  Can you clarify your question? Does the child element already exists? Does the attribute already exist? Do you just want to set a value for the attribute or create it and set a value? Do you want to do this for all children of an element? What have you tried so far?

  How to add Attributes to children of xelement???

  Hi,

  Suppose your xml looks like this:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
  <mDoc>
    <child>My Child</child>
  </mDoc>
  

  And now you can use XDocument to fetch the child element and do adding attributes;)

  namespace CSharp
  {
      using System.Threading.Tasks;
      using System.Xml.Linq;
      using System.Linq;
   
      class Program
      {
          static void Main(string[] args)
          {
              XElement ele = (XElement)XDocument.Load("XMLFile1.xml").Root.FirstNode;
              ele.SetAttributeValue("myattr", "myvalue");
              ele.Save("d:\\try.txt");
          }
   
      }
  }
