This is fairly obvious:

XmlDocument newDocument = new XmlDocument();
XmlDocument documentToCopy = new XmlDocument();
documentToCopy. Load(fromWherev erItComesFrom);
XmlNode imported = newDocument.Imp ortNode(documen tToCopy.Documen tElement);
newDocument.App endChild(import ed);

One way using the DOM/XmlDocument:

XmlDocument xmlDocument1 = new XmlDocument();
xmlDocument1.Lo ad("file1.xml") ;

XmlDocument xmlDocument2 = new XmlDocument();
xmlDocument2.Lo ad("file2.xml") ;

xmlDocument1.Do cumentElement.A ppendChild(xmlD ocument1.Import Node(xmlDocumen t2.DocumentElem ent,
true));

xmlDocument1.Sa ve("file3.xml") ;
// of course you can also overwrite the existing document with e.g.
// xmlDocument1.Sa ve("file1.xml") ;
Should also be possible using XmlReader and XmlWriter but needs more code.
