in this i want to change the  pub-id-type into book-id-type. i tried with following code. but i always got null error. what is the problem in that.
 
doc.XPathSelectElement("//book-meta/book-id").Attribute("pub-id-type").Remove();
doc.XPathSelectElement("//book-meta/book-id").SetAttributeValue("book-id-type", "doi");
 
 
Thanks in advance.
