How to add HtmlGenericControl to a HtmlNode?

Question

I'm stuck, this must be very simple to accomplish but i'm not seeing how.

I have this code:

 var divEl = doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//div[@id='" + field.Id + "']");

 var newdiv = new HtmlGenericControl("div");
 newdiv.Attributes.Add("id", label.ID);
 newdiv.Attributes.Add("text", label.Text);
 newdiv.Attributes.Add("class", label.CssClass);

And i need to do something like this:

    divEl.AppendChild(newdiv); //not working its expecting a HtmlNode, not a HtmlGenericControl

How can i convert this?

Thanks for any response in advance, chapas

Try the code below. you will need to make some changes. controls innerHTML is well formed and can be used as innerXML for an xmlNode

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
//Load your xml here TODO
var divEl = doc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("//div[@id='test']"); //Change your xpath here TODO
var newdiv = new HtmlGenericControl("div"); 
newdiv.Attributes.Add("id", "id"); 
newdiv.Attributes.Add("text", "text"); 
newdiv.Attributes.Add("class", "class");

XmlNode newNode = doc.CreateNode("NodeType", "NodeName", "URI/if/any"); //update your variables here
newNode.InnerXml = newdiv.InnerHtml;
divEl.AppendChild(newNode);

Hope this helps
