Remove Child Node!

[Petrucci2000]

Input Xml:

<foo>
<bar id="1">
<child1>
<innerChild />
...............
</child1>
<child2>
<innerChild />
............
</child2>
</bar>
<bar id="2">
........
</bar>
</foo>

output:
<foo>
<bar id="2">
........

1. You need to find it, eg

XmlNode node = doc.SelectSingl eNode( "/foo/bar[@id='1']" ) ;

2. The "Remove" operations will do what you want (they don't unwrap,
they remove the subtree).

So one way:

node.ParentNode .RemoveChild( node ) ;

(An aside: attributes of type ID must be NAMEs, so they're not
supposed to start with numbers. Just in case that's your intention.)

XmlDocument doc=new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(fileNa me);

XmlNode node=doc.Select SingleNode("des cendant::bar[@id='1']");
doc.DocumentEle ment.RemoveChil d(node);

doc.Save(fileNa me);

HTH

Cheers!!
