Add XML Node Attribute Help..

[kleptos]

Below is code i have to write an a node to an xml file. How can i add an attribute to the "error" node?



XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("Errors.xml");

XmlNode node = doc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element,"error",null);
XmlNode item = doc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element,"date",null);
item.InnerText = DateTime.Now.ToString();
doc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(node);
node.AppendChild(item);

doc.Save("Errors.xml");



The above gives me this:
<error>
<date>4/5/2003</date>
</error>

I want this:
<error id="14">
<date>4/5/2003</date>
</error>

Here you go:


doc.DocumentElement.SetAttribute("id", "14");

or...

XmlAttribute attr = doc.CreateAttribute("id");
attr.Value = "14";
doc.DocumentElement.SetAttributeNode(attr);

Awsome, Thank you....

Now, my next issue, and i didnt explain it right, sorry, this is what i need it to do.


<errors>
<error id="12">
<message>Message Here</message>
</error>
<error id="13">
<message>Message Here</message>
</error>
</errors>


That code (which works great) gave me this

<errors id="12">
<error>
<message>Message Here</message>
</error>
<error>
<message>Message Here</message>
</error>
</errors>

All you have to do is get a reference to the node you want to append additional nodes to.


XmlNode node = doc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("error");
XmlAttribute x = doc.CreateAttribute("id");
x.Value = "14";
node.Attributes.SetNamedItem(x);
