XmlAdd

Add an Attribute

Adding an attribute is a little different to all the other operations on an XML file, as you will need to provide an additional attribute attribute to identify the attribute name.

<XML source="test.xml">
  <Add attribute="value" xpath="/configuration/configSections/section">xmladd</Add>
</XML>

Add a Fragment

When you need to add a chunk of XML at a particular point in a document, you can identify the parent node via XPath and then simply wrap the XML snippet in a ![CDATA[]] wrapper.

<XML source="test.xml">
  <Add xpath="/configuration/nhibernate"><![CDATA[<Node><Test>xmladd</Test></Node>]]></Add>
</XML>

Add a Node

To add a node, simply provide the XPath to the parent node, and provide a value.

<XML source="test.xml">
  <Add xpath="/configuration/nhibernate">SimpleNode</Add>
</XML>
