Question

I have an xml document where an xml node with a particular name, say ‘Data’ can appear anywhere in the xml document i.e anywhere in the hierarchy. I need to read these nodes with their node name alone and edit the node attributes. What is the easiest way to do it?

Answer 1

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(@"Test.xml");
XmlNodeList elem = doc.GetElementsByTagName("Data");
foreach (XmlNode tag in elem)
{
 //do whatever you want to the attribute using SetAttribute method
}

XmlElement.GetElementsByTagName Method would do the trick
