  "<NavigationDetails Title=\"Nw\" Description=\"Nw\" NavigateTo=\"Nw\" ImageUrl=\"\" MenuOrder=\"\" />"

  Parse this string in XmlDocument.

  XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument();
  
  xml.LoadXml("<NavigationDetails Title=\"Nw\" Description=\"Nw\" NavigateTo=\"Nw\" ImageUrl=\"\" MenuOrder=\"\" />");

  Then add value:

  IEnumerator ie = doc.SelectNodes("/NavigationDetails").GetEnumerator();
  
              while (ie.MoveNext())
              {
                  if ((ie.Current as XmlNode).Attributes["key"].Value == "MenuOrder")
                  {
                      (ie.Current as XmlNode).Attributes["value"].Value = "hello";
                  }
              }
  
              xml.Save(path);

  Please mark the replies as if they help or unmark if not.

  Hi maheshvishnu,

  Thanks for your post.

  Please refer to the following sample to update the value of XML attribute.

  XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(Server.MapPath("NavigationDetails.xml"));
  
  foreach (var element in xdoc.Descendants("NavigationDetails"))
  {
      string MenuOrder = element.Attribute("MenuOrder").Value.ToString();
  
      if (MenuOrder=="")
      {
          element.Attribute("MenuOrder").Value = "1";
      }
  }
  
  xdoc.Save(Server.MapPath("NavigationDetails.xml")); 
  

  Best Regards,

  Fei Han
