using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml;

int main()
{
   XmlDocument^ doc = gcnew XmlDocument;
   doc->LoadXml( "<book ISBN='1-861001-57-5'><title>Pride And Prejudice</title></book>" );

   //Create a new attribute.
   XmlAttribute^ newAttr = doc->CreateAttribute( "genre" );
   newAttr->Value = "novel";

   //Create an attribute collection and add the new attribute
   //to the collection.
   XmlAttributeCollection^ attrColl = doc->DocumentElement->Attributes;
   attrColl->InsertAfter( newAttr, attrColl[ 0 ] );
   Console::WriteLine( "Display the modified XML...\r\n" );
   Console::WriteLine( doc->OuterXml );
