TPAttendanceWrite attWrite = new TPAttendanceWrite();                    
bool done = attWrite.WriteLessonAttendances(xmlstring);

// Option 2

TPAttendanceWrite attWrite = new TPAttendanceWrite();                    
bool done = attWrite.WriteLessonAttendances2(xmlstring);

//The operation of WriteLessonAttendances2() differs from WriteLessonAttendances() 
// in the fact that each <LessonAttendance> in the input xml is validated and only commited if passed.
//WriteLessonAttendances() fails to commit all <LessonAttendance> input if there is a validation error.
