xmldocument and nodes

[Visslan]

Hello!

I want to make a xmlstructure like this:

<?xml version="1.0" ?> 
  <ROOT>
      This is the text of the root element 
       <SupplierID>
             Supplier id
             <SupplierName>Supplier name</SupplierName> 
       </SupplierID>
  </ROOT>

This is my code so far:

  xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
            //let's add the XML declaration section
            xmlnode = xmldoc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.XmlDeclaration, "", "");
            xmldoc.AppendChild(xmlnode);

            //let's add the root element
            xmlelem = xmldoc.CreateElement("", "ROOT", "");
            xmltext = xmldoc.CreateTextNode("This is the text of the root element");

            xmlelem.AppendChild(xmltext);
            xmldoc.AppendChild(xmlelem);

            //let's add another element (child of the root)
            xmlelem2 = xmldoc.CreateElement("", "SupplierID", "");
            xmltext = xmldoc.CreateTextNode("Supplier id");
            xmlelem2.AppendChild(xmltext);
            xmldoc.ChildNodes.Item(1).AppendChild(xmlelem2);

now my problem I don't know how to add a node into my first node SupplierID?

Try using the CreateStartElement() method when creating a parent node like that. Then use CreateElement() to append elements to the current parent node. Don't forget to call EndStartElement() for each CreateStartElement() call.

If you need to serialize/unserialize some data structures, you can use XmlSerializer. There is also a new set of classes for handling XML documents, XElement. For simple files like yours I think it's much easier to use.
