Add CData Section to existing xml string

Hi friend,

Below code will show you how to add CData section in xml file:

            XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
            XmlNode xmlRoot, xmlNode, xmlitem;
            xmlRoot = xmldoc.CreateElement("Item");

                xmldoc.AppendChild(xmlRoot);
                xmlitem = xmldoc.CreateElement("item");
                xmlRoot.AppendChild(xmlitem);
              
                xmlNode = xmldoc.CreateElement("name");
                xmlitem.AppendChild(xmlNode);
                XmlCDataSection cdata = xmldoc.CreateCDataSection(getFileName(file));
                xmlNode.AppendChild(cdata);
In you case you can find the XmlNode by other techniques like e.g., below is the code how to navigate to particular tag in existing XML
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(project);
                XmlDocument m_document = new XmlDocument();
                m_document.Load(reader);
                //Instantiate an XmlNamespaceManager object.
                System.Xml.XmlNamespaceManager xmlnsManager = new System.Xml.XmlNamespaceManager(m_document.NameTable);

                //Add the namespaces used in books.xml to the XmlNamespaceManager.
                xmlnsManager.AddNamespace("ms", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003");

                reader.Close();
                System.Xml.XmlNodeList nl;
                XmlNode node = m_document.DocumentElement;

                XmlNodeList nList = node.SelectNodes("/ms:Project/ms:ItemDefinitionGroup",xmlnsManager);


Hope this helps you.

Thanks
