This might be a simple question....
I have an xml file:
< xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" >
<Content>
<Element1>ele2</Element1>
<Element2>ele2</Element2>
</Content>
I want to replace Content with Page in my C# application and I tried:
XmlNode firstNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("Content");
firstNode.LocalName.Replace("Content","Page");
Obviously I am doing it wrong or not understanding it properly, so, I am not getting the desired output. What is the correct api that I should use

Replace main node name

I didn't understand how you want me to use this. LoadXml can be used like LoadXml("<item><name>wrench</name></item>"), so, how could it update an already existing node
In my example, I did use load like:
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.Load("file.xml");
and tried using:
XmlNode firstNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("Content");
firstNode.LocalName.Replace("Content","Page");

hi,
i'm still learning too , i don't know anyway to rename the xmlnodes but i would do it in different way till i find a way to do that like for example
to user streamreader to load the xmlfile to normal string and replace the nodes name that i want first then set my file in xmldoc like
XmlDoc.LoadXml(mystring) instead of
XmlDoc.Load("filepath.xml")
hope this helps

hi,
the problem in the code that you use is that local name or name is readonly property you can't change the node tag by it , and we don't know the class that change the node if there any , anyway you can use stream reader then put the content in xmldoc
it will be something like this
string myfiletext;
using (System.IO.StreamReader mystream = new System.IO.StreamReader("Myxmlfile.xml"))
{
myfiletext = mystream.ReadToEnd();
}
myfiletext = myfiletext.Replace("<Content>", "<Page>");
myfiletext = myfiletext.Replace("</Content>", "</Page>");
System.Xml.XmlDocument XmlDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
XmlDoc.LoadXml(myfiletext);
hope this helps
