inserting a node

[John Hopper]

I have an rss document (below) and I need to insert a new item after the last
existing item. Can someone suggest an approach/strategy? I don't even really
know where to begin.

Thanks,


<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <rss version="2.0">

Well the DOM with XmlDocument is one way in .NET to manipulate an XML
document e.g. C# code
XmlDocument rssFeed = new XmlDocument();
rssFeed.Load(@" file.xml");
XmlElement newItem = rssFeed.CreateE lement("item");
XmlElement description = rssFeed.CreateE lement("descrip tion");
description.Inn erText = "descriptio n goes here";
newItem.AppendC hild(descriptio n);
XmlElement channel = rssFeed.SelectS ingleNode("/rss/channel") as
XmlElement;
if (channel != null) {
channel.AppendC hild(newItem);
rssFeed.Save(@" file.xml");
}
