Add attribute to node created using CreateElement

Hi,
How can I add an attribute (called tag) to a node that I've added to an xml
document using the CreateElement method.
My code is as follows:
XmlDocument doc1 = new XmlDocument();

XmlDeclaration dec = doc1.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", "", "yes");

doc1.PrependChild ( dec );

XmlNode cont = doc1.CreateElement("Container");

doc1.AppendChild(cont);

Thanks in advance.

re: Add attribute to node created using CreateElement

Hi,
I don't see 'SetAttric=bute' in the intellisense list, however inspite of
that if i add the code specified by you and compile the project I get the
following error - System.xml.xmlnode does not contain a definition for
setattribute. Should I add any assembly reference(I am using VS 1.1)
Thanks in advance.
