How to add new attribute to XmlNode

[CSharper]

I am reading an XmlFile using XmlDocument and traverse through the
XmlNode, as I read I need to append an attribute to the XmlNode on
some conditions.

I tried xmlNode.Attribu tes.Append()

It takes only XmlAttribute and in this when I create a new
XmlAttribute, it doesn't allow me to set the name and value as the
name is only the readonly value. How can I achive this?

According to:

it can be done.

Hi CSharper,

First create the attribute, like xmldoc.CreateAt tribute("newatt ribute"),
update it and, then, add it by CreateChild.

Well, you can only set attributes on elements, so I assume your
XmlNode is actually an XmlElement (XmlElement is a more-specific
XmlNode implementation) .

As such, the easiest way to handle attributes is to cast your node to
an element:

XmlNode node = {TODO};
XmlElement el = (XmlElement)nod e;
el.SetAttribute ("Foo", "Bar");

Alternatively (leaving as XmlNode):

XmlNode node = {TODO};
XmlAttribute attrib =
node.OwnerDocum ent.CreateAttri bute("Foo");
attrib.Value = "Bar";
node.Attributes .Append(attrib) ;

Heh, had a mistake in the last msg, sorry, no CreateChile for node. Correct
way:
1. Create the attribute: XmlAttribute attr = doc.CreateAttri bute("newattrib ute");
2. Append one: xmlNode.Attribu tes.Append(attr );

The value can be set after both steps.
