Let's say a XML file having format like :
XML file format : ------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <items> <item id="1"> <content>Get groceries</content> <status>false</status> </item> <item id="2"> <content>Wash your car</content> <status>true</status> </item> </items>
Now we want to add new element in existing XML file.
Add new Node to existing XML file: ------------------------------------- using System.Xml; using System.IO;
//call this method from page load private void AddNodeXML(string strFilePath) {
//get the existing xml file full path string XMLFile = Path.GetFullPath(strFilePath);
//create object of XML Document XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
//load XML document from given URL xDoc.Load(XMLFile);
//get the root node in which you want to add new node XmlNode menu = xDoc.SelectSingleNode("//items");
//now,create new node with name,id and value XmlNode newNode = xDoc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "item", null); XmlAttribute xa = xDoc.CreateAttribute("id"); xa.Value = "3"; newNode.Attributes.Append(xa); //append new node as child node
menu.AppendChild(newNode);
//create new element XmlNode newContent = xDoc.CreateElement("content"); newContent.InnerText = "Clean Table"; newNode.AppendChild(newContent); XmlNode newStatus = xDoc.CreateElement("status"); newStatus.InnerText = "true";
//append new created element in node newNode.AppendChild(newStatus);
//save xml file xDoc.Save(XMLFile); }
