VS 2008 XML Write Empty Element?

Im trying to create an empty element in an xml file but still want to be able to close other elements without changing the empty element.What XMLTextWrite does to empty elements:
<Data>
<Feed>
<EmptyElement />
</Feed>
<Data>

When i use the text writer i cant use <writer>.StartEndElement() it starts to screw with my empty element. When im still having my program write inside feed. Here some code your you to drool over.

My example

Dim Settings As New XmlWriterSettings()
Settings.Indent = True

[code]....
