hey man,

here is a sample code:

 public static void Main()
  {
    XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
    doc.LoadXml("" +
                "Pride And Prejudice" +
                "");

    //Create a comment.
    XmlComment newComment;
    newComment = doc.CreateComment("Sample XML document");

    //Add the new node to the document.
    XmlElement root = doc.DocumentElement;
    doc.InsertBefore(newComment, root);

    Console.WriteLine("Display the modified XML...");        
    doc.Save(Console.Out);

  }

Thanks for your help, but it is not working Few changes should be done.
XmlNode node = doc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Comment, "Comments", "");
And this part is not has a problem
XmlNode dummy = doc.InsertBefore(doc.GetElementsByTagName("Main","")[0], node);
The reference node is not a child of this node.

HI

You can do this code

        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
            doc.Load("");
            XmlNode node = doc.CreateNode("Comments", "Comments", "");
            node.InnerText = "This is sytem comments";
            XmlNode dummy = doc.InsertBefore(doc.GetElementsByTagName("Main", "")[0], node);

            doc.Save("filePath");

        }

thank you
