I'm trying to replace a node's name but I'm getting the following error "The reference node is not a child of this node". I think I know why this is happening but can't seem to work around this problem. Here is the XML:
<payload:Query1 xmlns="" xmlns:payload="" xmlns:xsi="" xsi:schemaLocation="">
<payload:QueryId>stuff</payload:QueryId>
<payload:Data>more stuff</payload:Data>
</payload:Query1>
And here is the C# bit:
doc.Load(readStream);
nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(doc.NameTable);
nsmgr.AddNamespace("payload", "location");
XmlNode Query1 = doc.SelectSingleNode("//payload:Query1", nsmgr);
public XmlDocument sendReply(args)
{
XmlNode newNode = doc.CreateElement("payload:EditedQuery");
Query.InsertBefore(newNode, Query1);
Query.RemoveChild(Query1);
return doc;
}
I'm trying to replace "Query" with "EditedQuery" but his doesn't work.
If you can use .Net 3.5
LINQ to XML,
XElement root = XElement.Load(readStream);
XNamespace ns = "http://somewhere.com";
XElement Query1 = root.Descendants(ns + "Query1").FirstOrDefault();
// should check for null first on Query1...
Query1.ReplaceWith(new XElement(ns + "EditedQuery"));
Or, if you don't know the namespace, or don't want to hard-code it:
XElement root = XElement.Load(readStream);
XElement Query1 = root.Descendants()
.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name.Localname == "Query1");
// should check for null first on Query1...
Query1.ReplaceWith(new XElement(Query1.Name.Namespace + "EditedQuery"));
See Jon Skeet's reason why to use LINQ to XML here over older API's.
