SetAttribute method does not exist for my XmlNode object

[Earl Teigrob]

I am having trouble creating an Attribute on a new node. The
NodeObject.SetAttribute(x,y) method does not exist for the "RecordElement"
node. What am I missing???

Earl

XmlDocument d = new XmlDocument();

d.Load(savepath);

XmlNode RootNode = d.DocumentElement;
//CREATE THE RECORD NODE

XmlNode RecordElement = d.CreateElement("RECORD");

//RecordElement.SetAttribute(name, value) does not exist here

XmlNode class has no SetAttribute method, because generic node can't
have attributes. It's only elements who able to bear attributes, so
SetAttribute is XmlElement class's method. Actually CreateElement()
method returns XmlElement and it's you mistake that you are upcasting it
to XmlNode. Use instead:

XmlElement RecordElement = d.CreateElement("RECORD");
RecordElement.SetAttribute(name, value);
