Question

XmlElement updateRecipient = doc.CreateElement('UpdateRecipient');                 XmlElement email = doc.CreateElement('EMAIL');                 XmlElement listID = doc.CreateElement('LIST_ID');                 XmlElement column = doc.CreateElement('COLUMN');                 XmlElement name = doc.CreateElement('NAME');                 XmlElement value = doc.CreateElement('VALUE')                  root.AppendChild(body);                 body.AppendChild(updateRecipient);                 updateRecipient.AppendChild(listID);                 listID.InnerText = _listID;                 updateRecipient.AppendChild(email);                 email.InnerText = _email;                 updateRecipient.AppendChild(column);                 column.AppendChild(name);                 name.InnerText = _columnNameFrequency;                 column.AppendChild(value);                 value.InnerText = _actionID.ToString();                 updateRecipient.AppendChild(column);                 column.AppendChild(name);                 name.InnerText = _columnNameStatus;                 column.AppendChild(value); 

for some reason, I end up getting only one sub column instead of two under updateRecipient Element. I need both to show up under UpdateRecipient Node like this:

<UpdateRecipient> <LIST_ID>85628</LIST_ID> <EMAIL>[e-mail]</EMAIL> <COLUMN> <NAME>Frequency</NAME> <VALUE>1</VALUE> </COLUMN> <COLUMN> <NAME>Status</NAME> <VALUE>Opted In</VALUE> </COLUMN> </UpdateRecipient> 

but so far I am getting only one :

<UpdateRecipient> <LIST_ID>85628</LIST_ID> <EMAIL>[e-mail]</EMAIL> <COLUMN> <NAME>Status</NAME> <VALUE>Opted In</VALUE> </COLUMN> </UpdateRecipient> 

When it hits the first AppendChild(column) and then name and value, frequency shows find but then is later overrident by the Status and I want it to just append a new under and I’mnot sure why it’s overriding rather than adding another tag.

The problem is that you are reusing the ‘column’, ‘name’, & ‘value’ variables. You need to create new XmlElements for the 2nd set.
