How do I write XML into XMLDocument?

[oceanexplorer]

Hi, I am currently returning an XmlDocument from a webservice using the following: [OperationContract] [FaultContract(typeof(Anaqua.Domain.AnaquaServiceError))] [XmlSerializerFormat] public XmlDocument GetLawUpdateGenerationXML(short versionNum) { ///Code here to gets the xml from the db } Then in my page that consumes the webservice I did the following: XmlDocument doc = (XmlDocument)svc.GetLawUpdateGenerationXML(internalVersionNumber); However it is saying: Cannot convert type 'System.Xml.XmlElement' to 'System.Xml.XmlDocument' Now I think this is because of the serialization using[XmlSerializerFormat] So how would I go about reading the XML into and XML Document?

If you wish to append a child node to the document root of an already created XML file then be sure to have using System.Xml; then the following will add a node:

        XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
        xmlDoc.Load("path to your xml file that already had a root document node");
        XmlNode newXmlNode = xmlDoc.CreateElement("tagname");
        newXmlNode.AppendChild(xmlDoc.CreateTextElement("The tag's text node Value"));
        xmlDoc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(newXmlNode);
