  Hi,

  Suppose you have use two string variables to accept the values, you should use XDocument to do the insert and combine the two xml contents together，so please see this：

  string xml1 = "<university><college><collname>abc</collname><address>dec</address></college></university>";
              string xml2 = "<student><name>rama</name><edu>mca</edu></student>";
              XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(xml1);
              XElement ele = XElement.Parse(xml2);
              doc.Document.Descendants("college").FirstOrDefault().AddAfterSelf(ele);
              doc.Save("c:\\try.xml");

  One method create xml1, second method create xml2 and last method mix up with some addtional elments

  XML1 -> contains 2 elements.

  XML2 -> contains 3 elements.

  XML3 -> contains 1 element + (XML1 and XML2 elements)

  Final result = XMl3 -> 6 Elements.

  Foreach XML there is a different xml document, I don't know how do i mix up them.

  Please advice

  First i use system.xml instead of LINQ.Xml namespace

  Second the method which use in Method2 want to append in Method1 used same XML Document, is it is necessary used the same XML Document

  i doing some thing like this

  public XmlElement createTransferRequest()
      {
          //XmlDocument xdHeadera = new XmlDocument();
          string nSpace = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
          XmlElement xeHeadera = xdHeadera.CreateElement("S", "Envelope", nSpace);
          XmlElement xeHeaderb = xdHeadera.CreateElement("S", "Header", nSpace);
  
          XmlElement xeHeaderc = createTransferRequestHeader();
  
          xeHeaderb.AppendChild(xeHeaderc);
          xeHeadera.AppendChild(xeHeaderb);
  
          return xeHeadera;
      }

  createTransferRequestHeader() methods returns XML Element

  Thank you for your reply i simply call the xml1 method in xml1, make the XMLDocument one time only for all of the three (03) methods

  XmlDocument xdHeadera = new XmlDocument();
      public XmlElement Method1()
      {
          //XmlElement creates here...
  
      }
  
      public XmlElement Method2()
      {
          //XmlElement creates here...
      }
  
      public XmlElement MethodFinal()
      {
          XmlElement xeHeaderd = (XmlElement)Method1();
          xeHeaderb.AppendChild(xeHeaderd);
  
          XmlElement xeHeadere = (XmlElement)Method2();
          xeHeaderb.AppendChild(xeHeadere);
      }
