do i stop this from overwriting?

Answer 1

You would need to make the filename unique. Perhaps adding a timestamp or a guid or writing logic to add a sequential number onto the filename?
