append node by element name

[Jassim Rahma]

I have the following xml: how can I add childs to the Contacts using C# but with referring to the by name not by ID? I want to add: my category my contact number

You can use c# DOM to access the XML or DHMTL. Try this: http://progzoo.net/wiki/C%23:Navigating\_over\_DOM\_Tutorial

As I already said, look to XPath. If you load your XML into an XmlDocument, you can get the desired contact by doing:

xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("/Contacts/Contact[@ID='xxxxxxxxx']");

Then, you have a reference to the node into which you can add subnodes.
