clone xml node for an other document

[Davidoff]

Hi

How is it possible to copy or clone a node from a given document to an other
document .

Here is my method :

static void test(XmlDocument doc1,XmlDocument doc2)

{

XmlNode node2 = doc2.CreateElement("node2");

XmlNode root1 = doc1["root"];

root1.AppendChild(node2);//exception thrown : inserted node comes from an
other document context

root1.OwnerDocument.Save("target.xml");

}

Thanks for advice

You need to use ImportNode, a method of an XmlDocument e.g.
node1.AppendChild(node1.OwnerDocument.ImportNode(n ode2, true))

See the documentation here:
