Hello every one! I have a little problem of deleting xml node. I have deleted successfully the

attributes of node <ScreenSupportItem> but opening and closing tag of node was not deleted

<ScreenSupportItem> and </ScreenSupportItem>.
But i have to delete also the opening and clsing tag ofthe node <ScreenSupportItem> means I have to

remove every thing of <ScreenSupportItem>.How can I do this.

following is the structure of my xml file
--------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinkInformation xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <LinkToolId>0</LinkToolId>
  <LinkToolVersion>1.0.1</LinkToolVersion>
<ScreensToSupport>
    <ScreenToSupport>
      <ScreenUniqueId>c1f13323-209b-4b0e-ad8d-d34f64d34c28</ScreenUniqueId>
    <SupportItems>
        <ScreenSupportItem>
          <LinkDate>2007-10-25T11:47:10.515625+05:30</LinkDate>
          <LinkAuthor>SUBHASH\Login Subhash</LinkAuthor>
          <LinkURL>C:\Documents and Settings\Login Subhash\Desktop\main.html</LinkURL>
          <LinkText>Adding New Html Help</LinkText>
          <OptionalSupportInstruction />
          <RefId>3</RefId>
        </ScreenSupportItem>
    <ScreenSupportItem>
          ...
        </ScreenSupportItem>
    <ScreenSupportItem>
          ....
        </ScreenSupportItem>
    </SupportItems>
</ScreensToSupport>
</LinkInformation>
--------------------------------------------------------
following is my c# code
--------------------------------------------------------
//int intRefId = Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString["RefId"]);
int intRefId = 3;
string strXPath =

"/LinkInformation/ScreensToSupport/ScreenToSupport/SupportItems/ScreenSupportItem[RefId='" +

intRefId + "']";

                XmlNode newParent = doc.SelectSingleNode(strXPath);
                XmlNodeList newChildNodeList = newParent.ParentNode.ChildNodes;
                foreach (XmlNode node1 in newChildNodeList)
                    {
                        foreach (XmlNode node in node1)
                        {
                            if (node.Name == "LinkURL" && node.InnerText == hdntxtUrlLink.Text)
                            {
                                intCount++;
                            }
                            if (node.Name == "LinkText" && node.InnerText == hdntxtUrlTitle.Text)
                            {
                                intCount++;
                            }
                        }
                        if (intCount == 2)
                        {
                            node1.RemoveAll();// This line deleted successfully the node but it left start and end tag of the node <ScreenSupportItem> and </ScreenSupportItem>
                            lblError.Text = "Deleted successfully !";
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                    doc.Save(strXMLFile);

To delete a node you need to remove it from its parent.

node1.ParentNode.RemoveChild(node1);

I really would recommend getting a book or something as these are fairly elementary questions you are asking.

You could try searching for a Xml .Net tutorial, like this one:
http://www.topxml.com/dotnet/ or http://www.topxml.com/system_xml/default.asp
