Weird Issue XML AppendChild

[anonymous]

Can you not append a XmlWhiteSpace node to XmlDocument?

See example:

using System;
using System.Xml;

class TestXml
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
string xmlDoc = @"<root><child> a</child></root>";

string newXml = @"
<child>b</child>
<child>c</child>
";

XmlDocument d = new XmlDocument();
d.LoadXml(xmlDo c);

XmlElement tmpNode = d.CreateElement ("newNodes") ;
tmpNode.InnerXm l = newXml;

//there are 5 nodes, 2 Elements
Console.WriteLi ne("Number of nodes: " + tmpNode.ChildNo des.Count);
int i = 0;
foreach(XmlNode n in tmpNode)
{
//HMM: should run 5 times right since tmpNode has 5 children but only
runs once!?
//HOWEVER, if you simply add NON-whitespace nodes, it'll work correctly
Console.WriteLi ne("NODE: " + i++ + ", " + n);
//now append the child node
d.AppendChild(n );
}

}
}

Should it be foreach(XmlNode n in tmpNode.ChildNo des) ?

Oleg-
No difference if you change it.

And..If you change

-->foreach(XmlNod e n in tmpNode)

to:

-->foreach(XmlNod e n in tmpNode)
{
if(n.NodeType != XmlNodeType.Ele ment) continue;

Still NO GO.

However, this works:

-->foreach(XmlNod e n in tmpNode.SelectN odes("//child") )


Truly baffled... or stupid. Probably the latter.

Hmm, both your strings are equal. I meant that's weird to iterate over a
single node. Most likely you want to iterate over tmpNode's childrens?

foreach(XmlNode n in tmpNode.ChildNo des)
