This method will raise the Changed and the Changing events.
This method has snapshot semantics. It first creates a copy of the new content. It then removes all children nodes of this node. Finally, it adds the new content as children nodes. This means that you can replace children nodes using a query on the children nodes themselves.
The following example creates two XML trees, and then uses this method to replace the contents of one of them with the results of a query.
This example produces the following output:
<Root>
<Child>3</Child>
<Child>4</Child>
<Child>5</Child>
</Root>
