treid formattging soemthing like this but it sticks it after LOGIN not REC

                 IEnumerable<XElement> list = doc.Element("INPUT").Elements("LOGIN");
             var addElement = new XElement("an", new XAttribute("id", i));
             list.Last().AddAfterSelf(addElement);

Answer 1

It sounds like you’re trying to add it as a child of REC. That’s easy:

// If there are multiple `REC` elements, you'll need to work out which one you want
var recElement = doc.Descendants("REC").First();
recElement.Add(new XElement("an", new XAttribute("id", i)));
