XmlNode::AppendChild Method (XmlNode^)

 

Adds the specified node to the end of the list of child nodes, of this node.

Namespace:   System.Xml
Assembly:  System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)

public:
virtual XmlNode^ AppendChild(
	XmlNode^ newChild
)

Parameters

newChild
Type: System.Xml::XmlNode^

The node to add. All the contents of the node to be added are moved into the specified location.

Return Value

Type: System.Xml::XmlNode^

The node added.

Exception Condition
InvalidOperationException

This node is of a type that does not allow child nodes of the type of the newChild node.

The newChild is an ancestor of this node.

ArgumentException

The newChild was created from a different document than the one that created this node.

This node is read-only.

If the newChild is already in the tree, it is removed from its original position and added to its target position. For more information about inserting nodes, see Inserting Nodes into an XML Document.

If the node being inserted was created from another document, you can use XmlDocument::ImportNode to import the node to the current document. The imported node can then be inserted into the current document.

Notes to Inheritors:

When overriding AppendChild in a derived class, in order for events to be raised correctly, you must call the AppendChild method of the base class.

The following example adds a new node to the XML document.

#using <System.Xml.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml;
int main()
{
   XmlDocument^ doc = gcnew XmlDocument;
   doc->LoadXml( "<book genre='novel' ISBN='1-861001-57-5'>"
   "<title>Pride And Prejudice</title>"
   "</book>" );
   XmlNode^ root = doc->DocumentElement;

   //Create a new node.
   XmlElement^ elem = doc->CreateElement( "price" );
   elem->InnerText = "19.95";

   //Add the node to the document.
   root->AppendChild( elem );
   Console::WriteLine( "Display the modified XML..." );
   doc->Save( Console::Out );
}

Output:

Display the modified XML...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="IBM437"?>
<book genre="novel" ISBN="1-861001-57-5">
  <title>Pride And Prejudice</title>
  <price>19.95</price>
