Edit an XML file

semilemon · April 13th, 2007, 10:28 PM

Hello. How would I go about editing the data contained in an XML file. Like let's say its called info.xml, and it looks like this:

================================================== ================
<Document>
<Node1>Information1</Node1>
<Node2>Information2</Node1>
</Document>
================================================== ================

How could I change the InnerText of <Node1>? Thanks.

If only computers could write programs themselves...

<sarcasm>
Open the file in notepad, highlight "Information1", type the new data, click File->Save.

Now for the answer I assume you really want...
I think this should be pretty close (from memory).

Code:

XmlDocument objDoc = new XmlDocument();
objDoc.Load("info.xml");
XmlNode objNode = objDoc.SelectSingleNode("/Document/Node1");
objNode.Value = "New value";
objDoc.Save("info.xml");

Hey, thank-you for the code! It worked perfectly. The only change required was that "objNode.Value" became "objNode.InnerText". Once again thanks!
