want to set properties in C#

[Owen Corpening]

If I have an xml file and want to set some properties in it (read and write
it I guess), what is the best alternative?

I don't want to use xlst - this seems like I should be able to just specify
the node and replace the parameter similar to what I am doing now in
InstallScript:

oConfig = CreateObject("MSXML.DOMDocument");
oConfig.load(configFile);
oLanguageCtl =
oConfig.selectSingleNode("Config/GeneralDlgs/LocaleInfoDlg/LanguageCtl");
oLanguageCtl.text = Locale;
....
oConfig.save(configFile);

for the parameter shown here:

<Config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="C:\Doc\XML_based_si lent_install\InstallConfig
_APJSP.xsd">
<GeneralDlgs>
<LocaleInfoDlg Visible="false">
<LanguageCtl>English (United States)</LanguageCtl>

This is the .NET solution closest to your scripting language example,

- - - configDocument.cs (excerpt)
using System;
using System.Xml;
: :
XmlDocument oConfig = new XmlDocument( );
oConfig.Load( "config.xml");
XmlNode oLanguageCtl = oConfig.SelectSingleNode(
"Config/GeneralDlgs/LocaleInfoDlg/LanguageCtl");
oLanguageCtl.FirstChild.Value = "Spanish (Spain)";
: :
Console.WriteLine( oConfig.OuterXml);
