How to insert nodes in an existing xml?

[Nevzat Polat]

My programming skills is not very good, neither is my english but I'm going to try explain my problem as good as it gets.

My problem is that I have a search URL, that get an Xml code from an API.
The problem is that I have to make the webrequest to the Url over 20 times.
For that I made a for loop.

xdoc.LoadXml(xresponseFromServer);


                XmlNode xnodes = xdoc.SelectSingleNode("/Collection/articles");
                int mediaId = 0;
                int mediaListId = 0;
                string title = "";
                DateTime modified = DateTime.Parse("2000-01-01");
                CultureInfo CI = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture;
                CultureInfo readOnlyCI = CultureInfo.ReadOnly(CI);
                const DateTimeStyles Style = DateTimeStyles.AssumeLocal;  // Assume it's local time.

                //int mediaIdCounter = 0;
                //int newMediaCounter = 0;
                int updateMediaCounter = 0;
                int deleteMediaCounter = 0;


                // Ensure that we are getting a list with at least one published movie.
                if (xn != null && xnodes.ChildNodes.Count > 0)
                {
                    //set publishedAtProvider=2 for all movies.(later set publishedAtProvider=1 for all mediaId's found in XML. All that still have
                    //published=2 after checking the list has been unpublished. Set PublishedAtProvider=0 for unpublished movies.
                    //Create a new record for each new MediaId in the XML list.
                    //setPublishStatusTwo(operatorCode, country, language);

                    foreach (XmlNode node in xnodes.ChildNodes)
                    {
                        if (node.Name == "article")
                        {
                            // Loop through all Media from GetMediaList
                            foreach (XmlNode childNode in node.ChildNodes)
                            {
                                if (childNode.LocalName.Equals("ExternalId"))
                                {
                                    mediaId = Int32.Parse(childNode.InnerText);
                                    mediaIdCounter = ++mediaIdCounter;
                                }
                                else if (childNode.LocalName.Equals("title"))
                                    title = childNode.InnerText;
                                else if (childNode.LocalName.Equals("modified"))
                                    modified = DateTime.Parse(childNode.InnerText, readOnlyCI, Style);

But how do I save each request to one single Xml, or just one single string?

Thank you

Thanks Bryan.
But I dont think it helps me that much.
The solution is that in line 36, I want to take the "ExternalId " and put it somewhere else. An Xml, or a Listbox or whatever.
The problem is that it loops through 24 times, and I cant get it to work without overwriting all the time.
And I would also like to count all the "ExternalId " and possibly put it into a Label.

Thank you.
