Wrap XmlNode with tags - C#

Question

I have the following xml:

<span>sometext</span>

and I want to wrap this XmlNode with another tag:

<p><span>sometext</span></p>

How can i achieve this. For parsing i use XmlDocument (C#).

Answer 1

You must use the CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "p", "") of XmlDocument.

Then append the old node to the new one with the AppendChild method

Hello, you can try something like this.

        string xml = "<span>sometext</span>";
        XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
        xDoc.LoadXml(xml);
        // If you have XmlNode already, you can start from this point
        XmlNode node = xDoc.DocumentElement;
        XmlNode parent = node.ParentNode;
        XmlElement xElement = xDoc.CreateElement("p");
        parent.RemoveChild(node);
        xElement.AppendChild(node);
        parent.AppendChild(xElement);
