XML Node Clone

[wasiq]

I wrote a few lines of code to copy all the ndoes from one xml document to another and it was working fine on VB6. But when I tried to write the same code with a few modifications dealing with datatypes and a few methods, everything is working fine execpt for the appendChild line where I assign the new cloned node. It gives me an error that the node being appended belongs to another xml document. I am really out of ideas solving it. I would really appreciate if anybody could help. Thanks

ya, that was frustrating for me as well when i was making the transition. Look at the ImportNode method of XmlDocument. Works something like this:

Imports System
Imports System.Xml
Module MainApp
 
    Sub Main()
        Dim deepCopy As Boolean = True
        Dim doc1 As New XmlDocument
        doc1.LoadXml("<Whatever/>")
        Dim doc2 As New XmlDocument
        doc2.LoadXml("<Blah/>")
        Dim importedNode As XmlNode
        importedNode = doc1.ImportNode(doc2.DocumentElement, deepCopy)
        doc1.DocumentElement.AppendChild(importedNode)
        Console.WriteLine(doc1.OuterXml)
        Console.ReadLine()
    End Sub
 
End Module
