Change Value of Existing Element

Lee

I have an xml Structure:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Request>
<Operations>
<Command>
<OpType>login </OpType>
<Params>
<UserName>leebo </UserName>
<Password>leebo </Password>
</Params>
</Command>
</Operations>
</Request>

I'm trying to find out how to change the value of an element, say
<userName>joh n</UserName>

I'm using an XmlDocument, but I've been searching MSDN and google
groups for a couple of hours and I can't seem to find an answer.

Must I create and use an XMLWriter to perform this one small function?

Basically, I just need to change one element's value.

Sorry for such as basic question.

Hi,

Yes. You must read in the document and write it back with the

Change value in existing Web.config file

by: Frankie | last post by:

I'm writing a small utility app (C# Windows forms) used to create new ASP.NET Web sites. This utility needs to be able to change existing values in an existing Web.config.

what's the difference between value-initialization and default-initialization?

by: Jess | last post by:

Hello, I understand the default-initialization happens if we don't initialize an object explicitly. I think for an object of a class type, the value is determined by the constructor, and for the built-in types, the value is usually garbage. Is this right? However, I'm a bit confused about value-initialization, when does it happen, and what kind of values are assigned to objects?

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
