  add parent node to existing xml - linq

  May 31, 2012 07:05 PM|LINK

  I have an xml file that looks like the following and I want to add a parent node after the Insurer section and before the Broker - notice that in the Broker section, there will be multiple elements groupings.. The node in bold is what I want to add - no elements needed just the two tags.

  <BatchDataSet>

  <Insurer>

  elements...

  </Insurer>

  <Brokers>

  <Broker>

  <broker elements...>

  </Broker>

  <Broker>

  <broker elements...>

  </Broker>

  </Brokers>

  </BatchDataSet>

  Well, You can also use the code below to add the node.

  XmlDocument objDOM = new XmlDocument();
              objDOM.Load(@"c:\temp\data.xml");
  
              XmlNodeList nodeList = objDOM.SelectNodes("BatchDataSet/Broker");
  
              objDOM.SelectSingleNode("BatchDataSet").InsertAfter(objDOM.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, null, "Brokers", string.Empty), objDOM.SelectSingleNode("BatchDataSet/Insurer"));
  
              foreach (XmlNode n in nodeList)
              {
                  objDOM.SelectSingleNode("BatchDataSet").RemoveChild(n);
                  objDOM.SelectSingleNode("BatchDataSet/Brokers").InsertAfter(n, null);
  
              }

  Thank you very much! Just what I needed.  Also, remember to add objDOM.save  to save after this update. I wanted to add this in case someone else needs a solution like this.

  Thanks again!!
