Add Attribute In XmlReader

[viditmittal]

hi
Is there any way by which i can add an Attribute to each node in
XmlReader, without looping through the XmlReader.

Even if i have to loop than also how it can be done.

my xml is:

<employee>
<firstname />
<lastname />
</employee>
<employee>
<firstname />
<lastname />
</employee>
<employee>
<firstname />
<lastname />
</employee>

and i want

<employee id="0">
<firstname />
<lastname />
</employee>
<employee id="0">
<firstname />
<lastname />
</employee>
<employee id="0">
<firstname />
<lastname />
</employee>
how it can be done

thanx
Vidit

An XmlReader is a pull based read only access to XML so I am not sure
why you think you can add attributes or anything with an XmlReader.
If you wanted to add attributes to XML you can read it in with a reader
but you need than some other code to do any changes, perhaps by having
an XmlWriter that copies all stuff from the reader but adds attributes
where you want them.

<employee id="0">
<firstname />
<lastname />
</employee>
<employee id="0">
<firstname />
<lastname />
</employee>
<employee id="0">
<firstname />
<lastname />
</employee>

Why would you want to give all <employee> elements the same id?
